Shields is a solid album. But that's all that it is, solid. It's nothing that is mind-blowingly good, but it doesn't have a bad point on the record. That said, you're spot on that parts are better than others. I've found it gets a little better after a couple of listens.

The New Pornographers are a really good band, but I prefer Bejar's other band, Destroyer.

Destroyer is awesome, thanks for the link. What a distinctive voice. I also dig Neko Case, the New Pornographers are one of those "super groups" that never gets mentioned in the "super-group" conversation.
