Oh, Inverted World is the debut studio album by American indie rock band The Shins, released on June 19, 2001, to critical acclaim.

The song garnered substantial critical acclaim to the point where label Sub Pop gave the Shins a record deal.

[3] Some of the songs on the album existed in an embryonic form back when front man James Mercer was a member of another older band named Flake Music.

The 13-part sci-fi web series was a story of four twentysomethings returning home from college to find that the Moon is falling into the Earth.

[19] The original mastered audio files for both this album as well as its follow-up Chutes Too Narrow, which were stored on an HP Pavilion in Mercer's home, were stolen in 2003.

The reissue was remastered by Bob Ludwig, with The Shins' James Mercer serving as an assistant,[20] and features new artwork, booklet and packaging.
