"You are probably on this page because you like the Shins and the Phantom Limb single will definitely not disappoint you. It is an obvious but brilliant progression in songwriting and production. What I want to know is who OK'd the "editorial review" by Mike McGonigal of the 'Wincing the Night Away' album? He's a grade A douche bag, please take him off the site."

Great Track!

"The Shins seem to accentuate and lift my mood to a level not quite

comprehensible in mere words. PHANTOM LIMBS is one of the best songs on WINCING THE NIGHT AWAY, which I think is the best Shins record. However, the best song on their third disc is called "A Comet Appears" This is a great song to tap your foot to. It has an ethereal everlasting melody that will impress you. However, I suggest you wait for the cd instead of buying one single track with some 2 tracks you don't want.



Beautiful."

Best pop song in.. well, as long as I can remember

"Yes, I feel compelled to say it. Call it hyperbole but this song is brilliant. To say they merely tried to emulate the sound of The Jesus and Mary Chain with this song is the equivalent of Kurt Cobain saying 'I just wanted to write a Pixies song!' of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"; they perfected the style. Listen to "Darklands" and you'll hear something of a similarity."
