This is easily the most excited I have been about an album immediately after it's realese in at at least a year and a half. I don't know if it will keep my interest, but it is pretty amazing thus far
I've been listening to it non-stop for over a month and I still can't get enough!
"I'll do whatever the song dictates - if it doesn't need a real lead, then I won't do one. But if it does, then I'll fuckin' go off." - Mike
"Japan is awesome; the fans there knew all the words to all the songs...at least phonetically." - Stone
"I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version." - EV
I love this album. I can usually chime in with some kind of criticism but this album is the real deal. James Mercer contributing is just icing on the cake. We've Got Everything is the perfect springtime, driving with the windows down kind of song. I haven't read a lot of love for People As Places As People. I think that along with Missed The Boat are the album highlights in an album already filled with highlights.
Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

People As Places As People may be my favorite track on the album. All 3 Mercer tracks are excellent, although I like "Florida" & "We've Got Everything" both a bit more than "Missed the Boat." "Little Motel" and "Fly Trapped in a Jar" are the only two tracks I don't really, really like.

A lot of great stuff came out at once... at least was leaked at once... i'd have to say I'm still puttin the new Kings of Leon over Modest Mouse.... but Mouse definitely over Arcade Fire (although a great record)!
Yeah I got the KOL album a week or two after MM and I haven't put MM back on yet. It was a veryyyyy good record, but KOL blew it away.
Neon Bible by Arcade Fire still my favorite album of the year, but this album is very good. I just got into MM over the past month, but I'm hooked now. The addition of Johnny Marr to the band really shows and shines on this album- he adds a funk to songs like 'Fly Trapped in a Jar' and 'Education' that really works. My favorite song off this one would have to be both 'Education' and 'Parting of the Sensory.'

I really enjoy this album a lot. Spitting Venom and Parting of the Sensory are still my favs but i like pretty much every song on the album for what it is.

A testament to a good album in my opinion is when your favorite track keeps changing the more you listen to it. I'm on song 4 right now, first it was Fire it Up, then Spitting Venom, then Missed the Boat and now it's on People as Places.
great grower album for sure.. my favorites are always changing... i would say overall though Parting of the sensory would be the favorite... that song is up there with doin the cockroach as my favorite mm song
Great Album!!! i just bought we were dead before the ship sank last night, and i can't get enough. Honestly i bought it because of Marr, but i am totally blown away. the first few songs are ok- but From Florida on, it's on fire.
My fav song is Fly trapped in a jar... Marr fits in well, unlike someone else said ,i can hear him loud and clear ,in a handful of songs...
now on the top of list for cd's to buy is Moon and Antarctica-thx

I bought this album earlier this spring when it first came out. This was the first time I heard MM. Now I love them and after getting all of their albums I must say there older stuff is a lot better than GNFPWLBN and We Were Dead.....
Not saying those two albums are not good but I just like their other style better....I don't wanna say less mainstream but you know what I mean.
