...one of the most hilarious things I've seen on this board.
I feel like there needs to be a picture of Pea, Souly and I all looking like NWA with Jheri Curls.

Correct. You better get up on that shit. You're going to be within a mecca of gangsta rap come Sunday of Coachella. Recognize.

It's not a challenge just a secret wish. Nothing urgent.

Back on track. Port of Morrow just received Pitchfork's standard 8.4 BNM rating. Thrilling.

Not really feeling the new album yet, it kinda puts me to sleep. There are a couple good tracks at least, I like Fall Of '82.

My first listen of Port of Morrow shall commence in 3....2.....1......
(God I love my work schedule. I work 10 hour days Tuesday through Friday and get Sat-Mon off every week. Monday is the perfect day to recover from the weekend and listen to music all day.)

Pitchfork loved September and I think it's the weakest on the album.

It isn't my favorite, but I'm not sure if it's the weakest on the album. It's Only Life and No Way Down are the standouts for me so far.

I finished the album and I think that it is decent. It's not horrible. I will need to listen a couple more times before I can write a better opinion but I think I will enjoy this one.

I have never really been fond of The Shins in the past, but I really enjoyed Port of Morrow. It was an enjoyable listen and much less sleep inducing than their previous albums.

I wouldn't be surprised if you are picturing me peeling a carrot with a staple gun. |

Never liked the Shins and this album didn't change my mind.
My festival buddy who is going to the three festivals with me is obsessed with the Shins so I'm sure I'll check them out at some point.

I'll be seeing the Shins, but I think Port of Morrow is lackluster. In general, I've always thought of the Shins as being consistently above average but not great.
