So, it has been about a week since the new Modest Mouse album hit. I’m excited, aren’t you?
It took a few spins, as most albums do, but I love it. It is not very similar to Good News For People Who Love Bad News, but then again that one wasn’t exactly similar to The Moon and Antarctica. While I’m no expert on their music, it seems the albums tend to go all in various directions, and I’m enjoying that. You may find this contrary to my opinions on game franchises like Dragon Quest, but c’est la vie.
Overall, there are little to no songs that disappoint. A fair mix of catchy tunes blend with some awesome rock-the-fuck-out songs and it leaves me quite satisfied. If you’re looking for direct sequels to any previous albums, maybe you’ll be disappointed.
Oh yeah. Bonus points for the fact that in the coming month they’re going to rock the fuck out in motherfucking Rochester of all places, and I’m hella pumped.
