That's what I think, even though hearing the evolution of their sound would be awesome. I started with TM&A and it is definitely my fave MM.

LCW is mine, but the first time I heard it I wasn't really ready. Loved TM&A from the first notes of third planet.

That works, but be ready for a few duds on that album. Opens incredibly strong, though.

Be warned though, the early stuff is pretty raw even if it is fantastic.

Isaac Brock might be my favourite lyricist ever, honestly. so clever, meaningful and emotional.

This Is a Long Drive is the best Modest Mouse album. The "duds" are meant to be jarring and abstract, especially songs like Dog Paddle and Might.

Might is one of the best songs on that album.

I like this album a lot. In the minority here but I like it just as much as LCW, but not more than TM&A..



This album is great, favorite tracks: Parting of the Sensory, Spitting Venom, Steam Engenius and Fire It Up.
