"The Good Times Are Killing Me", "Black Cadillacs", "Float On" (of course), and " The World at Large" are my favorites. I listen to the album so much, people at PRL already hate it. :D

gnfpwlbn is a good cd but float on got annoying about the 200th time. if you say you are a 'real' modest mouse fans can you name any of there other cds, such as moon and antarctica, lonsome crowded west, building nothing out of something, everywhere and his nast parler tricks, this is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about, the fruit that ate itlself, sad sappy sucker, whenever you see fit, interstate 8, and isaacs (lead singer) side project ugly casanovas cd sharpon your teeth, before you go saying your a 'real fan' find something other than there only mainstream album and experiance there great albums.

You must remember I simply said I am a fan! And you should be happy more people are finding out about the band. I know sometimes long time fans hate it when their fav band goes mainstream but....that is life.

I just found this band about a month ago.

Never heard of them before, except for Float On, but never paid close enough attention.

In 30 days I got every album and love MoonandAntarcitca, which is like a Sgt Peppers album too me, phenomonal.

Yeah, it kind of sucks that a band you loved is now going mainstream, I know how you feel. But when you find a band that is really good, you want everyone to know about it.

And I am surprised how few people know of this band.

yeah im glad my boys at modest mouse are going big though you guys should defenanty cheak out moon and antarctica if you like good news. m&a is a masterpeice cheak it out.

Exactly you put it perfect, lonsome crowded west kicks ass too.

You want to hear real music? Forget the moon & antarctica (although phenomenal) and gnfpwlbs (which is beaten to death), there best album is "this is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about" or try their EP Interstate 8 (w/ their best song EVER!!!!, EDIT THE SAD PARTS). DO IT. WHY? CUZ I SAID SO!!!).

i think fans are afraid to say it but "good news" is just not that good. i LOVE MM but "GN" came out and i wanted to cry. i thought what the HELL. i just pray this is a phase and not THE NEW Modest Mouse, they are coming to town and i be there frount and center, but i will go get snacks when they play Float on. ps:i do loveBlack Cadillacs & bukowski! but far from there best

?????????????????????????????Mighty Mighty Bosstones???????????????????????
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MM is insane!!!!!!!!

the kid who said you are only a fan if you know all their albums. you have phenomenal grammer, and also, you should probably look up how to correctly spell the album titles (ex. parler? lonsome? sharpon?) please continue to rip on other posters, as i will do to you for you lack of common sense. thank you.

ALRIGHT, i'm not sure if this is old or what but the fact is Good news isn't that bad of a cd, and Jason just because you know everything about em doesn't mean your suddenly cool. I know and love the mouse...an i promise you that the next mouse cd will not sound like good news, see cause weikel begin to drum for them when jeramiah green left, and that crushed the sound. Plus they signed on to epic, that porbably wasn't too smooth, but i would garuntee the next mouse cd sounds like m&a...atleast this fan hopes so

i love this band. its great. i enjoy watching their wideos. Especially the lead singer, (sorry i dont know his name) he is a cutie. thanks that is all i had to say. c-ya!

I'd like to start out by saying that Modest Mouse is probaly one of the best indie bands to ever form and they're one of my personal favorites (even though I'm not a life long fan). Anyways, I do agree that after losing Jeramiah their sound did change drastically. And even though it can't compare to their earlier recordings (Lonesome Crowded West, This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, Moon & Antarctica, Buliding Something Out of Nothing, ect.) 'Good News' is still a great album and anybody who says "Float On" sucks can bite me. I do hope their current drummer either gets better or they ditch him for a better one so they can go back to more of their old sound... that is unless Epic forces them to continue with their more 'mainstream' sound.

... you know on second thought I take back what I said about Epic Records, because they did produce 'The Moon & Antarctica' which is an amazing album.

i've just been truned on to MM, and have only heard (and purchased) GNFPWLBN but will def be cking out the others ;)

modest mouse rocks. i love all their music.
it just so heart felt. read the lyrics and its pretty sad.

I love modest mouses old stuff and ugly casanova is amazing. My question is, WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO COME OUT W/ ANOTHER CD?!?!?!??! If anyone knows any news about any new cds please email me. OSsportscardsandcomics@inbox.com

I heard from numerous sites that there new cd will come out early 2006

who the hell cares if they go mainstream or not. why bitch about float on.i love modest mouse. why can't we just love them, and be thankful we were all bleesed enough to be touched by thier music. you people need lives. i haven't been touched like this by music since nirvana and the rolling stones. i'm glad thier mainstream now, if they weren't, living in my tiny ass town, i may have never heard them before. and i may have never been able to watch them in radio city music hall. that was probably one of my most cherished nights.and now they are up there as something i lean to when i'm hurting.and yeah if you guys don't know about ugly cassanova i'd buy that , you'll love that too. she shaw, she shaw.

...modest mouse is the worst band ever!...and now that they're mainstream even "worser!"...I feel sorry for anyone who thinks this is good music!...if you want to hear a real musical masterpiece check out >Frequency Fall<...they will change your life and the way you feel about the sucky Modest Mouse!...trust me!!!...they will!!!

Modest Mouse has been my favorite band for the past five plus years - absolute favorite album is 'this is a long drive...' but I pretty much will listen to any of them. I will say their last album, uh, didn't 'do it for me' and hope (selfishly) that the next one is more to my liking. Although I love Float On and their video for it.

