To the arrogant lad under this post | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/14/09 Youre the quintessence of hypocrisy my good man. You act as if you have something to defend or attack. These posts are all simple opinions of the bands choice in music. Although I'm against this users comment "anyone who thinks modest mouse is better now than they were before good news is a shitty fan", do not group people who prefer a more melancholy sound with people who unjustfully post naive garbage. thanks. Fucking stupid modest mouse "fans" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/24/08 okay guys..everyone who left a comment is a fuckin idiot.. dont talk about MM now and diss their music if your a fan of the fuckin band you inbreds, it makes no sense, i see you guys downtalk them all over the web. epic records fell apartt, hence their breakup, get back together, new band members. Isaac brock got tired of writing sad shit and wanted to grow up and get over it cause he knew everyone else was. the newer albums kick just as much ass as the older ones, just not so dark in meaning. so if i hear one omore fuckin comment from you assholes calling modest mosue shit when you speak so higg of them 10 years ago...ill say that again...20 years ago.. GET OVER IT YA SAD SAPPY SUCKER AND LEARN TO KNOW YOUR HISTORY OF A BAND BEFORE YOU TALK SHIT. tthanks for making me get pissed all over again ya douchebags Understanding the slip? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/14/08 I have to agree that modest mouses older music is by far better than its newer music is. Though the new music does hold its place among some of the greats out there. it just seems the lyrics have just been slipping a little over the years. Then again maybe I've been slipping over the years. Custom Concern is the greatest song ever! new modest sucks | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/14/08 anyone who thinks modest mouse is better now than they were before good news is a shitty fan. just because the recording quality is better (because theyre famous now) doesnt mean the music is. Their earlier albums are consistent- every song is good. their new albums are trying to be too poppy and half of the songs suck. lots of people | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/18/08 talk about how it's so sad and they can relate to the disconnection of a relationship. all isaac's lyrics are about irony and paradoxes. in this song, he means nothing more than to convey the importance of not always relying on so many stimuli and other people to keep you happy. what helps? | Reviewer: Lauren | 6/29/08 Poignant or shmoignant...there is no true lesson on love here,,, this is just another way that modest mouse's lyrics attack life...embrace the sadness that comes along with having to know so much, endure so much in this short time....dealing with corporate bullshit, trying to understand the fundamentals.....listening to modest mouse takes you on a head trip that is hard to come by these days......"Henri you dance like a wooden indian............................" An oldie-but-goodie. | Reviewer: kazaru | 11/2/07 This is a great song to listen to when you're going through a drifting-apart breakup that proceeds like cancer. It's also a great song otherwise, and I'm pretty pleased to say that even if they don't sound as abjectly miserable nowadays, Modest Mouse has actually become steadily better through the years.
