keep hearing people go on and on about this band probably some faggy pitchfork band that doesn't live up to hype.

It's not that bad. =P
A little tame but I dig it. Bait and Switch sounds like an Avi Buffalo song.

Far more laid back than I am used to from them but far better than the review had led me to believe.

good is perfectly acceptable I just thought it far more enjoyable than that. for me good can be an album you hate but you can't deny a bands quality and some decent production.

yeah we have different outlooks on ratings. if i hated an album it would probably be in the 2 range regardless of the production. regardless, i do enjoy this album

First Shins album I've listened to, which is really weird, but I think the album is fantastic. My only familiarity with Mercer is from Broken Bells, which I thought was great as well.



Since I can't compare this to previous Shins albums, I'll compare it to Broken Bells. Broken Bells has the better individual songs, The High Road and Ghost Inside being obvious examples, but overall this is a much better listen in my opinion. Every song is great on PoM, but Broken Bells had some real boring songs.



Favorite song on this is Bait and Switch, and after my first listen I'd put it at a 4, maybe a 4.5.
