Good News is about on par with Long Drive for me, at the moment I'd put Good News juuuust a shade higher but both are still damn great albums

Also yeah The Ground Walks is a chune and a half

My brain wants to 5 this but my heart’s not ready yet.



But then I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t the best thing I’ve checked out in at least a year.

It's not quite a 5. The midsection drags quite a bit. TM&A is better imo

What midsection? The only slightly weaker section is tracks 9-11 and even those are all pretty great songs. And even those serve as a nice breather after the triple whammy of tracks 6-8.

Tracks 9-11 are slightly weaker to me but they're still good. Especially out of gas is a song i could never fall in love with the same way i love the other songs on here

long distance drunk isn't amazing as a stand alone drunk but i love the way it provides a respite in the context of the album

“Long Distance Drunk” isn’t amazing as a piece of songwriting but I still get some novelty enjoyment out of it.



“Out of Gas” in and of itself is better but it kinda sounds a bit too much like “Heart Cooks Brain” to me, the only sort of redundant moment on the album.

'Shit Luck' and 'Polar Opposites' are my least faves here



'Long Distance Drunk' is pre good!



'Out of Gas' is a little boring.

For me the weakness of this album - and why it's mos def worse than 'Moon' - is the second half is a bit too scrappy and far weaker than the first half.



I also prob prefer both halves of 'Moon' to the first half of this. 'Side B' of 'Moon' is an absolute jaw dropper



'Stars'/'Paper Thin'/'Lives'/'Life Like Weeds' - might all deserve top 20 Modest Mouse song billings

shit luck is unbelievably dope

i've been back and forth on which one i like more, but i think at this point its moon because of its cohesion and flow. b-side is incredible agreed
