Pretentious people sometimes say, "I love their old stuff. They're not the same anymore." I do this with Modest Mouse. I can't help it, though, because it's completely true. No longer do they release albums like The Moon & Antarctica, a record filled to the brim with emotion. Issac Brock, the lead singer and song-writer of Modest Mouse, starts it all off with "3rd Planet" which probably has some of the best lyrics I've ever heard. It doesn't stop there; "I Came as a Rat" and "Life Like Weeds" hits you with more. The Moon & Antarctica is the last amazing album that Modest Mouse released, and it is highly recommended that you listen to it. Oh, by the way, the title is a reference to Blade Runner, one of my favorite films. How great is that?
