Album with road

I love TMAA and TIALDFSWNTTA but can't seem to digest LCW, or at least its production

What's my problem user?

It can definitely be rough, it was for me the first 2 or 3 listens when I was first getting into Modest Mouse; the same for my friend. I guess I just sort of got used to it, and I actually came to enjoy the rough and raw production. It was definitely a kind of grower type of album, atleast in me and my friends experience. One thing that might help; or might get you more into the mindset of it is watching the documentary behind LCW.

Regardless of if it helps you or not, it's still a really cool look at some music history. The message of the album might become a bit more clear as well, if you had any problems with it.

yeah i have tons of times. lots of goat tracks on there
also make sure you dont miss out on the ugly casanova "rarities" (fatures on the reissue now)

wtf is "TIALDFSWNTTA"?

He mean This is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About.

oh. of course. i've never heard it like that, either full name or just "long drive".
thanks user.

But that's the thing: I'm very fond of rough and raw production, but that album sounded more like demos than a creative, lo-fi project.

And yes, I do have a problem with albums that need many relistens to get into, but mostly the ones that dont present as a challenge firsthand. I got easier,say, into DG and Swans than into Built to Spill or SunnO))) because I couldn't feel the density of the latters at first listen

Will check the doc, though cuz I still love Modest Mouse and Isaac Brock

This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About

Don't thank him. That isn't something people do. Long Drive makes way more sense than that retarded abbreviation

I don't get all the hate for Float On desu, it's a pretty damn good song. It's definitely not representative of the best of MM, and it wouldn't make my top 20 MM songs, but it's good for sure. I feel like a lot of fans try to downplay it just because of its popularity.

Me and my bandmate were playing it on rocksmith and we hadnt heard it since highschool.
Both agreed that it's just a solid, great tune.
