Modest Mouse thread

It's a good album, but it's probably my least favorite from them. It's the poppiest thing they've made but there's still some great songs on there like Bukowski, The World At Large, Blame it on the Tetons, etc.

This Is A Long Drive, Building Nothing Out of Something, The Moon and Antarctica, also don't forget to check out their great EPs

hell yea

Long Drive definitely if you want a less-angry version of the LCW style. Building Nothing out of Something is similar as well. Everything after builiding nothing is pretty different from the LCW style.

What's their most underrated song? And why is it Guilty Cocker Spaniels?

isaac is a buddy of a mine. he's basically a mix of david byrne and the white indie james brown. such an amazingly, charming fellow. so much heart. love you brother. keep it up.

the lonesome crowded west, building something out of nothing and moon y antartica are top albums. the way he hypes a crowd and leads his band (when he's in the mood) are so spectacular. he really did it.

And Whale Song. Waiting...waiting for that kick in ...oh..oh...ye...der ya go..aaaah
