Modest Mouse - The Golden Casket (June 25, 2021) • Page 2

I don't think I got through the entirety of Strangers to Ourselves more than once, so the bar is pretty low.

 

Weak single. Can't say I'm too surprised. I'll always love this band, but they've been running on fumes for a while.

 

Decent song. Would fit perfectly on We Were Dead...so I wouldn't mind if that is an accurate representation of the album.

I really want this album to be good. I don't want Modest Mouse to go down the Pixies path of embarrassment.

 

Embarrassment seems a bit extreme for the run they've had lol

 

Ok, I'll give you Beneath the Eyrie, if only because "Catfish Kate" is a good song but Indie Cindy and Head Carrier are absolutely atrocious.

 

Oh no, I meant Modest Mouse lol I mean I don't think Head Carrier is atrocious but I'll give you Indie Cindy and everything after being relatively toothless

 

Dope

 

Yeah I like this song.

 

I like the single

 

Ok. Yeah, I just did not like Strangers to Ourselves at all and the standalone singles have been bad. I'm cool if they do the more polished sound of We Were Dead. I think some of the fanbase is too close-minded and will dismiss anything new they do because it's not as '90s sounding, but to me Strangers to Ourselves just had nothing going for it.

 

It’s been the longest 6months to a year since their last album. Excited for it

 

I think the song is passable. That’s about it.

 

Single is very safe but I dig it

 

I like it

 

I got really into mm in 07 and may have listened to a different band 3 or 4 times total that first summer with their discography. After numerous failed attempts to catch them live a friend of mine at the time finally, somehow secured tickets to this show that had instantly sold out. Still remember him calling to tell me so long after I gave up lol. Concert was an all timer top 2 or 3 for me personally. Also had the most wild mushrooms and mdma combo on the subway heading into the city and came on super hard 10 minutes before they opened with 3rd planet. Goosebumps thinking about those first few notes, my eyes were closed 80% of the time and it didn't even matter


today is a great day, love you all

 

Definitely sounds like optimal timing + chemical enhancement.

 

Single is enjoyable, always happy to get new MM. I may be in the minority that didn't totally hate Strangers... lots of good shit on there I think! This seems to fit in quite well with that bunch. I do miss all the emo shouty weirdness, though.

 

Howdy, folks!

I am “here” for this!

 

fun song

 

I just spun STO tonight and honestly, still slaps. Certainly not their greatest, but still insanely enjoyable.

 

New song is great. Also the album cover changing on Apple Music is freaking me out.

 

Also I don’t understand being a modest mouse fan and not liking lampshades on fire, the ground walks, the tortoise and the tourist or the best room.

 

Woah I hadn’t noticed that! Really trippy and cool

 

Fun song, I dig it

 

I don’t mind the music, can’t stand the way the vocals are mixed though.
