My good friend Devon has been listening to Modest Mouse for years. When he and I started hanging out, he was obsessed with making me like them. It didnt take long before I became a fan. I have to say, their style is unique, which makes me like them even more.

I head Modest Mouse awhile back, but wasn't a fan til I heard GNFPWLBN. If that makes me uncool for being late in jumping in on the Modest Mouse love, then so be it. I know a lot of their long-time fans are less than happy with the album. Anyways I usually hate the singles off albums, but Float On is just plain amazing. There's some odd stuff on the album, but as a whole, it's pretty diverse and all good.

I love Float On! The drums and bassline are really heavy and groovy. I'll buy "Good News..." this weekend, maybe.

I swear, it took me hearing the song about five times before I realized that's what he was saying. Ha!

I dig the song, though.

I'd like to get the album, but it requires money, which I must save. *sniffle*

I dig the new album.

But I like "The Moon and Antarctica" a little better though.

i didn't even hear of modest mouse until "float on", but i love them. my friend gave me all of their cd's to listen to, and i like "the moon and antarctica" the best. the second best is their new cd, i think. i wish i would've heard of them earlier.

I've been listening to Modest Mouse for years. They're really great. I prefer their old stuff though.

Yeah, I'm in that same "questionable-boat-of-uncoolness" too. I guess I was too young when I heard them for the first time, like "Why it that man screaming, why is this so loud, why isn't it Zach Hanson singing, mleeh". But the lyrical and musical richness in GNFPWLBN cannot be *****ing denied.

'Blame It on the Tetons' is particularly and brilliantly beautiful.
