Modest Mouse Demands "You Tell Me What You Want"

bylambchops Aug 9, 2004
100 Helpfuls 101 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great pop music, some memorable tracks, slightly askew sense of humor
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...

"life handed us a paycheck, we said 'we worked harder than this!'"

byvoxpoptart Dec 16, 2004
97 Helpfuls 98 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »

Good News for People Who Love Good Pop Songs

bysteven9988 May 2, 2004
86 Helpfuls 87 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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

Now, for some, this change in direction for Modest Mouse is for the worse; it's "selling out" It's an attempt to get into the mainstream and make some $$$. I like to think of it a slightly different way. It's successfully bringing good, quality music to the mainstream audience. And in order to do... Read full review »

bad news for people who hate over-used puns in review titles

byandym173 Oct 17, 2004
83 Helpfuls 84 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros good songs, and good parts-of-songs; sometimes, just sometimes, they make an effort
Cons *snore*
Recommended it? Yes

[Before I start things off here, I'd just like to apologise profusely for my title. I mean, was it just me that got incredibly, incredibly annoyed when all the reviews of this album were pouring into the site, and each and every single one of them felt the need to use a horrible pun on the album's...

Modest Mouse Is A Hard Nut To Crack, But That Juicy Center Is Worth It

bychad8246 Nov 15, 2004
65 Helpfuls 66 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Some exceptional songs along with some cool experimentation
Cons Much of the experimentation can wear thin at times
Recommended it? Yes

Finally, I feel comfortable reviewing this album. After being introduced to Modest Mouse with their previous release, The Moon And Antarctica, I was eager to pick up Good News For People Who Love Bad News. I liked it, but still couldn't get my hands around it enough for a review. So, after several... Read full review »

Modest Mouse -- Music to Get Drunk By

byflamepillar Jun 6, 2004
95 Helpfuls 96 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Eclectic stuff. Lots of songs grow on you over time.
Cons Dude, the sky's like, spinning and stuff.
Recommended it? Yes

Now THAT'S an interesting cover. And WOW, the CD is pink! The only other pink CD I have is Lisa Loeb's Firecracker. All of a sudden, we've seen Modest Mouse sitting in the more prominently placed sections at music stores, and you might have even caught them on the radio. Fact is, they've been...

Modest Mouse: Good News For People Who Love Great Music!

byspeeddemon531 Jul 3, 2004
61 Helpfuls 62 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great music. What other pros do you need?
Cons Great music. What other pros do you need?
Recommended it? Yes

The one cool part of my job is that I bring home tons of free music. Honestly, I never listen to the majority of it. It's pretty difficult to dedicate yourself to hours of music listening-even when you have no life like me. Sometimes there has to be another way to receive the kick in the *ss... Read full review »

Modest Mouse - Effluent Mix of Substandard Music

bymartytdx Oct 1, 2004
58 Helpfuls 59 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Occasional splashes of quality music
Cons Bad lyrics, mostly bad singing, bad sense of style
Recommended it? No

Every once in a while, an acclaimed release comes out from the Burroughs-like trip that some critics are on, an album that I look at and say, "What?" This is that album for 2004.

Now I know that there are obviously people out there who like this album - I've actually read the reviews of... Read full review »

56 Helpfuls 57 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very weird, but good all the same
Cons Some filler
Recommended it? Yes

Alright, so during the past few months I have been hearing about Modest Mouse. Epinionators have been writing [awesome] reviews for their newest album, Good News For People Who Love Bad News, but before I read any of their reviews I had the idea that Modest Mouse was just another pop rock group in...

Here they come to... uh... lackadaisically watch the day not being saved.

bydivad23 Oct 21, 2004

Pros Some really creative, albeit wacky, musical arrangements. Isaac Brock's vocal range...
Cons A little gratuitous on the swearing, a few drug references, and some really mean-spirited...
Recommended it? Yes

"Are these guys on crack or something?"

That's been a common reaction of mine whenever I hear music that is more than a bit baffling, that pushes the bounds of what I think will "work", or that comes coupled with bizarre lyrical scenarios that make me wonder if the songwriters had been... Read full review »
