Favorite Modest Mouse Record?

[A Love American]

I've seen every possible answer given for this question. Let's see what is the most popular (probably Lonesome Crowded West?

[A Love American]

I'm deciding between Moon, Lonesome, and Long Drive right now.

[DjJazzyGeoff]

I don't see the point in putting all these records, it's gonna end up being the moon or lonesome

[A Love American]

I do not want people telling me I'm missing any albums. And any one of these could be someone's favorite. I know Building is Rawrr's favorite.

[gonfreaks]

Moon and Antarctica.

[Twizx]

You do realize that there's a forum to put polls in?

[Cuddleworthy]

Really tough call between Moon and Lonesome....went with Lonesome though.

[A Love American]

Yes, Twizx, I do, but those polls get no responses. Fuck off.

[Twizx]

Fuck off.

Rodger that.

Edit: voted for good news by the way.

[IWasaCamera]

Moon.

[A Love American]

I think I agree... I still don't know. Moon is obviously their best, but LCW gets to me sometimes. Moon is obviously the best lyrically, but again, LCW just has some undefinable quality to it (to me, anyway). I still need time to decide.

[Blake Solomon]

i haven't heard them all, but mine is Lonesome Crowded West. It has such an amazingly coherent vibe to it, even if some of the songs sound so different from each other. In my opinion, it's a stroke of genius.

[Osto]

Either LCW or Moon depending on my mood, right now. It's LCW.


I think it was a little unneeded to put down as many options as you did. I mean, a few of them overlap with eachother (Interstate 8, Building Nothing) and a few are some that no one is seriously going to pick and if they do they deserve a punch in the face (Blue Cadet, Everywhere and His Nasty Parlor Tricks)

Not in order by release, or at least alphabetical? Not going too care.

[wtfmates]

I'd go with Lonesome Crowded West. I love nearly all of their albums, but I've always had a soft spot for that one. It was the first one that really got me into them, and Jesus Christ is an Only Child and Cowboy Dan are two of their best songs.

What is this?

Order by type of release - Full Album, EPs, Compilations.

Moon, obviously the best lyrically? No fucking way

[Tautou107]

LCW will always be my favourite, but I may be biased because it was the one that got me into them and because it reminds me of certain memories/people.

[SlappedActor]

Moon & Antarctica

[bowl of oranges]

Moon, by far.

[Burn That Shit]

sweet bump.

lonesome crowded west.

[SophGod]

i guess i should check out Lonesome Crowded West then huh. all i've heard is We Were Dead and Good News.

[Alex1410]

I've only got the lonesome crowded west, I've not heard anything else. Which should I check out next?

[_><_]

Good News for People Who Love Bad News

[drummergirl6]

I've only heard Moon & Antarctica (which I voted for) and Good News...both solid albums. Definitely gonna check out Lonesome Crowded West.

[GuitarR0cker1]

The Moon & Antarctica but Lonesome Crowded West comes close.

[Tautou107]

The Moon & Antarctica

[Brian_Bad_News]

it's Long Drive hands down. first and most raw. it's one hell of a first record. most bands would kill to have their first album to be as well rounded. the lyrics are strong and music is original. indie at it's best.

[blebbio]

The Moon & Antarctica easily for me.

[will_to_burn]

Going to say Good News as of now. Mainly because I love multiple tracks on that record, but don't fully know their other albums yet. (Besides Moon and Antarctica/This is a Long Drive)

[kearn1tm]

I'm not a Modest Mouse guy.

[Brian_Bad_News]

will to burn, check out This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About (dramamine, exit does not exist) and Building Nothing Out Of Something (never ending math equation, baby blue sedan) I guarantee you will enjoy.

[eraserhead]

LCW, easily

[Brian_Bad_News]

curb stomp for jesus? hahaha that just made my day.

[LesserKnowns]

Close call between Moon & Antarctica and Good News.

Today, I'm gunna go with....Good News.

[bastard_of_ness]

I know it's totally uncool of me to say, but We Were Dead... is by far their best.

I think they are one band who tuly gets better and better without "selling out" their sound. Modest Mouse was/is/will always be Modest Mouse, but maturity and the addition Johnny Mar have only deepened and strengthened their sound.

New Modest Mouse forum here:

Taking up ModMouse's stead. If you haven't heard of ModMouse, that's okay, check it out anyway.

[CoheedForever]

We Were Dead. But all their albums are fantastic!

[blebbio]

I originally voted for The Moon but now I think it would be The Lonesome Crowded West.

[jordanhageman12]

The Lonesome Crowded West for sure...it's my second favorite album of all time.

[IPixedYouu]

Good News for People Who Love Bad News is the one I picked but all albums are great, though.

[Tautou107]

the lack of love for building nothing out of something is very saddening

[Coloso]

that one where isaac brock starts shouting like a lunatic
