DANG, the new Modest Mouse album, We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank, is so flippin’ good, I couldn’t wait any longer to post something from it. I haven’t read any reviews or reactions yet so I don’t know how everyone else feels about the album, but I can’t imagine anyone not loving it. (Unless you didn’t like Modest Mouse in the first place but we can’t do anything about that.) It’s beautiful, wild, fun, angry and sad – it seems to me that Isaac Brock is a man who truly understands and feels the entire range of human emotions and expresses them like no one else, often all within one song. I’m not into writing a proper review of We Were Dead … , at least not right now, but if I did, it would be positively glowing.
If you need any incentive to go buy the album yourself, have a listen to this. Pretty much every track on this album is, of course, fantastically good, but this one has all the little things I love about Modest Mouse in one song.
