In my Shins review for Stylus, I quoted a whole lot of lyrics. And at the time, due to cash constraints etc., I hadn’t actually bought the record, I had downloaded it. I knew, just , that I was going to get at least one wrong. So I listened to the songs over and over (not exactly a chore), and double checked everything.

Now that I’ve bought Chutes Too Narrow (which my record store initially had written down as ‘Shoots To Narrow’), I of course noticed a mistake. I’d meant to write down “Your raving hard in your criminal lies”, although somehow I missed the ‘hard’ in the actual review. Well, the line is “Your ailing heart and your criminal lies”. Also, “Something inside me went away” has a “bad” in there before “inside”, changing the line entirely.

Everything else about the review is right, although I probably should have given it a 9.5 instead of a 9.
