People just hate on it because it's their most mainstream album

yes, because mainstream means a lot like other popular artists

that doesn't make it bad, i think it's a great album but that doesn't mean i love the direction they've chosen personally

We Were Dead was more accessible, but didn't necessarily conform to mainstream ideals. Maybe I could have worded that better. Either way, it's the most enjoyable of their post-Antarctica records if you ask me.

Half of We Were Dead is enjoyable pop hits and half weird songs, some of which are pretty annoying. It's probably their weakest for me, despite having one of their best songs Spitting Venom and enjoying most of it.

We Were Dead is over hated for sure. But I would be happy if they did another style change on the next album.

I wanted to write this album, and I successfully restrained myself, so that's no excuse tbh.

He never had a chance, Itchy. Toondudes 1-9 were the glory days.

Quick thoughts:

Pistol is the worst Modest Mouse song ever.

The Ground Walks sounds like a prior Modest Mouse song, but I can't put my finger on it.

This is a solid album, definitely not anywhere near their best, or above average.

Disappointed that no songs show any sign of 'adventure,' other than Pistol and that song blows.

pistol is gr8 [2]



The Ground Walks sounds very adventurous to me, reminds me of Dashboard, The View, and The Stars Are Projectors all in one
