hey its tyler fluharty again, reading this a few years later, I'm just laughing at myself.. I'm happy for modest mouse's success to set the record straight, and they are poets... music is poetry so I don't know why I bothered making that point. If i ran into myself when I wrote this.. I'd have to kick my own ass.

As long as they keep making awesome albums, (not a bad one to date) let's not worry about main-stream, indie, obscure, ect. Bottom line is they can kick ass. and Isaac Brock's getting kind of fat, which probably means he's not on quite as much speed.

Float on is on "goods news . . . .", not M&A.
Both are great albums.

FLOAT ON... FLOAT ON...FLOAT ON. Yes its a great sone but its just like the dumbass DJ's to replay the same songs from extremly talented bands and just wasted away some of their other recordings that could make it huge if given the chance

Ok i would like to say that i am totally in love with this band. And i am pisssed off that the radio only plays some of thier songs.(like fricken 2) Because most of thier music kicks fucking ass and think that it needs to be played more often. And even though they play the same song over and over again i dont even get tired of it. And Isaac has the best voice in the world...mmmmm my God! Its fucking the best thing ever.

Ever since i was a wee little child, Modest Mouse was the thing that kept me from dropping out of school. Even though Isaac Brock was on drugs for much of his life and never went to college, I didn't want to end up like that, even if his music kicks ass. But now that this new cd is pop, I want to be so much more like him: Dropping out of school, popping acid, tricking reporters into thinking that my band members and I ran over dogs for fun.

Well, i can't turn on the radio without hearing "Float on" every fifteen minutes, which is makes me laugh looking back at the early posts saying they'll never make it main stream. Its a shame, cause i don't think any of the other songs on Good News for People who love bad news will get any airplay, and they'll just fade back into indie obscurity. Lets hope so.

i would just like to say that modest mouse is my favorite band and that I have been listening to them for quite some time, i love their music, as it is different than everything else, and i would like to say that if modest mouse ever wanted to write poetry, they would be famous. but about this radio thing, i hope modest mouse is never played on the radio, and i do believe the band feels the same way. the last thing i want is to see modest mouse shirts at hot topic, that would make me sick. just picture looking around your school and seeing six kids wearing the same modest mouse shirt, when they havent ever really even listened to the band. so just think about what u say before u say they should be on the radio.

Modest Mouse rocks. The way this album was put together is amazing. Each song fits in it's own place perfectly. However I do not think it will make it into the mainstream...but you never know. I hope the band makes it as far as they want to go.

If you want proof that rock ain't totally headed toward a dead end, listen to this record. It's tuneful, adventurous, and even beautiful at times. I just wish there were more rock acts you could say this about today.

I've been listening to Modest Mouse since their second LP, Lonesome Crowded West. Their subject matter is all that new, and what they say about it has been said quite a bit by a lot of other bands. (For clarification, their message seems to be "Goddamn the world is fucked, and the suburbs are eating everything up, and I really don't like myself very much.")
That being said, Modest Mouse is probably the best band to say all those things. Issac Brock's wonderfully lipsy voice and his smart-ass-intellectual-with-bad-case-of-ennui lyrics are fantastic. Eric Judy's bass work is always interesting, never content to stay on the three note variations that so many other indie bands do. And Jeremy Davis simply beats the living shit out of his drums.
What mystifies me is that Epic went into this bidding war to pick up Modest Mouse, and now that they have them, they make no attempts to market them. While Modest Mouse certainly isn't mainstream, I think college students would eat this stuff up. And don't tell me that "A Different City" couldn't easily be on mainstream radio, albeit on the weird DJ's midnight show. While indie hipsters are already jumping on Modest Mouse for getting too "studio", I wish the boys the best of luck.

This album is amazingly artistic and beautiful, but i doubt that it will break through into the mainstream. It will likely create a large cult following, but the radio isn't smart enough to play modest mouse. Wait, it's not that the readio isn't smart enough, but people just don't have good taste in music anymore. The older generations do, but not the youth. I'm sixteen years old, and i'm one of the few teenagers with music tastes that haven't been tainted by mtv and carson daly.
