20th Anniversary Remaster - Limited edition Light Blue White Marbled vinyl with Extra-Wide Die-Cut Sleeve with Custom Dust sleeve and 20-Page Booklet

The Shins' first full-length is a definitive indie rock album of the 2000s not just because of its thoughtful, tuneful songs, but also because of the vivid portrait it painted of indie culture. Oh, Inverted World is the sound of realizing there's more to life than being a smart-aleck - but also not being ready to open up completely. Caring might be creepy, but it's hard to avoid; Oh, Inverted Worldchronicles this post-ironic vulnerability, wrapping it in jangly guitar pop that echoes the Kinks, Zombies, and Beach Boys. All of Oh, Inverted World's songs hang together in an immensely satisfying way. Oh, Inverted World is so full of ideas and emotions, and so fully realized, that it's hard to believe it's just 33 minutes long. Whether or not the album lives up to the breathless \It'll change your life!\" claims made about it in Garden State
