Go To

1* CreepyAwesome: The Suited Gentlemen in "The Rifle's Spiral" music video. A trio of uncanny magicians tracking down the rabbit and the heroine.
2* LesYay: According to James Mercer, "Phantom Limb" is about a young lesbian couple dealing with the prejudices of the small town they live in.
3* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: See [[Awesome/TheShins here]].
4* MorePopularSpinoff: They were originally a side-project of Flake Music, a band who released a single studio album and weren't very well-known outside of their hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Most of the same musicians played on both Flake Music's ''When You Land Here, It's Time To Return'' and The Shins' ''Oh, Inverted World'', and Flake Music had a song called "The Shins".
5* NeverLiveItDown: They will forever be associated with that one scene in ''Film/GardenState''.
6* TearJerker: See [[TearJerker/TheShins here]].
7* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: "So Says I" contains thinly-veiled metaphors for communism and capitalism (and points out the flaws of each).
8** Same goes for "No Way Down", a criticism of free trade and its impact on the manufacturing base in Western nations.
