Frases memorables de la película Garden State (2004):
“Sam: Tienes que escuchar esta canción, juro que cambiará tu vida”

Escuchas “New Slang”….. y luego BOOM, las ventas del álbum de The Shins aumentan y cambian totalmente el status de pequeña banda indie de culto, todo gracias a Natalie Portman y Zach Braff.

Ahora, 3 años desde su anterior álbum, la banda regresa con su tercera producción. Se que dije cuando se filtró el disco que era maaalo, pero no lo es (yo sólo estaba molesto por el cierre del blog). Sin embargo, Wincing The Night Away no es la gran sensación que todos creíamos que sería, pero al menos se pone mejor con cada escucha.

Canciones como Australia, Girl Sailor y el primer single Phantom Limb confirman el por qué una banda como The Shins sigue gustando… En este disco suenan maduros pero si has seguido a la banda ya tu sabes con lo que te vas a encontrar y eso es lo que la mantiene viva y especial.

Que si el disco cambiará tu vida? Definitivamente… NO. Pero es un buen álbum. Mantiene el sonido característico de la banda, las canciones pop infecciosas y los frescos momentos que te dejan hasta que termina un determinado single.

The Shins – Phantom Limb

Canciones Recomendadas:
Australia
Phantom Limb (descarga desde la página oficial de SubPop Records)
Sleeping Lessons
Girl Sailor

Memorable Quotes from Garden State (2004):
“Sam: You gotta hear this one song, it’ll change your life I swear”

You hear “New Slang”….. and then BOOM, the sales of The Shins album went up and they changed their status of little cult indie band, thanks to Natalie Portman and Zach Braff.

Now, three years since the last record, the band comes with its third production. I know I said when the album leaked that it was a bad one… but no, it is not, I was mad for the close of my blog (but I learnt the lesson)…
It’s not the great sensation everybody was assuming it would be but it gets better with every listen.

Songs like Australia, Girl Sailor and the first single Phantom Limb just confirm why you still like The Shins… they sound like they have grown up but you know what you’re going to listen when you catch one of their albums and that’s the great thing.

Will it change your life now? Definitely NO. But it’s a good album. It maintains the trademarked sound of the band, the infectious songs and the fresh moments for a shiny day until the track ends.
