yeah that's true, I went through their CDs last night, and it seems every CD of theirs has a few amazing songs, a few songs that I completely forget about seconds after I hear them, and a few that I can't stand listening to more than the first 5 seconds. But I still love them, because I think when they do get a good song, they really get it right. Have to agree with Urban that there are other bands who have made very similar music to modest mouse, but for me they have something that keeps me coming back to the good songs they have made. Plus, dramamine, out of gas, polar opposites, and heart cooks brain are the most perfect songs for skiing pow that I've ever found.
