RicardoOMar 17, 2007The Best Indie Rock Album for this century...maybe not, but for sure is the best Indie Rock Band

dangMar 17, 2007are you people crazy? this album is terrible. it's a bunch of attempts at another float on, and none of them are anywhere near as good. it has a few good tracks though.

LucasKMar 17, 2007it's alright. not that good or not that bad. Only bad thing is that... IT's so damn dancy, I mean, listen to that beat...

RyanMMar 16, 2007So this what Modest Mouse sounds like mainstream? After GNFPWLB you had to figure this was the direction they were headed.
-
-
RickMar 16, 2007Excellent album, well worth the wait. Favorite tracks are "Parting of the Sensory" and "March Into The Sea".

TylerTMar 16, 2007Am I crazy?? This album is ok at best. I have been a rabid fan for 7 years, and I believe this is their weekest point. It is not "bad" but it nowhere compares to the other albums... even good news. It feels rushed as hell, and little poppy, and a little too slow. I just saw them live on wednesday, and the songs are better live, but nothing compared to the older songs they were playing.

SamCMar 9, 2007so many great tracks. doesn't flow as well some of mm's previous work, but still great. fav tracks are march into the sea, spitting venom and missed the boat. parting of the sensory is great as well. if "we've got everything" and "fly trapped in a jar" did not exist, it would be 10/10.

BrettNMar 6, 2007Great album. At first I was skeptical, but the more I listen to it, the more I like it.
-
-
ChrisMMar 2, 2007When i heard dashboard I had pretty grim expectations for the album, but the rest of the album turned out to be amazing. Marr's copmlex guitar work underneath Brock's powerful voice makes for and odd but equally compelling mix. a very consistent album

LukeFeb 28, 2007This album is quite possibly in my top ten favourites list now, what an amazing album.

AlbertFeb 27, 2007I love the part that makes me smile!

-
RickEFeb 27, 2007Modest Mouse have made a mistake here I feel, they have relied too heavily on knowing that we like the shouty tracks, however the shouty tranks only really work with the 6-10 minutes of isolation before hand it ends up sounding like an argument between mother and child
-
-
zachsFeb 25, 2007what happened to issac brock's creativity.with the exception of "march into sea" the album is dull. James Mercer is completely out of place on the album. Brock's lyrics are perhaps the most disappointing aspect of the album. One of my generations greatest lyricist has seemed to lost his touch. Hopefully for just one album.
-
-
CalebRFeb 25, 2007Almost as good as Lonesome Crowded West. Rocking. New. Excellent. Johnny Marr brings the funk, Isaac Brock continues the insanity. A collection of well-executed pop songs.
-
-
EduardoAFeb 25, 2007Good album, sometimes they start wandering around, but it's the least of the times. It's great to be able to hear a whole Modest Mouse album without feeling like something is just noisy and giving me an earache as it happened to me with 'Good news from people who love bad news'. P.S: 8 because the record sometimes seems overproduced.
-
-
MartyMcflyFeb 24, 2007Easily, some of the best work they've done ever, and has shown how much the band has matured since they began. Buy this album and listen to it over and over again.
-
-
MermaidOnlandFeb 22, 2007An amazing effort at points. A few weaker spots, but otherwise consistently inventive, clever, and rocking. Ranks up there with their best work, if not their absolute best at certain moments (Parting of the Sensory, Little Motel, Spitting Venom).

BlenderIs there another "Float On"? It scarcely matters: 10 years into their career, Modest Mouse have stumbled into their best album yet. [Mar 2007, p.137]
-
Under The RadarNot just an album that revisits the dancey guitar-pop that made "Float On" an unlikely #1 hit, but sharpens and emboldens it for their most accessible album to date. [#16, p.93]
-
Like everything the band has released since signing with Epic in the teeth of a millennial panic, it's louder and somewhat less twisty than the group's indie output.
