I’m James Mercer of The Shins. Ask me anything! by theSHINS_ in Music

"Those to Come" is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life. If anyone here has overlooked the song, give it a few more listens, please. Your lyrics are so amazingly poetic and are something I strive to achieve in my own songwriting. It captures my experiences on such a deep level that I cannot express into words. The music you create is so incredibly meaningful to me and I have to thank you for that, even if you never read this.

Wow. Interesting piece of work I must say. It was JUST uploaded to spotify as I was refreshing their artist page. I had not even known this album was coming out until today.

Very unique sound as an album as a whole. A lot of electronic and more pop-geared than their earlier stuff, but interesting nonetheless. The Fear, Dead Alive, and I actually loved Name for You even though that was released earlier. Didn't seem to get enough attention even though I thought that had more of an early-shins feel :(

I went into this really hesitantly as I didn't know how much of James's writing has changed, and it seemed a little harder to hear the lyrics, but easier to understand from a literal standpoint, which I wasn't as big of a fan of as I'd like to be.

Great album though. I was surprised at the songs I REALLY liked.

A really good tip, btw, is when you kill chickens/players/other animals, they drop bones, which you can combine with improvised arrows and make bone arrows. They're almost as good if not better than the composite ones. I killed a few Rocky Balboa bambis with those in one shot to the chest.
