Oh Inverted World

Search: One By One All Day
by: Shins

Release Date August 16, 2004
The Shins make great pop music. All of the songs on this album have a bright, catchy appeal. They are laid back but refreshingly original. My particular stand-out tracks are Caring is Creepy, Know Yr Onion!, New Slang, Girl on the Wing and Pressed in a Book. The only one I skip is the befuddling Your Algebra.

As well as the quality music, James Mercer's lyrics are a delight in themselves. Lines like 'a luscious mix of words and tricks' or 'no icicles stuck in my hide' show what an inventive lyricist he is. A pity you cannot always discern the words in the songs, but the CD jacket has them printed.

Here's to the Heroes

Search: One By One All Day
by: Ten Tenors

Release Date September 12, 2006
It is very rare that I would give an album a bad rating, but I can tell you that buying this album as a Barry fan is a BIG mistake. I am not sure what John was thinking when teaming up with these guys. His time could have been better spent composing something new for us to enjoy. Basically, steer clear of this album.
