Modest Mouse Is A Hard Nut To Crack, But That Juicy Center Is Worth It

Date of Review:  Nov 15, 2004
The Bottom Line: Good News For People Who Love Bad News is a little uneven at times and maybe too experimental. Get past that, and you'll love it.
Review: Finally, I feel comfortable reviewing this album. After being introduced to Modest Mouse with their previous release, The Moon And Antarctica, I was eager to pick up Good News For People Who Love Bad News. I liked it, but still couldn't get my hands...

Good News!

Date of Review:  Apr 27, 2004
The Bottom Line: You've got to admire their modesty.
Review: Modest Mouse's latest album, Good News For People Who Love Bad News, is the band's "break through" album. They've gained mainstream success with their single "Float On," and now they're more popular than ever. However, the single is just so good...

Modest Mouse: Good News For People Who Love Great Music!

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2004
The Bottom Line: On "Good News...", Modest Mouse prove themselves to be worthy of their breakout success this year. An offbeat, but gratifying listen.
Review: The one cool part of my job is that I bring home tons of free music. Honestly, I never listen to the majority of it. It's pretty difficult to dedicate yourself to hours of music listening-even when you have no life like me. Sometimes there has to be...

Enter Witty Pun Title Here Involving Good And Bad News

Date of Review:  Sep 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: Great CD. Not perfect, but great.
Review: I wish I could say I've been following Modest Mouse for a long time, but I haven't. I did listen to "The Moon And Antarctica" before "Good News For Bad People" came out, and it was good but I got a bit tired of it and only started listening to it...

"life handed us a paycheck, we said 'we worked harder than this!'"

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2004
The Bottom Line: Americans have always been confident complainers, ready to move or invent someplace new. It';s our weakness, greatness, and charm. But we haven';t always sung of it so thoughtfully and courageously.
Review: While it disappoints me that only two of the first 25 Epinions on Modest Mouse's Good News for People who Love Bad News give the album five stars, it intrigues me that no one's accusing it of being a "sell-out". It _isn't_, of course, but it has the...

Good News For People Who Want Something Different.

Date of Review:  Jun 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: Buy this album now.
Review: I was first compelled to buy this album after hearing about it via one of my favorite webcomics Questionable Content. Well, me agreeing with the creator of QC on most music, I decided to check it out.

So, the first time I put this in, my...

No Puns for my review of Good News For People Who Love Bad News

Date of Review:  Nov 16, 2004
The Bottom Line: "GNFPWLBN" falls short through its many mistakes.
Review: I wonder if Modest Mouse had this planned all along. For about... oh, however many five to ten years they've been around, they strategically built themselves a cult following. Once they had achieved that cult following, they conspired to care less...

More than a Modest Endeavor

Date of Review:  Jul 16, 2004
The Bottom Line: Bubbly instrumentation and dark lyrics provide for a well contrasting and highly diverse set of songs that range from Flaming Lips to Tom Waits styles.
Review: Modest Mouse have been around for quite some time already, but seem to have found a brake through with Good News...This was also my introduction to the band, and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. M-M have like their contemporaries The...

Modest Mouse - Effluent Mix of Substandard Music

Date of Review:  Oct 1, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you like good music with bad lyrics and mismatched singing, you might just like this disc.
Review: Every once in a while, an acclaimed release comes out from the Burroughs-like trip that some critics are on, an album that I look at and say, "What?" This is that album for 2004.

Now I know that there are obviously people out there who...

The Bottom Line: -
Review: [Before I start things off here, I'd just like to apologise profusely for my title. I mean, was it just me that got incredibly, incredibly annoyed when all the reviews of this album were pouring into the site, and each and every single one of them...
