i mean if you think tv on the radio is electronic then sure, tv on the radio = modest mouse, also the only difference between radiohead and trophy scars is that trophy scars isnt electronic

This song's pretty par for the course

Didn't really listen to the lyrics so maybe those are awesome. But I've certainly heard worse MM dance tracks. Many, many worse.

Veldin

1. I view Sad Sappy Sucker as less of a MM release and more of Isaac fucking around on his own
accord.
2. Dance Hall is an amazing Pixies-esque song
3. This song feels like a b-side from Good News that wasn't even good enough for the "No One's
First" compilation. Doesn't help that the lyrics make me cringe.

Like We Were Dead, I'm hoping this is the "Dashboard" of the record and their lead single because everything else is less marketable and more traditional quirky MM.

The funky guitar is kinda like that one on "Lounge (Closing Time)". its catchy as hell yeah. But variety = zero and lyrics = generic. still 7/10 and nothing disappointing at all. could fit in the context of the album really well
