Anybody a fan of this band?  i think they create some of the most clever, playful and awe-inspiring songs in modern pop music.  There lyrics are uncomparable, a truly great band

I love Oh, Inverted World and Chutes Too Narrow, but Wincing the Night Away didn't do a thing for me.

Inverted World and Chutes are amazing albums. Haven't listened to Wincing yet but I know the song Phantom Limb and love it. The video for the song is great, too! But seriously....The Past and Pending is one of the greatest songs ever recorded!

...I like them a lot too, but in doses, I cant just listen to them non stop....if anyone does ever get the chance to see them be prepared for the hord of girls that will be there talking and yelling for James Mercer the entire time....
listen to vinyl

I think Wincing is equal to the others. It takes time to get it but once it clicks the its magic is revealed.

I like Wincing the Night Away just as much as their other albums. It's a little more experimental, but the singles are as good as any of Mercer's best.

Wincing is good headphone music.
