LCW forever

 

also im gonna get crucified but it's kind of a chore for me to get through m&a

 

Can't agree with that, M&A is almost as good as LCW for me.

My hot take is that Good News is mostly not very good. Like the debut and probably We Were Dead more.

 

Moon is the correct answer. Good news is great.

 

Voted LCW, but wouldn’t argue with Moon.

I have the opposite take on Good News: secretly way underrated.

 

Lonesome and it’s not particularly close for me.

 

Moon, but honestly Building Nothing Out of Something is my #1 if it counted as a proper album.

 

It's definitely Moon. That album is a perfect transitional peak between their old.material and newer, pop-oriented stuff. Hardly a wrong answer here though, any album but Strangers to Ourselves (which I still enjoy) could take it on any given day. One of the best, most consistent indie rock bands of all time.

 

if building nothing were a proper LP it would be tied w/ LCW for me.

 

Moon
LCW
Good News (could be second when I feel more in the mood for hi-fi MM)
We Were Dead (still a 9/10)
Long Drive
Building Nothing (still an 8/10)
Strangers

 

going with moon bc stars are projectors is particularly immense but lcw is a very close second

 

Somewhere between Moon and Good News for me. I hated this band for the longest time because the first song I downloaded was that damn Ping Pong song and it ruined them for me lol

 

I need to do a full listen of their discography. I love enough songs without ever having fully dived in.

 

prob Moon but thirding or fourthing the Building Nothing from Something love, incredible compilation

with a small tracklist shift We Were Dead would be top tier for me

 

They are a top 3 band for me.

 

moon, lcw a v close second, good news a v close third

 

Ping pong song? Lol

personally I like the Ping Pong song more than Pistol

 

Pistol is good.

 

Ah, the one Modest Mouse release even I don't listen to lol

But yeah, "Pistol" is good
