Alabama Pollard Shakes Robert's Shins

Internet record reviews.  I listen to the album streaming one time through then give my first impression.  Oh yeah...I also use a random rating scale.  I know...real innovative. 1 chocolate Easter bunny- Keep looking around the house.  There has to be more! 2 chocolate Easter bunnies- Okay but this won't last the night. 3 chocolate Easter bunnies- Good stuff.  Worth the time invested. 4 chocolate Easter bunnies- This is so good you might get sick of it! 5 chocolate Easter bunnies- The best!  Should last till Halloween! The Shins "Port of Morrow" 1.75 chocolate Easter bunnies.  Weak showing. I hate, Hate, HATE when a single comes out and it shows so much promise for the album.  It rocks.  It's catchy.  It's really good.  Then it ends up being the best thing by far on a weak album.  Case in point is "Port of Morrow" by the Shins.  I'm not a huge fan of the Shins but I like some of their tunes.  This album shows that the Shins are pretty good
