Our Take

Ah, Modest Mouse - the band that’s just as enigmatic and unpredictable as their name suggests. Good News for People Who Love Bad News is their fifth studio album, and boy, is it a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. The opener, “The World at Large,” sets the scene perfectly with its melancholic lyrics and jaunty melody - a juxtaposition that only Modest Mouse could pull off with such finesse. It’s like being hit in the feels while simultaneously tapping your feet to the beat. Tracks like “Float On” and “Ocean Breathes Salty” bring that signature Modest Mouse sound - a fusion of indie rock, folk, and a sprinkle of weirdness that only they can deliver. The band’s frontman, Isaac Brock, somehow manages to make his quirky, almost nonsensical lyrics sound profound and thought-provoking. But don’t be fooled by the seemingly lighthearted vibes - there’s a darkness lurking beneath the surface of this album. Songs like “Bukowski” and “The Devil’s Workday” delve into themes of disillusionment and existential angst, leaving listeners simultaneously nodding along and scratching their heads. Overall, Good News for People Who Love Bad News is a wild and wonderful journey through the twisted minds of Modest Mouse. If you’re a fan of off-kilter indie rock with a touch of madness, this album is definitely worth a listen. Just be prepared for your emotions to be taken on a rollercoaster ride of epic proportions. Grab your ticket and enjoy the trip.
