    Dammit, the only full album posted on youtube has no sound. :(

    But there are 5 songs up. Pretty good IMO. Really want to hear the whole thing, but so far I think it sounds good enough to buy.

    Sent you the download code from my album.

    Is it a one-time DL, or can you share it?

    I also really like the 5 songs that I've heard, with the radio single being my least favorite of them. Need to hear the rest

    Sorry, it is a one time code. If she doesn't want to use it for whatever reason I will send it on to you. I also ordered it on itunes(really wanted the songs as soon as possible) and the whole album is already available there.

    I was going to get if from Glacier Pace but I wasn't sure if I'd get the 7" with it so I went the Newbury route

    Good call. The regular pressing doesn't have the 7" as far as I can tell by the one I just received (I don't really do singles, but I know they're a great bonus for people who do!).

    I heard the new single on the radio last night, I turned to my wife and said, "When was the last time you heard a new Modest Mouse song?"

    For a limited time they had the single with the vinyl purchase, now they have a different single with vinyl purchase, decided to get myself a back up copy.

    Oh, btw, i didn't know I'd have the album so soon after righteousbabe offered the download code! I decided to buy it after listening to that download. :) So now I have a code and am paying it forward. Who wants it? (Edit: taking it over to RAK for the views).

    How's the record sound? I gave this just a passing listen on iTunes, but enough to spark my interest in a physical copy.

    I love the last couple from these guys, especially the last one. Really sad to see Johnny Marr not stick around. He raised the guitar texturing another level in a really cool way.

    The Moon And Antarctica has its moments, but the earlier stiff is a little rough to me.

    I'm spinning it right now. It sounds fantastic. :)

    It's good but not great. You can read my thoughts here. It's pretty heavily produced, but I do prefer their older stuff. A few standouts like "The Ground Walks, "Coyotes", and "Tortoise and Tourist" but some of the new stuff they tried I wish they wouldn't have. "Pistol" is hard to swallow and should be a b-side and "Wicked Campain" is too cheesy for me, it sounds like something The Killers or top 40. Too much synth. I miss the lo-fi stuff but I'll always take new Modest Mouse, still super excited to see them live and hear the new tracks I do enjoy.

    I think it's great (I agree that Wicked Campaign is very reminiscent of The Killers, but I liked it for that), but I definitely still think that their best album already happened years ago.