I have no problem with my favorite band going mainstream - I didn't discover them, wasn't their first fan, and I think good music should be shared with everyone.

As for someone stating Modest Mouse is the 'worst band ever' - I'm all for having your own opinion, but not exaggerating. Seriously...are they worse than Ace of Base? Worse than Everclear? Worse than Chumbawumba, Scorpion, Taking Back Sunday, The Rolling Stones, Cold, Limpbiskit, the Dave Matthews Band, Everything But The Girl, Garbage, No Doubt...I could go on but seriously. If you don't like them, that's fine and understandable. But they are not the worst band 'ever'...such an exaggeration.

i guess id say i became a fan, after float on was on t.v. , but modest mouse is my favorite band, they have better things to talk about the smack'n bitches and pop'n caps, trailor trash and polar opposites, and pretty much the whole c.d. of building nothing out of something, i listen to all day at work, they really think outside the box

son lo amximo

Everything that has come from anywhere near Isaac Brock is perfect. period.

still waiting for that new cd...

thanx to every one who has shared thier opinions on modest mouse. they are my favorit band as well. iv been listening to them for so long. i have all of there albums. all are great! i cant ever decide which one to put on first. to every one reading this, u should share this music with a friend and help spread thier great sound! people, keep sharing ur opinions.

"OPINIONS WERE LIKE KITTENS I WAS GIVIN THEM AWAY"

im a fan of modest mouse who heard float on on a cd i got with mojo and had to go out and buy that album. it was so good i then i bought the moon and antartica and was blown away. m&A is a lot better than good news, and i cant wait to buy their other albums whe i get money. when is the new album coming out? anyone know? and any reccomendationns of which album to get next? I was thinking the lonesome crowded west

thaks, i got the lonesome crowded west, and its incredible. as an album it isnt as good as M & A, but i prefer the songs on it to be honest. Its brilliant, well worth it, thanks again.

hey punt, it was a good choice gettin lonesome crowded west... that album is so good. You should definatly check out "Ugly Casanova" which is a band with the modest mouse lead singer in it they are really good... i got the album for christmas. Please if anyone has any info on a new modest mouse cd post it thanks.

I really didnt read allthe post but i saw the dude who named some albums and i say the fruit who ate it self is awesome but that might just be me and o ya ugly casanova :Sharpen ur teeth is the only album sadly im pretty sure that side projest was kicked to the curb but hey i could be wrong

also i think its so funny to see people chatting bout a band they get so serious just remember there just a band a great band that i really love but a band all the same they will not change ur day to day living plus they are an easy going band so ease up on all the serious crap! i love u all btw

THese guys rock.....i got gnfpwlbn cause i was bored of what music i liked, and i am so grateful for that
then i got lonesome crowded west then i caught the fever
i also got ugly casanova

how did this band pick their name?

If you want to know how they got their name and all other fun facts about the mouse, you should check out their section on wikipedia.com. Also, I went and saw holopaw (containing a member of ugly casanova) this past fall and I was told personally that if there is to be a new uc album, then the fate pretty much rests on the state of isaac and what his plans are in the future. last note: I read a blip on the web (a real reliable source!) that jeremiah said that the new mouse album could come out anytime in the near future. Keep fingers crossed!

Also, you guys should check out Vells. it is jeremiahs newer other band. they are interesting and highly enjoyable to me at least. Check em out if curious you may find a hidden gem.

I heard from the radio station (1077.7 The End) that I listen to, that Modest Mouse is working on another CD and that they plan to release it sometime this year or the beginning of next year. Sadly, thats all that I heard. I don't know what their newest CD is called. I hope to hear more news on the band soon.

Ok, once was enough buddy...thank you for that amazing information you provided.

does anyone know how to get sad sappy sucker, fruit that ate itself or ep's without buying online thanks, and i think lonesome crowded west is the best cd ever, styrofoam boots is an awesome song

if you have a "borders" store near you, ive seen Sad Sappy Sucker there. But otherwise in my opinion the best place is Ebay.

Who's "them?"

The new ablum will be called "We were already dead before the ship sunk." or "We were already dead before the ship went under." Something along those lines. Plus they got a new guitar player. The guitarist from The Smiths.

according to Metacritic.com ( http://www.metacritic.com/music/upcomingreleases.shtml ) the new album "We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank" will be out December 19. Consider it an early Christmas present.

Nice find

I love isaac brock's crazy live moments. http://modestmouselive.zeromethos.com/ He has these moments that pull me in so deep i feel like im floating in the music. His message is burned in his music and gets to my heart and brain and its just crazy sometimes. if anyone knows any other crazy genious musicians who are all heart, email me at jamesb2@umbc.edu. If you want to really feel his message listen to the live shows at that site, especially the 1998 and 1999 performances. My favorite is Stars are Projectors from the Speak in tongues concert. Give it a real listen.

i am rooted in hop hop and know all the underground artists on the scene. i recently copped some mp3s of modest mouse and was blown back and now i have all their cds. As an artist i know art is a gift and is meant to share. if an artist goes mainstream it is because they are good.

Austin City Limits — PBS’s long-running music showcase — will feature Modest Mouse on July 28, 2007 (check local listings). This encore episode will also feature Guided By Voices. Please feel free to link to the show’s Web site for photos, song list and more.
