Customer comments on this selection.
 Fading urgencies
The follow up to their breakout album is neither outstanding nor terrible, often straddling a muddled line between trademark jarring, off-kilter sensibilities and radio-friendly catchiness with a more self-conscious approach then how they effortlessly merged that duality in the past. Brock's vocals, now contrived when it used to sound unhinged, affirms how the group still may be capable of creating music from solid ingredients, though rarely combine all the flavors in satisfying measures.
 Good music!
Like most other Modest Mouse records, this is an excellent disc, if erratic. It hits on most songs though, and I like it. It's more poppy than their previous releases, but I still think it's a good sound. Four stars.
Good buy minus one little scratch
I bought this item "like new" assuming the cd would be scratch and skip free, but unfortunately it skips on the last song every time. I can deal with the one scratch for the price though.
 Spitting Truth
Ever since a good friend introduced me to Modest Mouse, I've been hooked. This album is a shoe-in. I love the attention "Spitting Venom" is getting in these reviews as it is my favorite on this album-barely beating "Dashboard"
I think this album is good for newcomers, while longtime fans will select their favorites and leave the rest for a later mood. I would like to say that Brock's social commentary is something like candy for me. If you like it check out The Lonesome Crowded West and The Moon And Antarctica.
Great, even for die-hard fans!
I am a die-hard fan myself. I have all the albums, and i love every single one. This one, one of the best. I never looked at this, "a shot at mainstream". This is another great album by the best band on earth. It's different, but not desperate. This is still Isaac Brock.
