I had to listen to this album a couple of times before i could have a realistic opinion on it. By the time i was used to the songs, i could listen to them over and over again. Compared to the other stuff i listen to this is pretty easy going. The songs are just overall great. I can seriously belt it out in the car listening to this. The songs are so wholesome that it feels like a 4 year old kid could listen to it AND enjoy it, but it also has a really indie/alternative style to it. go buy it!!!
The Shins are a great band. I have listened to a few songs before Wincing The Night Away...and I have to say this album is awesome. It took a few listens to start to really like it, but it's AMAZING.
