its definitely different. different sounding and a different vibe. Only a few songs with the trademark james mercer existentialist lyrics, which are a main reason why i love the band. oddly, he left off 2 songs, the ones you can get on itunes, which are the most explicitly existentialist lyrics. The last song is that james singing? the voice sounds nothing like his
Yeah it must be the lyrics. I believe that's him on the last song.
Not sure how much longer they're on but The Shins are streaming live from the Sweetlife Festival right now!

Bought it a few days ago.....I think I like it, even on the first listen. A few songs might need a bit to get into, but for the most part I'm enjoying it...
Man, I just really didn't dig the new stuff... Not even live... The band just isn't as good as it used to be... not to me... It was really missing the harmonies that really made Mercer's vocals very cool... The musicians are all very talented but it's not The Shins I grew up loving.

I thought they sounded better with the new line-up then the last time i saw them in '09 with the older line up :? Just, IMO though
