| Modest Mouse Definitively Ranked
My favourite band. | | 1 |  | Modest Mouse
The Lonesome Crowded West | | 2 |  | Modest Mouse
The Moon & Antarctica
Both this and Lonesome are fives, both rocked me to my core when I first caught them. Would need to write a review to justify their positions personally but I feel that's been tread by more accomplished writers already. | | 3 |  | Modest Mouse
Good News for People Who Love Bad News
Album doesn't get enough credit for being back to back jams. Think there's something of a backlash for Isaac's heavy shift towards Tom Waits inspiration; but I only find it grating on the releases following this, and it's all just so gorgeously catchy. | | 4 |  | Modest Mouse
This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About
Proto-Lonesome Crowded West, melancholy breakdowns m/ | | 5 |  | Modest Mouse
We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
Everything before this is a 4.5 minimum, this is like a 3/3.5. | | 6 |  | Modest Mouse
Strangers to Ourselves
The husk of Modest Mouse. | | 7 |  | Modest Mouse
Building Nothing Out of Something
EPs/Compilation Ranking. If it's not here then it's below the mentioned and I don't revisit it, Sad Sappy Sucker for one is exclusively for MM stans. | | 8 |  | Modest Mouse
Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks | | 9 |  | Modest Mouse
No One's First, and You're Next
Has some really stand-out tracks e.g. Whale Song, King Rat. | | 10 |  | Modest Mouse
Interstate 8
Only ranked low because I'd heard most of the songs previously on the LP release. | | 11 |  | Modest Mouse
The Fruit That Ate Itself
Has a really slick, low key feel to it. | | 12 |  | Modest Mouse
Night on the Sun
See Interstate. | | 13 |  | Modest Mouse
Baron von Bullshit Rides Again
Exempt from the ranking because it's a live album but definitely worth checking, really raw and the instrumental side tracking on some of your favourites is really rewarding.
However, when I saw them Isaac was a complete ass (I know he struggles with alcohol and is generally cantankerous so I wasn't altogether surprised), so I can't guarantee this'd be your experience. | |

12.09.18 | 4 below 3, that ain't right
12 has one of the best MM songs ever though | Pangea
12.09.18 | 4 below 3, that ain't right [2]
nice list otherwise | butcherboy
12.09.18 | band would be absolutely fucking incredible if it wasn't fronted by that voice-break pimpled kid who works at KrustyBurger on the Simpsons.. | SandwichBubble
12.09.18 | I'm reporting that post, butch | butcherboy
12.09.18 | hahahahaha.. this place is turning into a real Berlin circa '41.. underground dissident literature coming soon.. | hal1ax
12.09.18 | 3, 5 and 6 ranked higher than BNOoS is a travesty, as is 3 above This is a long drive | Source
12.09.18 | Great band | Ryus

12.09.18 | just close your eyes and let it take you away, like so much dramamine.. | Lucman
12.09.18 | Flip 1 and 2 and this is my exact ranking bar the non-LP material. | tom79
12.10.18 | I can dig this. 3 over 4 seems bold but tbh I listen to Good News more these days. | DirEnRefused
12.10.18 | hal1ax, read the LP and EP/Compilation rankings as separate i.e. BNOoS is my favourite non LP release, and it definitely hard tops both their last two albums. | Rowan5215
12.10.18 | fruit that ate itself goes underrated again RIP | DirEnRefused
12.10.18 | strong 3.5 agreed, the production's a lot better than some of the ones above it; i like my mm less polished most of the time | BikerMcWheels
12.10.18 | "The Lonesome Crowded West" is fucking epic |
