OK, maybe I'll get tired of them soon or something, but Saint Simon is growing by the minute!

Now now now! Are you on MSN atm?

[Istya]

I love their harmonies. Chute's Too Narrow is a delightful latest effort.

[Don't Feed The Ducks]

New NME hype?

maybe, but that doesnt make them less gooooood

[ok_computer]

[Krasnojarsk]

[Decades]

Caring Is Creepy is so lovely. They are so lovely. I should buy the album..

[Neil]

Caring Is Creepy is so lovely. They are so lovely. I should buy the album..

What I was about to post would be an echo for that, Caring Is Creepy won me over too..

[Tangerine]

Caring is Creepy is an awesome awesome song. Heard it first from the Garden State soundtrack but don't really like their other tracks. They're a bit too...airy...for me?

[Hoppipolla]

I've only heard chutes too narrow, and i only downloaded it because I fell in love with Kissing the Lipless.

[aMUSEd Sarah*]

anyone out here like The Shins? they're on the soundtrack of the movie, garden state? their songs are awesome and the vocals are awesome. i think they kind of song like muse - just the vocals - kind of angelic? i dunno if thats the right word.

"new slang" is their best song i think. i also like "girl inform me" and "caring is creepy".

[Hoppipolla]

Search! (http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=2245&highlight=Shins)

[captain subtext]

hell yes!!!

I just saw them live for the first time last night! they are so darn cool it's not funny. i just love their cute (and sometimes dark-ish) lyrics...and they have the most cute! sound going around. Delightful.....

Ive only got a burnt copy ofchutes too narrow, so i am not familiar with the names of the songs (i will invest in a copy soon tho) - i own a copy of Oh, Inverted World - and my fave songs of there would be Know Your Onion!, Weird Divide, Girl Inform Me, Caring Is Creepy....I love it in Know Your Onion - Where it goes:

.....founnd my favourite record, lying in wait at the bermingham mall...the songs that i heard, the occassional book, were the only fun i ever took....

CTN - I think has just taken over the title of my fave shins album....its classy, classy effort from the shins.

[Sarah]

I need to buy this album. Everything I have heard has been amazing.

[christoph]

both albums are amazing.

doesn't that guy from Scrubs, who just made his first film absolutely love The Shins, and featured most of their songs on his film Garden State?

[AdVAn]

the shins are an awsome band, i didnt really like the first album but chutes is a beautiful album, one of my all time favs

[Istya]

both albums are amazing.

doesn't that guy from Scrubs, who just made his first film absolutely love The Shins, and featured most of their songs on his film Garden State?

Yep, Zach Braff is a huge Shins fan. He wouldn't do a TV appearance here until he found out they were the musical guest. I think it's great that he put two of their songs on the Garden State soundtrack because a lot more people have heard them now.

[kiernana]

bumpety bump...

i've loved the shins for a awhile, but i finally saw garden state and must say i love the songs even more now...

new slang is just beautiful. this band is def a must for fans of mercury rev, flaming lips and air. i think they encorporate several of those band's traits, yet sound different. me likey.

[LittleMUSEalieN]

i dont know a lot of the shins, but i LOVE new slang, and kissing the lipless ^^!

[Invisible Ink]

The only songs of theirs i've heard are on the Garden State soundtrack. I like what i've heard, but I can't decided whether I should get their latest album.

[Istya]

Well if you know you like those two songs, then you might be best off getting their first album (Oh, Inverted World) because it has both of them on it. Then, if really like that, you can get Chute's Too Narrow. Both albums are class so I can't really reccommend one over the other.

[BlackoutMatt]

I'm completely a-ddicted to 'When I Goosestep'...it's the organ....and his voice...the melodies...but mainly the organ...

[expanding_universe]

I think Kissing the Lipless is the best song to wake up to.

*clap clap clap clap clap* clap WOO!

[ducksquackmuse]

My friend loves them, can't stand them myself

[Wowee Zowee]

I thought i'd drag out my albums mmmm.

[tjej]

The Rock says know your role.

