Modest Mouse

So to kick it off I thought I would start off with a fantastic album from Modest Mouse called "We were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank". Modest mouse is definitely NOT for everyone. Its a culmination of weird sounds that fit the title of the song. Such as in the first song "March into the Sea" there is an accordion accompanied with squeaky wood to give the feeling of a ship on the sea.

The singing isn't really pleasant to hear but you slug it out through the song to hear the awesome riffs during the chorus. But as terrible as the vocals are, it suits the style of Modest Mouse and gives it the band's distinct sound. Eventually you get used to it :P

By far the best song in this album is "Dashboard". The riff at the start captivates you and keeps you captivated so that the whole day it will annoy you from the back of your mind to the point that you end up singing it throughout the day to satisfy your new found "Modest Mouse addiction".

SO. Buy this album? Yes. Every song sounds individual and is relatively addictive. BUT: if your really not into this style of music just buy "Dashboard" or "March into the Sea" for the sake of buying a brilliant song. :)
