While it lacks A great addition to The Shins' discography, and easily the best album to have been released this year (as of so far at least). While it lacks some of the poignant lows of previous albums, the soaring highs carry the album far above many previous ventures of Mercer's.

Although at times Port of Morrow can sound quite crisp and clean in comparison to the dark instrumentation of Wincing the Night Away or the lo-fi element of Oh, Inverted World, it still manages to hold its own, proving once again the prowess of James Mercer's abilities. Overall, I love this album to death, and while it does threaten to fizzle out towards the end, it's incredibly enjoyable and a great listen. I really think that more reviews need to be written after the album has been out for several months or even years.

I thought the album pleasant but unremarkable when I first heard it and would probably have ranked it a 6. I loved Simple Song - so did pretty much everyone else as far as I can tell.

But after many, many listens I love the album more and more as a whole. (I note that my 'album' includes 'Pariah King' which is very good and should in my view have been officially on the album as the last track). 'September,' 'For a Fool' and 'Port of MOrrow' are all wonderfully melodic and swirling and I defy anyone to not sooner or later attempt to sing along with Mercer's falsetto on the tracks. They are also all tracks that I found fairly boring or nondescript on the first run through. For me the album is a sleeper hit that grows with repeated listening much like Crowded House's Woodface. I'd have to disagree with j30.I found it an album I looked forward to for months and found hugely disappointing.

Still gets regular plays after years of listening, but this? I've made myself listen to this on and off for about 2 weeks, hoping for something, but its just fairly insipid in the main. That would be reasonable, but there are a number of songs which make me want to turn it off immediately. This is mainly due to lyrics (e.g. The first use of the term 'ducks in a row' outside of a business meeting full of chubby guys in chinos, or that stuff about dishwater disguised as lemonade) but there are also some musical moments where they seem to be striving for some kind of MOR-type appeal (maybe those chubby guys at the meeting? 'Hey Chet, great slides, have you heard of the Shins, they're this new band.' There are a few decent tunes, Simple Song stands out but I'm already getting a little sick of it.

The chorus of this song cries ' I will never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that Cross.' This album will release something in you if you move out from being a passive worshipper to an active one. Love is passion. If you truly think about this chorus, none of us really know the price Jesus paid for you and me in order to sing that chorus -- in order for us to nail our sins upon the cross.

One review I read described it as music made especially for people in their late 30s who still want to feel a bit cool. The reviewer meant it as a good thing, and yeah I'd fall into that category but that statement kind of sums up how it sounds to me.
