What, Bill's not allowed to do a little scripting in his playlists? I think that if he finds a great sequence of songs then he should by all means program it. I see no problem with human-composed playlists benefiting from the aid of computer programming. Great song, BTW, Bill. |

They are originally from MY city of Albuquerque, NM. They started out here before moving to Portland. (One of my best friends happens to be the original drummer's uncle. Jesse Sandoval left the band... errr... says he got fired... in 2009. According to this 2009 article he was running a food truck in Portland after his exit. Interesting... catering / restaurant business runs in the Sandoval family.) Anyway, I do happen to like this album. Shins music definitely seems to be evolving here. Some say over-produced, I imagine. But still... interesting and more complex than previous Shins work. |

Mercer broke up The Shins in 2007. But, yes, he has resurrected the band with original members Dave Hernandez and Martin Crandall plus Janet Weiss replacing Jesse Sandoval on drums and a dozen other musicians. The new album, Port of Morrow, drops on March 20th. IMHO, the demise was real. Mercer went off and did Broken Bells and simply decided he wanted a band again. Sometimes that's the way things work with bands. |

Excellent stuff. Haven't heard enough of this great band. They are under rated.

I love The Shins, but this album is my least fav. Still pretty awesome, though.

They made only three: Oh, Inverted World, Chutes Too Narrow, and this one, Wincing the Night Away, each IMHO a masterpiece. Get 'em all. |

I need to research this. Never having seen them live (I heard they were only so-so) I'm pissed this great album has to be their swan song. Broken Bells notwithstanding, its not in the same league as "Wincing..." |

The most common pain killers used for recreational polymorphing are t3, also called Tylenol #3, with codeine, oxycodone, and hydrocodone. Reading this definition really brings home how pathetically stupid this kind of behavior is. Bmccaul, I'm right there with you. |

I like the shins, give their other songs 7+ ratings. But this one is a 1 for me. I can't get past the chalkboard-scratching noise, and this is one of the few songs on RP that I have to mute every time it comes on. |

The third Shins song I've heard today. I love it! I read through the lyrics on this album. Almost no chorus, no repeated words. The guy's a brilliant lyricist. And I love the jerky rhythm in this one.
