holy god. Did they make a better album?
No but Long Drive is close.
>>69179678
Yeah. This is the objective truth.

:'c
>>69179595
that album is literally god-tier. considering that it is so loved by critics and /mu/, even if they did make an album as great/greater than that it wouldn't get as much recognition just because of how much of a footprint it made
>>69179786
Im glad to hear that we all feel this way.
>>69179786
I wonder if this has to do with why they fell apart after their first few albums. I mean everything after Good News isn't really worth listening to honestly. They peaked and couldn't make a new sound to stay interesting.
>>69179898
very true. they had a really rough and slightly lo-fi sound on LCW and then they got way too clean by the time that Good News came out
>>69179898
no its not that they needed a new sound its that they left there old one. I think there earlier stuff was unique enough to stick with that. Its refreshing.
>>69179971
why does that matter?
TMAA is better
>>69180005
I think you might have a point. It's almost like they reached an awkward halfway between not different enough to be interesting, while being different enough from their original stuff to be bad.
>>69180005
exactly
>>69180011
what I'm saying is that they still could've progressed without abandoning their sound from LCW
>>69179595
Modest Mouse sucks. Built to Spill and Guided by Voices are better.
>>69180078
>Built to Spill and Guided by Voices are better
lmao
>>69180143
They are and I'm a MM fan.
>>69180143
lol Perfect From Now On is better than anything Plebest Mouse ever did.
>>69180078
>>69180018
>He grew up on the East
>>69180078
All three are god-tier, faggot.
>>69180078
>>69180163
>>69180188
>Guided by Voices
>indie rock for people with ADHD
>Built to Spill
>all songs drag on forever
All Modest Mouse songs have the perfect length
>>69180236
alright, so you've barely listened to either band. got it.
>>69180547
Show me a Built to Spill song that wouldn't be better if it was two minutes shorter
>>69180566
I Would Hurt a Fly
>>69180566
Carry The Zero
>>69180566
Modest Mouse is my favorite band and Built to Spill is my second favorite band and I wish that every Built to Spill song was two minutes longer.
>>69180566
any of them
but i'm assuming you've only listened to perfect from now on, because that's the only one where long songs are the norm
>>69179595
yeah, they made like three that are better or at least equal
>>69179898
No One's First and You're Next is as good as the first 3 albums
just re listened to Long Drive. Long Drive might be better.
>>69181669
Ohio keeps it from being the better album
>>69181707
ohio is one of the best songs
>>69179971
nah 7 albums of lowfi garage rock wouldve been shit dont fuck around now
Strangers to Ourselves is better than LCW
>>69182343
"kek"
>>69179595
yeah and it's actually just a compilation album called building nothing out of something
>>69181757
this
they did not make lo-fi intentionally, it was just what they had to work with.
making lo-fi because you can is lame and uncreative
>>69180018
Nah it's too clean
Saw them live in July with Brand New. Fucking great concert. Isaac still has it. Though I've heard otherwise about some of their other concerts....
>>69179595
Album is perfect except for shit luck which is a 3/10 for me. This album is still my favourite album of all time.
>>69180188
Doug Martsch is way more talented,
but Isaac Brock actually knows how to write intriguing lyrics.
>>69182447
I'm not usually a proponent of cleanly produced albums either, but that's not even why The Moon is amazing. They got an entirely different sound on the album and it's wonderful.
TLCW is my second fave by far tho
>>69179595
God here
No this is their best work.
Capitalize my name in the future
