What a let down so far this year.
The new Shins is uninspiring. The new Clap your hands is plain boring. The new Bloc Party is plain awful. The new Arcade Fire has re-released songs from their debut album on it and for the most part, severely lacks the passion of their earlier album.
I haven't heard the new Modest Mouse or Bright Eyes yet. Hopefully those will buck the trend but otherwise, I would advise to pass on all the albums above. Sad really.
