Our Take

The Shins' iconic debut album, "Oh, Inverted World," has been given a 20th-anniversary remaster treatment, and boy, does it sound like a blast from the past! With every delicate strum of the guitar and whimsical melody, it's hard not to be transported back to the early 2000s, when indie rock ruled the airwaves and everyone wore skinny jeans.

Frontman James Mercer's angelic vocals soar over intricate instrumentals, creating a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere that is simply enchanting. Tracks like "New Slang" and "Caring is Creepy" still hold up as indie classics, with their infectious hooks and introspective lyrics that will make you want to dance and ponder the meaning of life at the same time.

The 20th-anniversary remaster brings a newfound clarity and depth to the album, allowing listeners to truly appreciate the nuance and craftsmanship of The Shins' songwriting. Each song sparkles with a renewed energy and vitality, making this reissue a must-have for any fan of the band or indie music in general.

So put on your vintage band t-shirt, grab a PBR, and let the shimmering sounds of "Oh, Inverted World" wash over you like a warm, nostalgic hug. The Shins may have been pioneers of the indie rock scene, but with this remaster, they continue to prove why they are still relevant and beloved after all these years. Cheers to another 20 years of spinning this timeless classic. Cheers!
