Members Cirrus Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 I bloody love the Shins. Writing uplifting songs that don't sound contrived, self-conscious or thin on substance is probably the hardest thing to do, it's much easier make a depressed, angry or detached sounding song.

But maybe I need to hear some more I don't know really. It just sounds REALLY good to me for some reason. Like a perfect mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grueller Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 First off, thanks Travvy for sharing this. I'm astounded that most of the lyrics in this song are actually intelligible. That's always been a gripe I've had with The Shins, though I do like them a lot. Same goes for Thom Yorke. Both are great singers/lyricists. It's nice to see Mercer step up and show it. Really dislike the vibrato effect on his vocals, though, and the high-sung notes seem a bit extravagant. The album will have to grow on me, but I anticipate liking it every bit as much as their previous works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
