Oh Inverted World and Wincing the Night Away are both almost flawless records. And Chutes is wonderful in its flaws.

Re: tommy says nobody likes the shins
"Something About Airplanes" and "We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes" are killer. "The Photo Album" and "Transatlanticism" are good. The rest are pretty shitty.BurtReynolds wrote:Ugh I hate Death CabSimple Torture wrote:1.

In don't know a single song. Except that one in Garden State when he gives the headphones to Natalie Portman in the supercute scene. I really don't remember how that one goes though.

Put on Chutes too Narrow the other day and made a mental note to come here and post that it still holds up.
I’ve always thought that their lyrics and arrangements were deceptively complex when you look past the preciousness of it all.

One of my favorite bands of the past decade. Their albums usually get better with time, like Pearl Jam.

Re: tommy says nobody likes the shins
I feel like I've posted this before, but anyway
My friend Nick recorded this Shins cover with his friends. He's the guy with the funny hair, playing the banjo and singing at the start. It's good!
