Good News for People Who Love Bad News by Modest Mouse

Modest Mouse: Isaac Brock, Eric Judy, Dann Gallucci, Benjamin Weikel. Additional personnel: Tom Peloso, The Flaming Lips, The Rising Star Fife And Drum Band, The Dirty Dozen Band. Recorded at Sweet Tea, Oxford, Mississippi. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band offers the opening fanfare for Modest Mouse's sixth full-length, GOOD NEWS FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE BAD NEWS, a fitting intro for the outfit's most majestic record to date. On their prior major-label recordings, the (formerly) indie icons opted for wandering, spacey arrangements to accompany Isaac Brock's magnificently obtuse poetics. GOOD NEWS revives the immediacy of the band's earlier releases, but furthers the production values (without too much polish), and out pours some of the most commanding pop-rock imaginable. The first single off of GOOD NEWS was the wonderfully catchy "Float On," with its syncopated, disco-like beat and Zen simplicity exemplified in the opening line "I backed my car into a cop car the other day.

Cons Maybe a bit too odd in places, some lackluster tracks
Recommended it? Yes

It has taken until now for me to realize that maybe music is headed in the right direction. Of course, I can't speak to the dire nature of mainstream songs and bands on radio and MTV without cringing, but as far as new albums go of the last year I've been incredibly satisfied with the burgeoning...

Pros Great music built anew from a dozen genres/ eras. Expressive vocals. Smart, surprisingly...
Cons The songs' power partly comes from the context of prior Modest Mouse.
Recommended it? Yes

While it disappoints me that only two of the first 25 Epinions on Modest Mouse's Good News for People who Love Bad News give the album five stars, it intrigues me that no one's accusing it of being a "sell-out". It _isn't_, of course, but it has the hallmarks of albums that get treated that way:... Read full review »

Pros Lots of really good catchy songs - with substance.
Cons Two or three tracks that wreck the flow and don't fit in well at all.
Recommended it? Yes
