Szabo Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 MM is really two different bands, pre-Good News and post-Good News. I like it, they still write great song after great song. Definitely like pre-Good News much more though, its just too polished now a days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I really like this album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiokills Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 lcw is by far the best album they'll ever make, imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I was listening to the album last night as I was driving to my parents and thought "I really like this album." It's interesting and the sound, however polished, really fits. You can only go so far with their old sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 i've only listened to it once and was kindof turned off, and Good News is my favorite of theirs. i'll try it again someday soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zach5277 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 So far, it reminds me of a combination of Good News and The Moon & Antarctica. It's certainly a much more solid album than Good News, but still doesn't really live up to the quality of The Moon & Antarctica. I think people just need to get used to the fact that Modest Mouse isn't going to be hearkening back to the days of Long Drive anytime soon. The new stuff is enjoyable, just different, and arguably hard to accept if you're expecting their old sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ction Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 lcw is by far the best album they'll ever make, imo What's it like in the future? When do we all start wearing identical silver jumpsuits? And, more importantly, do the Redskins ever win another Super Bowl? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalzunfield Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 This will be the worst album of the year for me hands down. It's awful: from Brock's awful singing on the opening track to the closing track an hour later (it feels like three days later) I was waiting for it to end. I guess that's not entirely true because there were a couple decent songs. Unfortunately, they're the songs that borrow a vocal contribution from someone who actually put out a good record this year: James Mercer of the Shins. The songs all feel very monotonous to me and Brock sounds like he's doing his best David Byrne impersonation at times which, if it was actually good, I'd respect. But it's not good. And the song writing is not up to par with the most recent albums. That coupled with the fact that they're pretty poor to mediocre live means this album is gone from my collection already.

owl Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 lcw is by far the best album they'll ever make, imo I'd like to see something more like M&A come from them. Until then, they're dead to me. I just can't get into it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quick, name some non-epic length MM albums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdmel Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 yea, results are in: modest mouse isnt actually that good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orkie Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Bad record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Alex Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I have to say I didn't like this album much at first. M&A is still their most solid album to me. But this one does grow on you after awhile. I don't think anyone who's expecting a specific sound from them is bound to be all that pleased with this album, but its got its merits.

zoom Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I've been missing good material from Johnny Marr since his The The days. I am liking this album a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
