The lyrics are just, well, bliss. They flow within each track and onto the next. And the sound of the album is just as wonderfull. This is one of few albums that can be but into your changer and be let to do what it will to your ears as at it spins your mind into a whirlwind of wonder. The whole disc is great. Sometimes I listen to it while I fall asleep. And yet other times I'm blasting tracks while speeding in my car. I purchased this album unknowing that it would become one of my top five album picks of all time. A lyrical masterpiece.

the "So Says I" EP and the recently released "Fighting In a Sack" EP that is strangely not yet available here on Amazon.com. The "Know Your Onion" EP is excellent, especially after you listen to "Oh, Inverted World" or "Chutes Too Narrow" and feel like you really didn't want the music to end. All of the Shins EP's provide interesting B-sides and live recordings and you can't beat the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best songs I've ever heard..., June 29, 2004

The Shins are a good band, and all their songs are fine. But track four of this single, Sphagnum Esplenade, is one of the trippiest, warped songs I've ever heard in my life. It's a crazy song and one of the few songs I tell everyone to listen to.
