Today we present the next installment in a series that brings you classic indie rock albums at hugely discounted prices. Every week, Amazon.com is letting us select one album from its MP3 store to go on super sale (up to 75% off normal prices). Hopefully you'll be able to add these must-own LPs to your library without breaking your budget. Today's deal: The Shins' Oh, Inverted World.When the Shins debuted with Oh, Inverted World in 2001, the first thing that seemed to draw a number of folks to the Albuquerque-born band was the clever Lance Bangs-directed video for "New Slang," which payed homage to the Replacements, Squirrel Bait, Slint, Hüsker Dü, the MInutemen, and others, in a way that you likely got on first glance with a smile. If you dug deeper than that track, the 11 songs on the 33-minute collection added up to a shimmering, somehow sad or dusky pop whole. This was before Garden State, though when Natalie Portman told Zach Braff, "You gotta hear this one song -- it'll change your life," she should have mentioned there were about 10 others.
