i really feel like the few years its been since the shins were coating everything in site has been refreshing. these songs seem smarter, but are still catchy and appropriately saccharine. i am super stoked to have them back.
why is James Mercer even calling this band the Shins? the other dudes are gone (fired), and the music bears little resemblance to the sound that fans originally flocked to. Change your direction, fine, but at least make it worth our while. Go back to the acoustic, man, the electric doesn't suit you.
