We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank [Deluxe Edition] [Digipak] by Modest Mouse

Pros: At their best Modest still manages some great, subtle pop melodies.
Cons: They seem complacent, maybe even bored with their sound.

To introduce a bit of history to indie success story Modest Mouse I’ve decided to unveil the long lost script to Sesame Street: Rocking the Burbs. This episode was originally scheduled to air in the fall of 㥪 but the bigwigs at PBS decided ...

Pros: Several moments are riotous enough to feel like vintage modest mouse.
Cons: Songs are predictable at first listen; "ocean" theme never ties together, sounds like cheap plastic.

Anybody who listened to Modest Mouse post-Good News for People Who Love Bad News is likely to adore this album. It's saccharine sweet and full of the elasticity that they've become so magically renknowned for with "Good News". Anybody Pre-Good News ...

Pros: A cd that stays true to the Modest Mouse style
Cons: A little boring for those wanting an up-beat mainstream cd.

The greatest thing about this album is the Smith's guitarist Jonny Marr joining forces with Modest Mouse. The Indie Rockers kept themselves under wraps until their 2004s hit cd "Good New for People Who Love Bad News" and the hit song "Float On."

For those who are Modest Mouse fans this album is still a pretty good album but for those looking for another maintstream Pop type album should stay away and save your money. If you're trying to get into Modest Mouse music look into a lot of their earlier albums.

Good Songs: "Dashboard" "Missed the Boat" "People as Places as People"
