MODEST MOUSE "good news for people who love bad news" cd,2004.
the first of two MM albums i bought from my Xmas voucher purchases...had never heard of these guys before my trip to Hotel Paint Lick, dont like this ons as much as the one that will follow this one shortly(we were dead before the ship even sank), but a good album nevertheless... hey, gotta love their album titles, just wish i could give them a score for them!
Johnny Marr(the smiths) appears on this album, although his parts are not as "smiths-like" as one would expect...quite subdued infact.
a nice easy listening(for the most part) collection of indi pop sounds here....
if you like your pop on a slightly quirky side, then this album is for you.
album reached #18 Stateside and #40 in the UK, didnt chart here whatsoever, one single made the charts in Float On which only reached #68 US, #46 UK...a real shame as these guys deserve better than that!
album gets two loves,nine likes and three dislikse giving a score of 1.9.