[aidanon]

anyone going to see them at KOKO next week? I managed to get two tickets off wegottickets, apparently they're going for £100 a pair on ebay but I'll definitely be holding on to mine, can't wait to see them

[LittleMUSEalieN]

new slang babeh <3

[barefoot_girl]

I see this hasn't been posted on for a while so I decided to "bring it back".
The Shins is one of my favorite bands ever and their music makes me so happy. In a completely different way than Muse. I honestly think the world would be a very happy place if everyone walked around listening to the Shins. There's just something wonderful about them..
Currently obsessed with Caring is Creepy. But all of the songs are fantastic. Can't wait for new album coming out in January I think it is..

[Wowee Zowee]

new album is very nice indeed.

[destructiveaesthetic]

oh my god the new album is so fantastic I was expecting much worse but I love it I love it I love it

[barefoot_girl]

What? what?? new album? When did it come out?

[destructiveaesthetic]

it comes out next year man...it leaked though mmmm.

[Wowee Zowee]

only cool people download leaks.

[barefoot_girl]

where can I get leaks?

[ʘ]

where can I get leaks?

You can get one in you belly, if you stab it hard enough...

[barefoot_girl]

Oh so funny.

[christoph]

i'm not sure. i've scoured most the popular torrent sites and haven't found anything. something might pop up soon.

[christoph]

oh my gosh, i've got it. i'm uploading it to yousendit now, it's great quality.
:D

[barefoot_girl]

oh my gosh, i've got it. i'm uploading it to yousendit now, it's great quality.

Getting there...slooowly.. but I'm sure it's worth it :happy:

[christoph]

hope you like it! i think sea legs is my favourite song, and i think i'm going to be repeating this song for the next hours.

[barefoot_girl]

I can get past the first five songs, they're so great :D
I just keep starting over again.. Sleeping Lessons is such a great opener. I'm really really loving this album.. and I haven't even heard the whole thing yet.

[Sliver]

i bought a 7" copy of the single on monday, the labels were mixed up so i played it too fast at first:stunned:

[dwama]

Oooh I like The Shins :)

Chutes Too Narrow is a good album, I dug it out again recently and just keep listening to it.

[destructiveaesthetic]

oh man they're doing an instore and wristbands go on sale Monday morning...I have an exam at 10...I'm sure the bands will go off at 9...can I make it?

I'm attempting fate but I really wanna see them!

[RunninWild]

i love the new record. i just ordered it on vinyl. cant wait for it to come in and complete my shins vinyl collection. they are one of my favorite bands.

[Miss.World]

Hooray for The Shins!

[kuz]

new album is great :)

[4indie]

The Shins are being featured as mtvU’s house band. Check out the goodies:

[aidanon]

Anyone going to see them on Wednesday/Thursday at the Forum? I actually think I'm more excited about this gig than I was when I saw Muse, apparently their live shows have been incredible. I heard Jeremy Warmsley is supporting too so that's a pretty sweet bonus

[Bradass]

I love the shins.
The new album is pretty darned good to, my favourite song off it is Australia.
Yep.

[expanding_universe]

currently addicted to the RAC Mix of Sleeping Lessons. :D

&& they've just been announced for Splendour in the Grass. fab

[Magdalena]

I can't stop listening to Caring Is Creepy.
Or Oh, Inverted World in general. <3

[progmetalfan]

I can't stop listening to Caring Is Creepy.


Ditto, along with Phantom Limb and Turn a Square.

I had bought Wincing the Night Away when it came out originally, because I had heard Phantom Limb on the radio and it temporarily broke my brain, but for some reason I never really listened to their stuff besides that song. Big mistake. Awesome, awesome, AWESOME pop and James Mercer's singing is amazing.

partial thanks to no one in particular for pointing me in their direction, again... ;)

[Martin]

I love the shins.

Yep.

Indeed! I think that's my favourite track too, or maybe Turn on me.

The Shins are one of my favouritist bands even though they only have 3 albums afaik. They're 3 top quality albums though without a duff track to me.

Even if they are a bit beach boys perhaps.

[Kylee]

shiiiiiiins
:yesey:

Great pop :happy:

[Jeylo]

I want a new Album - PLEASE!!

(But for now we have Danger mouse and James Mercer with Broken Bells - I love "The High Road")

[The Final Track]

The Shins just announced their live return in August (with Muse and Arcade Fire amongst others). A new album is apparently in the works...
