Well thats an atrocious call back.

What it really comes down to is that there are expectations based upon factors that in no way dictate or serve as a precursor to those expectations. Theres no Modest Mouse formula per say. Simply because we put some people in a room whose sum equates to Modest Mouse does not mean the same math will yield The Moon and Antarctica.

But people still believe it should. And they believe failure to do so is simply incorrect.

And so to rebel against those who stand on the mountaintop and profess an illogicality and then to take it even further and condemn others for not blindly following their faulty logic, well it just borders on the zealousness of religion.

In short, if you didn't like this album you oppose same sex marriage and abortion rights and you should stop eating meat on fridays and onyl have sex when you're married.

Its all laid out right there.

hahahah and if you were serious: HAHAHAHHAHAHA

Well that was a horrible argument, but We Were Dead is still better.

I like Dashboard, Missed the boat (with the dude from The Shins!:love:) and We've got everything. Which is kinda expected since I'm a shallow pop-whore. So yeah, I'm not a big fan of this band and I think it's time I deleted almost 500 megs of their discography I have clogging up my hard drive...:|

Amazing.. I know a lot of people who did not think it was that great but that is because they are stuck in their old sound. Modest Mouse's style has changed a bit from early albums but I welcome the change.

I think we were dead is a great album, spitting venom is one of my favourite songs by any artist right now, and marched into the sea, dashboard and people as places as people are also very good songs

I def liked this album alot, but still compared to their earlier albums like This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, The Lonesome, Crowded West, and the Moon and Antartica it wasn't quite in the ball park.

good news for people who love bad news i think was a much better album but we were dead before the ship even sank is decent.

I have to admit I act like a snobby rotten disgusting indie Queen by not wanting to listen to this because I was "so" into Modest Mouse 8 years ago... I understand how annoying that is because I've been to the shows and had someone yelling in my ear all night for them to play "Trailer Trash"... My husband never liked them but he likes this and I put up a big fight not to ever listen to it. Every time I hear it I do realize they have evolved into something still very good it might be more polished but, it's damn good too. There I admit it. (only to the forum though)
