This is one of the best modern pop albums I have heard in months. I first heard the track New Slang in Zach Braff's brilliant directoral debut Garden State, and checked out this, The Shins' debut album on that recommendation. I was not disappointed. Mixing the 'sunshine pop' sound with alternative rock, this sound like the Beach Boys covering Sgt. Pepper in the early '90s. One of the best CDs I have ever heard, I don't think there is a weak track on it.
