    Anyone like them?
    Well if you're a fan of The Shins, you will!

    I love their first single. Think I need to have a few more listens to the rest of the album to get into it

    Yeh I have to admit, first listen it didn't really do much for me...but it's a grower. If you like the Shins I can highly recommend Frightened Rabbit - a brilliant Scottish band!

    FR's first album is very good indeed but their recent singles are the exact opposite. Terrible, i have little optimism for thier next album. The rawness and freshness in their first seems long forgotten.

    I'd disagree to an extent, but I get where you're coming from (though it depends if you count The Greys as their first album) - still, I've heard the new album in full and the quality of the new songs shines through (Skip the Youth and The Wrestle are particular highlights), though I agree it lacks the rawness of the last albums. See them live and you forget about all that anyway!

    I want to live in a world where bells aren't broken. And music is better. They aren't the worst though. I like hearing new music!

    I've seen them live three times, they put on a decent show, as i said before i think the new songs are pretty terrible imo.

    Must saying I'm loving the 2 songs they're released - pre-ordered their album on iTunes... that's a first!
