I honestly don’t know how, but every time I feel upset, if I listen to The Shins, I automatically feel good.

It’s amazing.

I am so impressed. Their new album is marvelous. I mean, Oh, Inverted World and Chutes Too Narrow were both incredible, but this time… I mean DAMN. Despite how wonderful the first two albums were, they were kind of skimpy… there wasn’t really a full sound to either of them. But Wincing the Night Away is completely… ahhhh. I don’t even know.

It’s impossible for me to pick a favorite of their albums, but this one is definitely, DEFINITELY one of my all-time favorites.
