5.0 out of 5 stars Something to tide you over, September 23, 2003
By 
This review is from: So Says I (Audio CD)
If you are like me, "Oh, Inverted World" has been in our near your cd player since it came out. For those of us who can't quite wait till "Chutes To Narrow" comes out, this is a interesting taste. "So Says I" is a different direction for the band, more rock (in the vein of Olivia Tremor Control) and while Mercers lyrics still have an obtuse melancholy that I love, the content leans much more toward the political than emotional. "Mild Child," which is not going to be on the next album, is similar to songs like "Your Algebra" and "Weird Divide" with a interesting sound collage thing going on at the end. WARNING: There is a door knocking sound on "Mild Child" that sounds so realistic that I checked my door 3 times before I realized it was in the song (kind of makes you feel you are 60.) Lastly, "Gone for Good" is an alternate version of a song on the upcoming album that was put out on their website (with video!) and I love it, much like "Pressed in a Book." It is only 4 dollars and more than worth it IMHO. Can't wait for the album.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: So Says I (Audio CD)
Bands grow on you, and that exactly what has happened wit the Shins. I 1st started listening to them when i heared one of there songs on the "Scrubs" Cd. They are now my favorite band. Chutes to narrow is a great cd, that has a little more of an electronic feel then Inverted World. It is possibly the best single i have ever had. I cant wait for the album.

This review is from: So Says I (Audio CD)
If you are a true fan, then this CD is worth the money just for the second track "Mild Child". Of course, if you live in Japan you probobly got this as a bonus release. If you are like myself, you like to collect the full recordings of an artist to fully understand their work; this single is no exception. The Shins have only two albums out at the time of writing, and the third is on its way so if you are antsy as well pick up this single and the few others floating around and love the anti-album tracks as an extension of their creative genius. Whew, just buy it!
