Incredible, A Must Have For Modest Mouse Fans

Almost every Modest Mouse Album is different, and this one is definetly different, in a good way, of course! This album takes you on a journey, exploring many different topics, life, death all that good stuff. There is a great pace to the album, a fast start, a slower mellower middle with haunting vocals and guitar, and then a twisted end, with an incredible What People Are Made Of. A great CD, a Modest Mouse classic...

Incredible Release

I have a real hard time deciding if this or the Lonesome Crowded West is Modest Mouse's best album. This hits me a lot more emotionally than any other of their cds, probably because of the gloomy, other-worldly atmosphere that the songs create. 3rd Planet is one of the greatest songs Modest Mouse has ever created and I can't see why that song isn't just as popular as Float On. Gravity Rides Everything and Dark Center of the Universe are both solid as well, with Dark Center winning out because of the great guitar riffs and lyrics especially in the chorus. Perfect Disguise is a nice interlude into the middle part of the album, which contains the offbeat song Tiny Cities Made of Ashes, one of my least favorite songs until I saw the band play it live- awesome! A Different City weaves back and forth between high speed guitar riffs and slow melodic singing. The Cold Part and Alone Down There are like companion songs, each bringing a strange, isolated, and desperate feeling about them. Then comes the deeply introspective The Stars Are Projectors which fully immerses the listener into the world that The Moon and Antartica creates, and leads into the last and best portion of the album. Wild Packs of Family Dogs is the shortest, but most disturbing song on the album with lyrics that send shivers up your spine. Paper Thin Walls and I Came As a Rat are gems that stand right up there with 3rd Planet and are better than almost every other song on the album. Life Like Weeds is also a lyrical and atmospheric standout, and What People Are Made Of closes out the album with a chaotic bang. Best songs are 3rd Planet, Paper Thin Walls, I Came As a Rat, Life Like Weeds, and Dark Center of the Universe, but this album is truely worth being listened to from start to finish.

The Best Of Modest Mouse

I remember my first encounter with Modest Mouse was seeing their music video for "Float On" on tv. I fell in love with the band. After listening to Good News For People Who Love Bad News for a while I decided I needed more. I found this and it blew me away. This, in my opinion, is Modest Mouse at their best. My favorites from this album are "Paper Thin Walls," "A Different City," and "Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes."
