what al tonno said. plus "The Fruit that ate itself" EP is quite a hidden gem in my opinion - some great tracks on it!

generally: old modest mouse >>> new modest mouse

yeah definately! they were better at the beginning of the millenium fo sho

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.25.2008, 07:51 AM

not a huge fan but the album "this is a long drive for those who have nothing to talk about " is class....

evollove · 08.25.2008, 08:19 AM

Good News is not even close to their best.

Lonesome Crowded West way too long (like Moon), but has:

-Teeth Like God's Shoeshine
-Trailer Trash
-Doing the Cockroach
-Cowboy Dan
-Trucker's Atlas

and a few other outstanding tunes.

get brock's early solo demo shit

classic

SuperCreep · 08.25.2008, 12:04 PM

Long Drive, Lonesome Crowded West, Moon & Antarctica, and the Building Nothing Out of Something comp. are all great. Both Good News and We Were Dead have a handful of very good tracks, but they're pretty inconsistent compared to their earlier material.

greedrex · 08.25.2008, 12:57 PM

i'm not a fan, but this is goooooood

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 08.25.2008, 12:59 PM

Pretty much every one I know is in love with them.
Just check the last.fm accounts of my personal friends.
I have Lonesome Crowded West, but I just can't seem to really get into them.

Savage Clone · 08.25.2008, 01:12 PM

One of the most annoying bands of the last decade.

They used to be decent to good.
Now they're bland to shit.

Moon & Antarctica was the biggest Cure rip-off of the past decade or so. A pretty good one, but jeez, not worth the hype.

Alex's Trip · 08.25.2008, 08:44 PM

I only like Lonsome Crowded West and This Is A Long Drive. Someone burned the Moon and Antarctica for me but I haven't listened to it.

Cure-rip off? they always sounded so much like The Pixies to me.

the band has indeed gone to shit. but jerimiah green is one of my favorite drummers out there.
