| In this, their best album thus far, Modest Mouse manage to pull off one non-stop hour of their psychedelic-tinged art-pop. Rough hooks and catchy lyrics come together to create something totally without comparison in the world of indie. Beginning with one of the most inviting set of openers, plunging into a mid-section of bittersweet melancholy, and ending with a symmetrically inspiring set of closers, this album, from start to finish, is one of the seminal albums of the post-2000 music world. |
