Modest Mouse:Still Just Floating On?

Posted over 5 years ago
more then a week ago XRT, a radio station here in chicago, played modest mouse's new single, dashboard. i was at work in an echoy bakery and it was difficult to hear. but i felt disappointed. tonight i happened upon it online and gave it an actual listening to. i'm still not all that impressed. i keep coming across posts whinging about the modest mouse past. they want the modest mouse we were listening to years ago. i loved it then and even now, but they needed to grow. good news for people who love bad news was fantastic. i am glad it was so well received. two years after it came out without any new modest mouse i was beginning to fear that when we did get some, it would be stuck in their recent success.with the release of this song i worried my concern was just.i am still going to buy the album. i am still going to listen to it. i just wanted something new and so far i am not convinced i am going to get what i crave.how many times did they push the release of this album back?anybody disagree?

  1. annnna says yeah, i don't think it's that horrible but i don't think it's amazing either. waiting for the full album to judge completely.

  2. EricS37 says i loved it then and even now, but they needed to grow. I agree with you on this. If a band puts out a great album, then a year later puts out another album that sound the same, They have failed as artist. I havn't heard the new modest mouse song, I'll have to give it a listen.

  3. that1guy says I did not and still do not like Good News... This new song is decent as long as I forget that its Modest Mouse. Their past albums sounded nothing like each other, but they were all equally fantastic albums. Their sound changed for the worse. I will also buy the new album, but just out of habit.
