Great album, but Amazon sucks.
It just some horns blaring for 11 seconds. The 11 second lead in track should be free, not 99 cents. .


A truly disappointing record
However, as an artist, I nonetheless respect him, and really enjoy the overall sound of his band. MODEST MOUSE
GOOD NEWS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE BAD NEWS
EPIC; 2003

MY RATING: 38/100

Isaac Brock and I would not see eye-to-eye on a lot of things; we view the world through exceedingly different lenses. I've been spinning Mouse records since `97 or so, and the first four years of the band's recorded output providing something of a soundtrack to the aimless nights of my youth. His early records in particular, though bitter and a bit twisted, bore an indelible melodic sweetness and sympathy underneath the rough exterior that belied a deep and unique soulfulness on his part. What I'm trying to say is that I speak as a fan. However, I'm sad to say that MM's fourth album is a monotonous screed of depraved bitterness and metaphysical angst, with the soul of it all and the sense of humor markedly absent. It's not like I haven't tried. I REALLY dig "Float On," and I chuckled when I saw it covered in a FORD commercial on American Idol. Similiary, "Blame it on the Tetons" is as pathetically righteous a track as "Custom Concern" or "Trailer Trash," so I gotta respect. But that's about it. "Ocean Breathes Salty" might have been a strong b-side, but it's just a bit too disonant to register as single-quality Mouse. "The Good Times Are Killing Me" sounds promising, but fails to deliver in the way "Styrofoam Boots" did on THE LONESOME CROWDED WEST. You can have the rest; there's just not a whole lot here to get excited about. A truly disappointing record.
