"A Ghost is Born" (Wilco), "Absolution" (Muse), or "Oh, Inverted World" ..

[St. Jarvitude]

(The Shins)?

Quick, I need to make a quick run out to buy one of these albums for myself. I don't have any other Wilco or Muse albums, but I do have "Chutes too Narrow" by The Shins. While I really enjoyed it, I'm looking for a little more mellow sound this time around, but at least with Oh, Inverted World I'm almost guaranteed to like it a lot.

Wilco's sound is pretty cool from the little clips I've heard of AGiB, but I've also heard Muse is awesome (especially for a little Radiohead fanboy such as myself).

I need answers... and fast! :o

I'm a little Radiohead fanboy myself and take it from me Muse blows.

2. Go with the Shins.

If you like "Chutes..." and want something mellower... you're on the right track with Oh, Inverted World.

I like Wilco too, but I've only heard the "YHF" album. My friend said the newer one is good, but not great like "YHF."

3. Just heard some samples from YHF... considering that one now

Arr... :(

[Beware the Beast Man]

5. YHF is better than Ghost

I just thought Ghost was too flat.

4. MUSE MUSE MUSE

My god, MUSE!!!

Such an incredible band and such an incredible album.

6. NONE OF THOSE

I think you should get "Rejoicing In the Hands of the Golden Empress" (Devendra Banhart)

But, eh...why listen to me? what do I know

Edit: If you must, go with "Oh, Inverted World"

7. If you like Wilco

and want something a little mellow I would check out 'Virginia Creeper' from Grant Lee Phillips.
