    I can only say The Shins have lost it. Their last good album was, Wincing the Night Away. There's been an odd good song here but it's mostly been riding on the coat tails of New Slang. Sad.

    I was excited to enjoy Heartworms in a new way, and was highly disappointed. Name for you (Flipped) and Cherry Hearts (Flipped) made a great transition to the flip-side, the rest, better left in the void between.

    The Worm's Heart is a curiously pointless release and coming so soon after the first version does it no favors at all.

    Oh, inverted world, you’re not as much as fun or as interesting as we hoped.

    It’s neither better nor worse than Heartworms--which itself was very much a mixed bag--but the pleasures come in different places.
