Giving off more than a little Pink Floyd vibe.

Maybe we should give James a call and share our worries with him.

Hmmm.  This makes me wonder what you would say are the accurately rated CDs of the past decade?  It's all changed since the days when there were consensuses (or is it consensi? sp?).   Music is getting more and more fragmented all the time.  The old rock critic establishment is dead and gone (good riddance).  Now, we can all be critics.  Vote with your pocket book.  Buy the CD.  Post on RP.

Heard the first few bars & thought immediately, Simon & Garfunkel.  Instead the Shins.  next >

Typical "Wincing" song.  These songs just make you feel like they had unused potential.  They're not as good as previous Shins.

Me, cause I love the Shins and mailing from holland is cheaper to austria ...not to mention the ecological disadvantage of airmailing transatlantic...(sorry Jamunca ;P) 

So if anyone has more than my emotional, economic AND ecologic reasoning he deserves the CD more i guess!

One of the strengths of RP is that they play "deep cuts", tracks off of albums that don't necessarily grab you at first listen, like most singles do, but are more sublime and grow on you over time to the point where you wonder how the track escaped your attention in the first place. It's one of the many things that makes RP such a special radio station and why I contribute monthly (or did until I lost my job).
 
Bill will also unearth the ONLY gem from an obscure album & fire it up for our listening pleasure

Great comment.  The first song by the Shins that I like.  I will keep listening.

This is really an impressive album - these guys get better with each one.  They are the best band right now.  I can't get over how good this CD is.

This is nice, but to my mind not worth the heavy play it is getting here. "Once you clean it, there's not much to it."

I second that, this second time I hear the set.
Starting way back at Sinead O'Connor, this has been a very strong combination, Bill.
