MODEST MOUSE - GOOD NEWS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE BAD NEWS ALBUM

Not Faded, Nor Running out of Thread | Reviewer: Micah Brackenn | 7/7/2004

It's been a long, journey for the band known as Modest Mouse. Good News For People Who Love Bad News has managed to grab all sorts of people's attentions. Old time Modest Mouse fans, alternative rock fans and MTV. Wait...did I say MTV? Yes, MTV is showing the brilliant, "Float On" music video. People are requesting it on TRL. And people are buying the albums because of this. They are becoming popular. This is not a bad thing, it has opened peoples minds to a broader sense of Rock and Roll. But the Album itself is wonderful.

Songs like Float On, Ocean Breathless Salty, Black Cadillacs and One Chance are the only slightly happier sounding songs on the album. The rest of the songs are mostly melancholy, thus, the album is true to its name. It casts you gently into a colorful but not cheery world. Very enjoyable. I give it a 7.1
