LD > LCW > WWD > M&A > STO > GN
Have you heard strangers yet anon?

>>54326318
Yeah. I really love it. 9/10, loses a point for Wicked Campaign, is otherwise perfect.

Pistol is fucking fantastic.

>>54326354
I didn't even know people disliked pistol, it's amazing. Favorite track?

>>54326392
Probably Ground Walks, but Shit in Your Cut is really up there too. Yours?

>>54326354
Why do you dislike Wicked Campaign anon? I thought it was one of the better tracks

>>54326412
It sounds like MM doing Imagine Dragons. The lyrics are great, but the song is too awful to really depend on them the way it does. It's clearly meant to rely on them, but it just doesn't work for me. Why did you like it? Just curious- I've seen most people either say it was one of their favorites or the absolute worst, kinda like Pistol.

>>54326411
Sugar boats has grown on me, but I fucking love coyotes.

Some of the tracks sound straight shoegaze right? Or am I alone in this?

>>54326464
Yeah, I feel you. Coyotes is another favorite, and Ansel started out as being a track I disregarded and is quickly turning into a top favorite as well.

>>54326464
Sugar boats is amazing

>>54326483
If you're referring to Building Nothing, yeah, I can see that. Workin' on Leavin' the Livin' is very noisy and makes me feel that way.

>>54326511
I was referring more to strangers, like best room.

I like new Modest Mouse more than old Modest Mouse more often than not. Crazy right?

>>54326354
Haven't listened to STO in full yet, just heard Lampshades on Fire and The Best Room and I'm not very impressed. Is it really as good as TLCW?

Then again, M&A is my favorite Modest Mouse album so maybe I just have shit taste.

>>54326442
I guess I can see where you're coming from, but really, it feels like one of the more somber songs on the album. And I quite like that. As you said, i love the lyrics on the song, I also particularly like the way Isaac's voice deepens when he says "wicked campaign." I'll admit I don't like the backing vocals too much though. Overall I just like the tone of the song.

>>54326556
I don't think they'll ever be able to top their earlier work, but I do think STO is their best album since M&A.

>>54326556
Is it just me, or am I hearing moments of m&a on STO? Like in the guitars, especially on pups to dust

>>54326556
It's pretty good. It has less bad tracks then moon, but worse good tracks, do you know what I mean?

>>54326609
Pups to dust sound really moon-esque.

>>54326549
I can see why you would.

>Okay Tier

>Shitstain Tier
Wicked Campaign

But I'm obviously just a Modest Mouse fanboy that really enjoyed the album

I haven't tried listening to MM after Good News. I've heard of a few songs, like Satellite Skin and Dashboard and they're pretty okay.

Will I ever like the new Modest Mouse?

>>54326609
I was thinking this, too.
I hear it in The Ground Walks the most, also in the Tortoise and the Tourist. Be Brave, too.
God is an Indian also reminds me more of their Everywhere EP, specifically

>>54326206
Building Somthing out of Nothing is a compilation you stupid fuck. M&A is their best. The new album is dogshit.

>>54326722
Not if you never listen to them.

>>54326743
I know it's a compilation, and it's also their best album for me. You don't have to rank it if you don't want to, I just did because I love it a lot.

>>54326558
Fair enough. If the lyrics really do it for you, then I can easily see why it's a favorite.

>>54326556
If you didn't like Lampshades or Best Room, you might not like STO very much at all. Still give it a try, especially since there's very few songs on there that are like them. Personally I love both of those songs, especially Best Room.

>>54326609
Pups to Dust is super M&A like. Tortoise has it too like>>54326724 said. Pistol also reminds me of Tiny Cities Made of Ashes.

>>54326722
I don't know, go listen to an album and see if you like it.

>>54326901
>>54326942
Ok, fine. Where should I start then? If it means anything I think LCW is their best.

>>54326972
I'd say try We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. If you like Missed the Boat, People as Places, and We've Got Everything, you'll probably love Good News. If you like Dashboard, Fire it Up, and Invisible, you'll probably love STO.

If you don't like any of it, even one song, then i guess you just don't like new MM.

Fruit that Ate Itself top tier

Talking shit about a pretty sunset is still their best song


and so is tundra/desert

>>54326972
I thought their more two recent releases, STO and No One's First but You're Next, were better, and I'd agree with you on the LCW thing.
Good News isn't really that bad either, it has a few great songs.
We Were Dead has "Spitting Venom" but that's really it.

>>54327034
Well, I already like Good News, so I guess that's a good start. Thanks.

haven't seen you around in a whiiiiiiiile

>>54327095
What? It has parting the sensory, little motel, education, etc. There is much more than just spitting venom.

shit in your cut is the best song on the album

Will I ever find another album (outside of maaaybe Spiderland) that makes me feel like TLCW does? Goddamn.

>>54328084
Try this.

Gotta say M&A=LCW>WWD=LD>GNFPWLBD.
Haven't spent enough time with Strangers to Ourselves yet but I'm really digging it and feel like it might be somewhere between LCW and WWD

I'm really digging song i didnt found that interesting at first, like ansel and of course we know.
And Shit in the cut have such a cachy riff.

I'm really excited to know that there is more to come probably this year.

