yeah...this would go in the sub-forum called music hall.. regardless, yes modest mouse is awesome, theyre spectacular live
Well most of their work prior to Good News was written under the influence of various drugs... Which is what made them so great. Moon and Antarctica is one of my favorite albums of all time... and even their last album had a few shining spots on it.
Modest Mouse.... None of their albums touch the Moon and Antarctica. I agree with Banana Blunt, pure gold. The Lonesome Crowded West is pretty good, everybody should check out Out of Gas. We Were Dead Before the Ship Sank is eh, but its got some good songs. Songs for the new listeners to check out (*'s = MUST) 3rd Planet* Out of Gas* Trailer Trash* Bankrupt on Selling Heart Cooks Brain Bukowski The Ocean Breathes Salty* Doin' the Cockroach Dark Center of the Universe Gravity Rides Everything Paper Thin Walls Wild Pack of Family Dogs* Fire It Up
That's your loss. Anyone who wants to say they're a modest mouse fan and only listens to one or two of their albums is selling themselves short. I'm now up to 73 songs, even got some off of Sad Sappy Sucker. Some recommendations aside from their more obvious songs: Broke Baby Blue Sedan Convenient Parking Alone Down There Workin on Leavin the Livin Breakthrough One Chance
Just listen to interviews taken with the band. Brock doesn't exactly make it a secret to the public, be it through interview or through his lyrics that the band once liked to use.... But that stopped when it came time to make Good News for Poeple Who Like Bad News (as is evident by the song The Good Times Are Killing Me)
