We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank - Modest Mouse

[Dyne]

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.
