Awesome Jared. Could never get into these guys though. What are my chances of liking this if I don't like The Lonesome Crowded West?

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

^ honestly could be pretty high. LCW is a lot more divisive. album = *drool*

Album Rating: 5.0

you have to be worth something to like lonesome crowded west, otherwise just stick with m&a like the rest of the p4k crew

it's been said before but your promotion will be long past due when it inevitably happens soon- review is superb, I really enjoyed it

My friend force fed this album down my throat during a 12 hour drive to Georgia. Most painful ride of my life until we got there and i couldn't help but hum every song in order. Ace review as usual.

brock's lyrics/delivery here might be one of my favourites of any vocalist ever

i love how you start the review with a straight up track reference, that's very cool!

ashamed to say i've never heard any Modest Mouse (sorry), would i like them?/would this be a good place to start?

Album Rating: 5.0

everyone would like them and everywhere is a good place to start

^ probably, and this certainly isn't a bad place to start.

^^ I think there's a good chance you'd enjoy them. M&A is a good place to start, it's a good mix of their older (coughbettercough) sound and their newer, more accessible sound. Plus the very first track is one of their best.

haha lewis is so cute

i missed this review b ut you rock, jared observer man. it took me a few times to read the first sentence but then i realised it actually ruled. review is overall an incredible read, you bitch.

p.s. i dont remember listening to this beyond the first track

I think you'd really love this album, robin. And thanks, yeah I tried to summarize what was going on in the album overall through that song example, though it became a pretty big sentence.

i do really like the lonesome crowded west and so i downloaded pretty much everything else by them. but they have something abrasive about them (i'm guessing it's intentional :p) that ticks me off. i think you're probably right that i should give this a go tho

Album Rating: 4.0

Great review Jared but you forgot to mention the best track, and their best overall track, Gravity Rides Everything.

I love the song as I love the others. I wish I could have mentioned all of them, I guess

please dont yell at me =(
