Another Modest Mouse Album. Had I thought this through a little more I wouldn't have randomized the list of albums just so that this didn't happen. This album blended in with The Lonesome and Crowded West, but I think that it just because I listened to them so closely to each other. The one track that did stand out to me was Lounge. I liked the guitar riff and bass groove combo a lot. The vocal style of that track is cleaner than usual, but still very much Modest Mouse which I like. The fact that the bad switched up instruments to record Dog Paddle is pretty cool. Overall this album is pretty depressing to me. I know that is what it is supposed to be, but I just feel bummed after listening to it. And that's saying something since I really like "emo" styled music. I was reminded a lot of Arcade Fire listening to this though and I didn't really get that from Lonesome.
Favorite track: Lounge
