4.0 excellentFUbrenden | July 9th 15

After Lonesome Crowded West they made this very fluid yet very destructive EP that showcases
Modest Mouse's experimental side. A deliciously chaotic break from their newer releases which are
much cleaner in their production and which lack the angst and emotion present on The Fruit That
Ate Itself.

The Mouse's most underrated release by far, Summer is one of my favorites of theirs

Bump

0.0 Mookid | January 3rd 14

Definitely not one of my favorite Modest Mouse records, mostly because of the variety. Even though this is an EP, it's somewhat lacking in the musical department (there are too many little musical "tails" like Sunspots, Way Down, etc), and there simply isn't enough flavor to keep it enjoyable.
