New Shins Album Delayed... Again

Aversion.com reports that the third Shins has been delayed. The album was originally due in June of this year, then pushed to October, and is now due sometime in 2007.

Never fear, though, as the band states that "We have never been more happy with anything that we've ever recorded before. ... And we can definitely say that it is due to the fact that we've been given so much time to perfect it. The record is the best we've ever done."

I sure hope the album's good, because no one's listening to them for their live show. (Which is consistently awful, IMO.)
