I declare! I dunno why it took me so long to get into them. I was smoking with Liz this morning and we were listening to them and I couldn't stop singing or drumming my fingers or tapping my feet. The dude has the greatest voice and the music is fantastic. It just fills me with JOY. I LOVE MODEST MOUSE. I can't wait for the new album.
All of this comes from just The Moon and Antarctica, so what should I get next?
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS BAND INTO MY LIFE, NETPHORIA!!!!!!! <3

They're really good, but I would hardly say Isaac Brock has the best voice.

Get everything else now. My personal favorite is This Is A Long Drive... , but it's pretty different from TM+A.

Yeah. I have a hard time deciding between this one and Antarctica for being my favorite from them, cause just about everything on them is amazing.
Not to say that Long Ride is bad, because it really isn't, but about half of it really doesn't do anything for me, while the other half is just great songs like Dramamine, Tundra/Desert, and Talking Shit About a Pretty Sunset.

I recently became obsessed with their music. I'd get Lonesome Crowded West First. You really can't go wrong with any of their CD's...well, expect for Sad Sappy Sucker.

I really really like Sad Sappy Sucker. M+A has too much compromising chaos for the sake of production. If I had to name a favorite.... Long Drive or LCW, hands down. SSS is really good if you just give it a shot... very chaotic in the right way, ala older 764-HERO.
