How has nobody mentioned the fact that James Mercer's vocal performance is flawless?

@gaylel6071 8 лет назад

+Andrew Theis -Just perfect vocals, everything.

@rylinn4756 8 лет назад

i feel like he's so much better in Broken bells because the guitar parts he plays are more relaxed, where as i feel like in some shin performances it takes away from his vocals because he's doing both

@siegurd2087 8 лет назад

James Mercer is sure doing an insane job but the backing vocals are doing just as good in my opinion, it emphasyze James' talent just right and make the vocals part just perfect..

@Tsahkratis 8 лет назад

Love how we can just play paper, rock, scissors at each song change to see who gets to play drums, bass and keyboards.

@chrisbrandt2282 4 года назад

Just a joy to hear James go high. It seems like he saves his high notes for big moments.

@nickparsons337 5 лет назад

Absolutely agree. I remember the first time I heard The Shins while watching Garden State; and just loved it. As.themovie was over I IMMEDIATELY Googled the sound track because I just had to know more about the band.

@econtadini 6 лет назад

I need broken bells Number 3. they are the single best music project. Brian and james music personalities are amazing on their own, but they go so well together, the sinergy powerful .

@sinistergrey3 9 лет назад

wow, I think they sound even better live than on the album. This less "produced" sound is really good (the album is good too, but IMO it's better in this "live" sound situation. Not even a need for overdubbing of anything, it just sounds fantastic).

@TheSaladino97 3 года назад

You're so right!

@kindking8009 3 года назад

Agreed, but I didn't think the mix on the album was very good. May be why it sounds better live.

@henrycodm896 3 года назад

They're so musically proficient this comment makes total sense.

@Eli_the_baker 2 года назад

@@kindking8009 Also take into account that KEXP is notorious for their unbelievably good audio engineers

@krikeymate 8 лет назад

This is pretty amazing. Brian Burton is a genius and he adds a lot of enhancement to the recordings in studio. It's really impressive that they can recreate their sound live. Their songs are well written and they are both major talents. What a band.

I admire Broken Bells more & more each time I listen to them. This is a beautiful performance. So unpretentious & economical, and yet masterful with fully formed beautiful songs played & sung perfectly.

@jeffreylower9469 8 лет назад

James Mercer and Andrew Bird should do an album together of just them whistling songs.

@avasmonsters 6 лет назад

i was just thinking there should be a benefit concert of great whistlers where they all engage in whistle-offs, so there would be james mercer and andrew bird and nick urata from devotchka all whistling furiously at each other

@bellerophon30 9 лет назад

For some reason I can't get into The Shins, nor has Gnarls Barkley (other than Crazy) ever done it for me.....but Broken Bells is fan-bloody-tastic, a perfect melding of James' and Brian's talents. I love both their albums, and hope for many more.

@jamesfacesthemusic 9 лет назад

bellerophon30 I agree. Haven't been able to get into the Shins, so far. I do like Gnarls Barkley, but Broken Bells is on a completely different plane, as far as I'm concerned. Absolutely love this band.

@enjoybrad81 9 лет назад

jsramsey26 Man, I love all three, but wincing the night away is a classic album, IMO.

@jamesfacesthemusic 9 лет назад

Boo Radley To be fair, I probably haven't given the Shins enough of a chance. I'll keep listening.

@JDESTR0Y 8 лет назад

+bellerophon30 really eh? Shins got a pretty big selection, throw on wincing the night away, and drift off to sleep tonight. its fairly diverse, I wasn't big on them till I listened to that album through.
