stranaspank Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 It's already ridiculous that preorders are put up egregiously earlier than the release date, now threads are being started way earlier than the preorder is announced. andables, BobbyHill, JoToRoBo and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattvsshark Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 And plus it's not like we've been waiting 7 years for this. You can't blame folks for being a little bit excited. kjkenney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sve Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Great news! I, for one, agree, thank you for the post, i appreciate the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drlambert Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I hope this one doesn't suck. "We Were Dead..." was good and so was "Good News..." but it kind of feels like their best work is behind them. Another "Moon & Antarctica" would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkinglot Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Dashboard was poppy too. No need to write the whole album off. I really dug the bridge in the song. The rest was okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drlambert Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The single is interesting, wouldn't sound out of place on "We Were Dead..." Still got faith in these guys for now though. Damn good cover for the single though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitvinyl Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Super disappointed by the "new" single. I mean, if a band's been playing something live for...3-4 years, is it really new? It also sounds like it could've been a B-side off We Were Dead... and the re-use of the da-da-das from "World at Large" just seems like a huge lack of creativity - especially after 7 years! I'm really hoping the album is better than this. This artwork is great though. sithspit and drlambert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping the album is better than this. This artwork is great though. Yeah that's true, the live version from 2011 doesn't sound much different from this. Still, Modest Mouse is one of those bands whose songs make more sense in the context of a full album. For the last decade or so it seems like they've been picking crowd-pleasers as their singles, so this is kind of a cool curveball. Maybe I'm just being optimistic.

parkinglot Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 You know, I definitely expected more hype around here for the first Modest Mouse record in 7+ years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
