The Shins - Oh, Inverted world

2x****
On this album of XRT fodder, most songs are pleasant 60's pop, major chord progressions minimally overdriven, starting with "Caring is Creepy". "One By One All Day"**** is a bit different with the triplet feel. Most songs sound virtually identical, except for "Girl On The Wing" with some extra synths, and "Your Algebra" with a bit of a graveyard sound. The acoustic closer "The Past Is Pending"**** is a stand-out.
