My Thoughts:
I think if the Beach Boys or early Beatles were to have first come out in 2001, this is what they would have sounded like. This album has always been popular with college kids but after Natalie Portman told Zach Braff that "the Shins will change your life", in Garden State they exploded on the college scene. I really like The Shins, but I feel like the quality of their albums have gone down with each one, at least in my opinion. But this album is excellent and just transports me to another time.
Reminds me of: i love making mix cds and Girl Inform Me and New Slang were on my first cds that i ever made. these songs always remind me of sitting in my basement at 2 AM on a work night feverishly searching for cool music and stumbling upon this little ditty of an album.
Random Fact:
The Past & Pending was played at Heath Ledger's funeral.
