We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank - Modest Mouse

[The Germanator]

I'm a big Moon & Antarctica fan. That album is a classic to me. I'm kinda so so on the other stuff, but they are a good band.

Great album, probably the best.

I really can't stand Isaac Brock, at all. His singing grates on my nerves. It was great that they got the Shins guy in to do some singing, it really helped.

I think it's my favourite, though, because of the inclusion of Johnny Marr. I have a hard-on for The Smiths. I saw Modest Mouse live and it really made my year to see at least 1/4 of the smiths. Some of the songs turned out to be pretty catchy too.

My girlfriend's still a much bigger fan than I am, though. And somehow, she likes Isaac Brock.... how, I have no idea. Anybody can sing like they're drunk.

I love this album.
I bought it the day it came out, and when I listen to it, I have to listen in it's entirety.

I think it's the best Modest Mouse CD they've made.


I also love Issac Brock's voice.

I love Isaac Brock's voice too....but I will say their albums all have required time to grow on me. I would say his voice is acquired, but some people are just never going to like it. Which is fine......it's definitely one of "those voices."