BNooS > LCW > Interstate 8 EP > Sad Sappy Sucker > Long Drive > Everywhere EP > Fruit EP > M&A > STO > No One's First EP > Good News > We Were Dead

Lonesome > Long Drive > Moon & Antarctica > Building Nothing > Strangers> Interstate 8 EP > Good News > Fruit EP > Sad Sappy > Everywhere EP > No One's First > We Were Dead >

>>54329090

with all that touring I don't think it will come this year, maybe next one, like Radiohead's Kid A / Amnesiac

among my favorite bands so i feel obliged to hop in and get autistic

LCW = M&A > Long Drive = Building Nothing> Strangers = Good News > We Were Dead

LCW: 10
M&A: 10
Long Drive: 9
Building Nothing: 9
Strangers:8
Good News: 8
We Were Dead: 7.5

maybe I'm a fanboy but I they're genuinely a great band. Lonesome Crowded West is a fucking trip, I wish I could hear it again for the first time.

>>54327050

>>54333144
>Not bankrupt on selling

>>54326613
What tracks on M&A could you possibly see as bad?

>>54326206
>Strangers to Ourselves > Moon and Antarctica

This is a bait thread, right?

Long Drive - 10/10
LCW - 9.5/10
M&A - 9/10
Good News - 8.5/10
We Were Dead - 8/10

How are all those EPs and other compilation albums? Never heard one but I pretty much have loved everything else they did.

>>54327037
Yeah, good old red hot chili mouses.

>>54330271
wat. interstate 8 is a few tracks that made it onto BNooS and a handful of live recordings. It is definitely not better than long drive.

>>54333585
Building Nothing is GOAT and is normally grouped in with their studio albums cause it might as well be one

I was kind of disappointed that the singles were the best thing on this album for me. I even loved GNFPWLBN and WWDBTSS but I just can't get into this album... there's nothing exciting about it. and I'm kind of sad about that

>>54327141
>Broke

my nigga

I think that might be my favourite song of all time

>>54333585
Fruit and Parlour tricks are good but wildly subjective. Night On The Sun is made by it's title track and No One's First is my favourite of them all. Considering everybody hates modern MM it's got some belters on it.

If you dig early Modest Mouse google for the "Rarities And Unreleased Material [Unofficial]" mix. A lot of great recordings that never got released.

>>54326239
>he hasn't listended to building nothing out of something

tM&A > LCW > Building Nothing > Good News > StO > Long Drive > WWD
Haven't listend to Sad Sappy Sucker yet

>>54334775
You definitely should, just to see where they started

>new album sounded more like We Were Dead than No One's First

It turned out well enough, but damn. No One's First is the shit.

Does anybody have a download link?

pls

>>54334775
>Haven't listend to Sad Sappy Sucker yet

prepare for genius songwriting, insanity, feels and a touch of kazoo improv

>>54333672
It has so many good songs that didn't make it on the compilation. Edit the Sad Parts is their best song.

>>54336647
>those two minutes of silence

Too corny for me Isaac.

>>54333585
Definitely listen to Building Nothing out of Something as soon as you can. By far my favorite album of theirs. If you love all of their music you've heard so far you should really check out all of their EPs, too.

>>54337318
he is truly a dumb plebian

>>54337318
Good News is really their worst album, it's just that everyone hates We Were Dead because it's new, and because Dashboard.

>>54337318
except good news is the best of their last 3, and probably their most popular.

>>54338305
Seconded.

We Were Dead is a solid alternative rock album if you ignore the name on the cover. Good News has some good stuff on it but Float On, World at Large, The View etc. are just pop rock rubbish.

>Long Drive - 8/10
>LCW - 9/10
>Building Nothing - 8/10
>SSS - 7/10
>M&A - 7.5/10
>Good News - 6/10
>We Were Dead - 5/10

I think I'll give Strangers a chance today, even though it will surely be a mayor disappointment.

Is Building Nothing really a cohesive album?

>>54336744
There's also a couple minutes of silence before the next track, Beach Side Property
They did this to separate the studio recordings from the live ones

>>54337318
badthony pantano

>>54338701
Not really imo, I can't help it but to notice how they don't belong to the same studio sessions or exact period, but it's still a fantastic collection of tracks.

>>54338701
It's sort of like a greatest hits, except non of the songs on it were on official albums. Full of rad tracks, though 8^)

>>54338701
Not really, but I do think its more cohesive than good news and StO

>>54338909
this, it's strange given how fussy brock is about projecting a theme and journeyed listening on his albums

strangers just sounds like random flashbacks to their earlier music and good news, well he probably just got distracted at having all the bells and whistles of a top tier studio and label executives sticking their nose in

>>54326206
M&A>LCW>Long Drive>We Were Dead>Strangers to ourselves>Good News

strangers to ourselves was not nearly as bad as i thought it would be, thankfully

Just here to remind you, any list that doesn't start with Long Drive is already incorrect.
Deal with it, LCW fags.

>>54339236
definitely agree with what your saying about strangers. So much of it is stuff that's built on elements that were used in previous albums.

on another note, I think one of the reasons that I like Good News is that it really doesn't sound like any modest mouse before it. Similar to how M&A doesnt sound like LCW, and LCW doesnt sound like Long Drive.

>It was a staple of brass tacks and waxed backs
>A memo left on the forehead of God, sent sealed and signed by the saints who sang this song
>We're going union like they say, we'll buy the congregation
>Then one day, you'll find us sitting in your chairs with big ideas of stocks and shares

Daily reminder Brock wrote Long Drive when he was 16-17. What are you doing with your life /mu/?

I can't find anywhere with a working link for STO. Anyone got it? Also, good news is my favorite album, mostly because my dad used to play it for me so much as a kid.

>>54339340
It's not as varied as LCW, really. I could live without that Ohio/Exit Does Not Exist streak. LCW tracklist makes sure the album doesn't get too samey.
