I finally got the new Band of Horses debut in the mail (mighty cheap from Insound.com, I might add). All the reviews claim them to be the Shins meets My Morning Jacket, which is pretty much exactly right. I'd say 40% Shins (mostly in the vocals), 60% My Morning Jacket (the guitars and the general sound). More listening needs to be had of course, but on first listen I'd say it's pretty good.

I like about 90% of My Morning Jacket, but only about 20% of The Shins, so that means I would like...hang on...62% of Band of Horses?

While I'm looking forward to checking out the cd, I have to say that "Band of Horses" is like the WORSE BAND NAME EVER!!!

I think I'd like to change my allocations to 70 percent MMJ, 30% the Shins.

Band of Horses is not ideal, haha. We should start a thread of bad band name, good band.
