Painful to hear. Really can't stand this stile and whiny voice.

I always liked the Shins, especially after their first 2 albums.  I have an embarrassing confession to make however in that I actually sold my copy of this CD before I started listening to RP.  Now, hearing them regularly on RP has caused me to reach for the 10 rating for nearly every one of their songs, particularly after their most recent and truly incredible album.  Which all goes to prove that Bill is a master who really knows what he is doing.

Great song, the lyrics are so incrediblly off the wall. The whole album is so upbeat, and the video with the penguins is brilliant!

So this is the Shins, eh?  Hmmm.

 

BTW, there is some very strange formatting happening to this web page.

just listened to this album again on a road trip... it's one of those perfect albums, imho.  not a dud in the whole set.  i love singing along.  this will be a record my kids will enjoy, as one of Mom's old records that they share with their friends.  at least that's how i see it.  so clever and self-deprecating, and musically sound too.  love it.

The Shins are cool, but this one has me thinking about when the last time I had my teeth cleaned...

One of many things I really appreciate about the Shins: they end their songs decisively. Rarely do you get a fadeout or a rallentando into a thundering final note. Instead, they bring their tune to a resolution and a close (though sometimes an abrupt one, as in this song).


For the brief time I worked in college radio, our running joke was to cut off songs we thought stank and say "That was -insert band name here-. A fine group but they do not seem able to end a song properly."

Granted a) it was college radio, b) it was 2am-4am Saturday overnight, and c) we were totally in the bag.

Once ate chicken shins in Karpathos and got diarrhea for three weeks. Good song anyway.

The Shins are very much their own thing. Nothing quite like them, in my book.

The Shins really had to grow on me. I bought their album months ago, hated it, and only re-listened recently - and found I dug most of the stuff I didn't like back then. Who knew?

I like this song much better now. :)


I sort of agree with the last two posters. I bought it when it came out, listened to it a few times and then filed it away. Recently I loaded it up on my MP3 player to take on vacation. Listened to it a few times and now I am hooked. Fantastic CD, can't recommend it enough.

Both of their albums are really good actually...if not a lil short, but that seems a common problem lately with new releases, oh well, at least The Shins are good unlike many of the other new releases they call music on MTV

Like the blend of the slight grunge of the 90's with the 80's synth. Nice composition. Nothing much out of place. Lyrics are easily understood and felt. Again, thank you Bill...
