    I like LCW and M&A more, but it's pretty solid (especially the first half).

    Last MM show I saw they played Breakthrough, it fuckin rocked.

    "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 haven't heard this, but I wanted to comment that I think the title is really good.

    i think its better than lonesome crowded west, a little better than moon & antarctica, and much better than good news.

    you really can't go wrong with any early modest mouse records.

    I'm a huge fan of "Building Nothing Out of Something" though.

    i really like their song Broke. it is one of the most depressing songs i've heard. something about those opening chords.

    i still like interstate 8 too. i definitely liked their sound before better than their newer stuff.

    that's one of the most beautiful, simple songs i've ever heard. ever. Those opening bars (and the rest of the song) make me weep.

    Very very good album too, but I think Moon and Antartica and Lonesome Crowded West were a bit more solid.
