Album Notes
The Shins: James Mercer (vocals, various instruments, programming); Dave Hernandez (guitar); Marty Crandall (organ, synthesizer, bass guitar, percussion); Jesse Sandoval (drums).
Recording information: Supernatural Sound, Portland, Oregon.
With their music referred to as "life-changing" in the popular 2004 film GARDEN STATE, the Shins, already a revered indie-rock band, recorded their third Sub Pop studio album under the weight of high expectations. Finally, in early '07, the group emerged with the strikingly ambitious and accomplished WINCING THE NIGHT AWAY.
On the opening "Sleeping Lessons," woozy keyboard lines and the wavering vocals of frontman James Mercer immediately announce WINCING as a departure, but slowly the drifting atmospherics give way to a guitar-driven rave-up. Much of the record echoes this more expansive sound, with the shimmering "Phantom Limb" hitting a cavernous crescendo, and the dreamy, synth-laden "Red Rabbits" bordering on ambient territory. Of course, the Shins haven't forsaken their knack for pop-perfect tunes, as best evinced by the exuberant "Australia," proving that they can temper newfound experimentalism with the quirky, easy-going charm that garnered them attention in the first place.

Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- There are twists, but no clutter, just a gentle lyricism leaving every song lie from the inside. WINCING THE NIGHT AWAY is, on its own quiet terms, a little landmark.
Mojo

Ranked #08 in Q's The 50 Best Albums Of 2007.
Q

[T]he bright points are plenty bright...
Alternative Press

4 stars out of 5 -- [E]verything is awash in shimmering production, harmonic flourishes and unexpected textures.
Uncut

4 stars out of 5 -- [S]uper-smart pop music the way they used to make it 20 years ago....The Shins deliver anthems to little people in troubled times. Life-changing, for sure.
Q

3.5 stars out of 5 -- [W]istful....WINCING is a purposefully low-impact affair. On the gorgeous finale, 'A Comet Appears,' Mercer picks at a nimble guitar line like it's 3 a.m....
Spin

3.5 stars out of 5 -- The melodies are very nearly on par with the curlicues and knockout drops of the band's breakthrough, and Mercer is still singing so lithe and refined you'd think Ray Charles had never existed.

    Great .. why did you pick this one...

    You want a review... you'll get it... BIGTIME!!!!!!

    I never received the CD. I wasted so much time getting bounced around on your damn worthleSs e-mail complaint "system?"... that i resorted to trying to get my money Back by making phone calls using the #s you list.

    WHAT A MISTAKE..!!!!!!!!!

    After a couple of calls I was told to go waste more time doing damn e-mails...

    no!!!!!!!

    My time is more valuable.. it isn't worth it.

    WHY DID YOU ALLOW THIS DEADBEAT TO KEEP STIFFING PEOPLE.. HE HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES ON E-BAY!!!!!!!

    I have stopped using E-BAY because of this bad experience.

    Steve
