Now I have never stopped liking Modest Mouse. I will always love Modest Mouse even though they haven't been able to impress me recently. I'll tell you now I'd much rather listen to Good News for People Who Love Bad News over We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank any day of the damn week.
Stole this from Crippes, listen to Modest Mouse because they are awesome.
Their newest installment has a very lack luster sound. Sure they spent a lot of time in the studio drowning out Mr. Brock and other crucial members of the band with silly effects and twangs, but point being they never needed those things. Their amazing sound and tenacity came from struggle and depression. Those things made Modest Mouse sound great. Now that they have all the money they could ever need there's no reason to write songs like "Bankrupt on Selling" or "Styrofoam Boots". They can now write silly songs like "Dashboard" and "Florida" that frankly suck.

I'll keep supporting you Modest Mouse, and I'll always remember the awful winter days where you reminded me that your life has sucked a lot more than mine. I'll always remember having moments where I knew exactly what you were talking about through song, those moments people don't like to talk about because they're afraid of conveying a large amount of emotion for something as little as a song. I love music for that very reason. Each song is a gateway to somewhere else, where you don't have to be yourself anymore but merely listen to what and how someone else feels. It's amazing. I like to think everyone else feels this way about music and I know some people do.

I know I'm a music elitist and I know it has caused some trouble with other music lovers I know. But what I try to get out there is that I'll listen to almost anything once. I listened to "Under the Black Light" by Rilo Kiley for Christ's sake. That was some awful music. I do my best not to offend other people's taste in music but sometimes they are asking for it. I don't need to listen to Insane Clown Posse to know that they suck. A lot of people like it and good for them. If you're not going to let me say I don't like it there's no reason I should have to listen to you ramble on about how good you think they are.

It's all a matter of respect. If you're in my house telling me my music sucks, you're not going to get a pleasant response. If you're in my house refusing to listen to my friend explain his love of Modest Mouse to you, you're not going to get a pleasant response. All I'm saying is, I have an opinion too, I heard yours now let me tell you mine. I will not allow bad mouthing of Modest Mouse near me again. I'm with Dave on this one. I'm ready to get into fights defending them.
If you see this album buy it. It's worth it. If you don't agree you're missing out.

Remember the good 'ol days. When Modest Mouse didn't suck balls?
aaaaahh.... memories
Well I can't bitch that much. They did give us 6 albums that were out of this world. 6 albums that I consider to be some of the best music I will ever hear.
When I'm lying in bed at night I comfort myself with this thought.
"It's ok Dave, Modest Mouse actually broke up after Good News" When I finally convince myself I smile, then drift off to sleep.
So Much Beauty It Could Make You Cry
I knew you would agree. Let's remember the good 'ol days. Those days we never thought would end. I still have hope that someday I will be surprised again by them. Maybe with this new internet generation they got the message from real fans that Modest Mouse went a step in the wrong direction. I hope they make it back.
What are you talking about? Modest Mouse broke up a few years ago.
Either that or they died in a plane crash.
The point is... They no longer exist. Some crimes can't be forgiven. If Charles Manson said he was sorry he would still have to stay in jail.... FOREVER!!
