No.

Though, I didn't give two shits for them untill I saw them live. That changed everything.

i'm seeing them on monday; they're that good?

Sam and Mike · 04-26-2005, 11:37 AM

I enjoyed them incredibly each of the five times I've seen them. Of course, all five gigs were opening for Modest Mouse. But yes, I thought they were great.

They're really boring.

that's the case for me.
i wouldn't say that they're terrible.
it's just DEFINITELY not my thing.

it probably involves neurotransmittor substances, the structures of nervecelles in the brain, how myelinesed the axions are and more. i recommend that you read the book "biology" by campbelle and reece and then move on to more specialised books about neurophysiology.

"oh inverted world" unspeakably wonderful

chutes too narrow was one big yawn

I heard part of their song in the movie Garden State and it was scary.

yeah but what do they say in a sociopolitical context? songs about emotions have been done to death. i guess it's okay to listen to if you're a republican...

cowbite · 04-26-2005, 02:37 PM

Thursday night.

mpp · 04-26-2005, 03:11 PM

for the people who don't like them, what kind of music do you like? and, from those bands/people, which are your favorite albums/songs?

i'm just trying to figure out how The Shins don't appeal to virtually everyone...i mean, it's like CCR...if you don't like them, how can you enjoy rock music?

ryan patrick · 04-26-2005, 03:19 PM

Chutes Too Narrow sounds lifeless, like it was made by indie-pop robots. totally dull.

their first album is good.

daydreamer999 · 04-29-2005, 08:43 AM

whats CCR?

this is probably something really obvious but its late...

Netphorian Gadabout · 04-29-2005, 09:30 AM

I like certain songs by them (some even a whole, whole lot), but there are an equal number I find almost unlistenable. I haven't seen them live though.

cowbite · 04-29-2005, 09:57 AM

I saw them last night. They were fun. I actually enjoyed their opener, the Brunettes.

They should tour with Blonde Redhead.

Nothing/everything · 04-29-2005, 10:14 AM

their live show was pretty decent. but i haven't taken the effort to check out any album stuff yet.

Creedence Clearwater Revival.

ravenguy2000 · 04-29-2005, 02:28 PM

I could listen to New Slang every day of the rest of my life and not get tired of it, I think. I've pretty much listened to Oh Inverted World at least weekly since it was released.

yeah, i realised this in the shower this morning.

Oh, Inverted World is great. I listened to Chutes to Narrow a lot when I first bought it, but as soon as the newness wore off. . . I was going to try to catch them while in NYC but couldnt' get tickets for the weekend shows and then ended up working too late on Monday. I've heard they are pretty good live.
