The Shins - Page 3

I got ahold of a complete Shins discography after seeing Graden State, and while their genre usually isn't usually my thing, I think they're a great band.

Some other titles of theirs I like:

Kissing the Lipless
Mine's not a High Horse
Turn a Square

ps. You should really pick up their newer CD, Chutes too Narrow - It's much better than Oh Inverted World, the album Garden State took songs from.

That soundtrack is ill. I don't really like that soft emo crap either, but I loved it. The Shins are cool.

You liked it so I figured I could check it out.

Meh. I DLed Oh, Inverted World and I must say, this [censored] sucks.

I think Chutes Too Narrow is better in almost every way.

It's defenitely not for everybody. It's really cool to me, though.

I find myself playing Oh, Inverted World more. Regardless, they're both great albums, and so I'll disagree with anyone who makes a statement that one or the other is significantly better.

The Shins are really good until you start paying attention to the lyrics.

Then they're [censored] awesome.

The last time I just had to listen to a cd over and over like I did with "Chutes.." was when I got Either/Or by Elliott Smith two years ago.

Around a month ago I was firmly in the CTN-camp as for comparing the two cds. But now I think it's pretty close because of "Know your Onion!" and "New Slang".
CTN still marginally ahead in my book though, just an awesome cd.
