The Golden Casket is probably my least favorite of their records (maybe ahead of Sad Sappy Sucker). I like it, but don’t love it.
Lampshades, ground walks, sugar boats, wicked campaign, the tortoise and the best room are all top tier MM
Not a fan of that album, but four of those songs are jams. One of my fav jams from these guys that is post WWDBTSES is The Whale Song. So fun
Almost all of No One's First is pretty great. I have TGC and STO level at this point but Ground Walks and Best Room are the two best tracks.
Looking at that tracklist, I'll go to bat from pretty much every song except "Wicked Campaign" lol. It's a strong record
Can't believe I'm in the minority for not liking it. To be fair, I don't think I've listened to it but once or twice when the record first came out.
i have always thought pistol was a total flop lol. a lot of strangers does not really do much for me these days
Pistol sort of encapsulates what I don’t like about newer MM. It’s real corny and sounds like something a villain in a kids movie would sing.
Modest Mouse have always been slightly corny. I don't get the kid's movie villain thing at all though.
The song is inspired by true events?? It literally just sounds like a better-produced track from Lonesome Crowded West or something lol
