Honestly, I can't find a better band than these guys. I have tried and tried, but Modest Mouse just puts too much on the table. I mean, come on, they're just so sincere and earnest, something lacking from a lot of bands these days. People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments.

best modest mouse record. and by the look of it it'll always be the best one, not saying that their terrible now but i doubt they'll ever sound like this again. I dont think modest mouse and the pixies sound alike. There are little similarities but not a lot. Besides, evertime a punk band is reviewed i never hear "hey the ramones called they want their sound back" my bad, just that whenever the pixies are mentioned i gotta let everyone know how much they kick everyone's ass. little quirk of mine. It's a shame that both modest mouse review discussions ended in the same comment. the pixies' surfer rosa is the greatest album of all time. there, i've said it. I'm guessing that reference was to Tom Waits's "Singapore" You know that's interesting, I seem to remember that on a certain other modest mouse review. Try something new, better luck next time. the pixies called, they want their sound back. to the guy below me, you mean nfg not modest mouse Psshhh! Modest Mouse is just a band people claim to like so that they can write it on their various online community forum profiles so girls will IM them. i used to hate this band so much and then one day my roommate had this record on the stereo and i was all "hmm, what is this?" and he was all "modest fucking mouse! see you do like them, hahahahah!" and i was all "goddamn. fuckin a." and then i listened to this album 8957894657846 times and realized that yeah, it really smokes. it might even be better than the moon and antarctica, if only for the more raw production. i don't think there is a moment of filler on this record, which is saying something, as it is 74 minutes long....ah modest mouse, always fillin up the record.... "ps don't respond" Unfortunately, if you absorbed anything but pop culture you would know that my previous post, although trite, is not derived directly from "Minority Report." The last Tom Cruise movie I saw was "Risky Business." Got to love whores. whoa now. first of all, anonymous don't be stealing lines from movies (ahem, Minority Report). secondly, relay1112, it wouldn't have been a bad review if you actually talked about the actual music on the cd. good word usage though. Yeah maybe you're misunderstood because you talk shit to people then wonder why they retaliated. I've got nothing against you though. I think sometimes people get the wrong impression of me. I am not that incredible writer either, but in the land of the blind, the man with one eye is king. Maybe one day people will respond to reviews by talking about the band/album rather than the review.. u want a review dove, i got one of this cd coming up, at least its better then this :) I sincerely apologize, dove, for trying to put something coherent down that actually told you something about the CD. I guess it's better if I would just combine three sentences into one so you can't understand a goddamn thing I say. Let me revise my review for you, so maybe you can understand it. It is odd to me that you claim to hold this album dear to your heart but your review sounds like a stoned Wyzo. Leave the reviews to the reviewers. I'm sure in your head writing a review sounded much better than it came out. Apology accepted. i hate modest mouse, not a scenester oh they suck hate, just a pure selfabsorbed I hate there music and band hate. Ive never been able to do anything but hate this band, I dont know why. Ouch emptycauses, that hurts. This is one of my favorite albums as well. Emptycauses - my favorite part was when i reviewed this 2 weeks ago....no need for two 'bout time someone reviewed a modest mouse disc |
