Tried out this one today, my first Shins album. For some reason I'm turned off by the guitar/vocal style on a lot of these songs... I can't really explain it, it's just a sound I've heard before and it doesn't excite me. The songs are probably good, I just need to get past my dumb prejudice. That said, an instant standout was "Red Rabbits." I looove that melody the synth is playing in the background the whole time.

Always. Terrible articulation (including one or two cringeworthy attempts at snark) coupled with useless, self-important threads (I believe I made one for a shitty Smile mix I'd made about a week into joining the board) are more or less the hallmarks of my early posts. I also occasionally come across one of my old 'Rank the Tracks' lists and get a bit staggered at how much my opinions have changed. And I'd also like to apologize for the arguments, Rei. Bad times.

Attempted a decidedly unadventurous single-disc compilation
1. Love & Mercy '88 2. Lay Down Burden (Live at the Roxy) 3. I'm Feeling Sad 4. Good Kind of Love 5. Nothing but Love 6. Don't Worry 7. Message Man 8. Proud Mary 9. Someone to Love 10. Being with the One You Love 11. Sail Away (OCA) 12. The Like in I Love You 13. This Isn't Love (piano demo) 14. Melt Away 15. Live Let Live 16. One Kind of Love 17. What Love Can Do 18. Meet Me in My Dreams Tonight 19. Good Vibrations (BWPS) 20. Midnight's Another Day 21. Southern California
There was about 5 minutes of space left and I couldn't decide whether to throw in How Could We Still Be Dancin' or just the "whoa-hey-yey" part of Rio Grande.

got that right. Thanks for posting this! Sounds sort of "dark and mysterious" for the Shins, but I like it. --- Also, I'm fairly new to Animal Collective, although I really like the song FloriDada. How are people feeling about that song/new album? How did you feel about Port of Morrow? It's not an album either my friends or I are a fan of. I really like "Floridada," although I'm less enthused by "Lying in the Grass." It just sounds like Panda Bear's recent solo work. I was disappointed by "Lying in the Grass" but it's grown on me a bit. Like much of the new Panda Bear album its charms are subtle, so I think (hope) it'll just turn out to have been an oddball choice for a single. But "Floridada" is great.
