Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I have been trying to buy this album for months: it doesn't crop up on ebay very often and usually makes a high price - the new price is never discounted very much either. However it was well worth the wait: terrific songs well written and performed by a young American indie band who have a great future: if you like well crafted guitar based indie rock which concentrates on melody not volume (and who wouldn't) then you should really enjoy this. Highly recemmended.
I was recommended to The Shins by a friend several years ago and really regret waiting so long to buy this! Having heard the album at a friend's, I scrambled to pick it up and it's already one of my favourites. The standout track for me is the opener, Kissing The Lipless, but the whole album has a flow and an intelligence to its lyrics that lifts The Shins above their peers. Their follow up album, Wincing the Night Away is even better, but that's another review...
