I do not. Were it not for the existence of the Moldy Peaches, Modest Mouse would easily be the most annoying (and bafflingly successful) group of the last decade. Everything about this band has rubbed me the wrong way from the very beginning; their guitar tones, the vocal style (one of the most abrasive I have experienced in recent memory), the songs. "Maturity" has not helped them either, but I remember when they first emerged and how shocked I was that they were able to build such a rabid fan base with music containing so many elements that are total dealbreakers for me in issues of taste and quality.
