I was gonna hold off on listening to any new stuff until the album actually came out, but I couldn’t resist. This one rules
yeah I spun good news yesterday for the first time in a while and it's still pretty much perfect. had for it to not be my 2nd favorite or at worst 3rd.
been listening to so much of their music lately after not really jamming them the last few years. from 96-00 they seriously were just unstoppable. i like all their albums outside of the golden casket but goddamn the three album run where they were just a three piece and all the surrounding eps and comps was such a special display of what just three people could come up with. tons of songs i adore on the following albums too ofc
I listened to Good News for what I believe was the first time a few days ago and I loved it. Before that, I only ever listened to The Moon & Antarctica and The Lonesome Crowded West, both albums I love so I’m not sure why I never really gave anything else a try.
i didnt throw good news in because it isnt a isaac / eric / jeremiah album and i was specifically talking about the chemistry between those three members and the way they explored that over the albums beforehand. it still rips tho lol i just picked it and wwd up on cd. so many great tunes, one chance and bury me with it been stickin to me a lot i like we were dead even more, takes all the best parts about good news and tightens them while dropping all the worst parts. i think it might be their most consistent tracklist even if i prefer long drive through moon also no ones first is a masterclass ep
think modest mouse have been the only music ive jammed all weekend, its also not been a good weekend lmao. one of those bands that is able to hold me together when nothing else can yesterday i got like 8 of their cds and long drive on vinyl lmao. def wanna try and go to a listening event for this one
Definitely been on a MM kick lately to avoid overplaying the singles before the album release. Picking Dragon's Pockets is so damn good IMO. The new song give me M&A vibes. Anyway, listened to The Golden Casket yesterday and still don't get the hate for that album. It's not perfect but it has a lot of good stuff on it. I have high hopes that this will be their best album in 2 decades.
It's a little sad when you remember that "best album in 2 decades" means it would be better than only 3 albums
I know lol. I had to look back and see when "We Were Dead" came out to come up with "2 decades" lol. I don't believe you they will top M&A, LCW, or Good News, but it's possible to top "We Were Dead."
