  • You either like Modest Mouse or you don't, apply the sentence "you either like ____ or you don't" to anything people have differing opinions on, because that's all there really is to it. Saying what people are into for not being into something you are is just asking for a shitstorm, and if you have any respect for your own music, don't bring it down to that level. That being said, I liked Perpetual Motion Machine better than this track on the album.

  • fucking real

  • i beleive that this music aplys to real life so people who doent like this must not have a taste of the real life :)

    Read a Physics book then...

  • I found my new favorite song!

  • Uhm hey Mr.Brock! Play this song LIVE!

  • Obviously the person who said the beatles suck and are just hype knows nothing about music, yeah hype is all they are haha, ignorance is bliss I guess..

  • play this live already!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • The Beatles don't suck... They are more than hype... but just because they have sold a lot of records doesn't mean that they are the best, or better than anyone else. Hell, I bet Lady Gaga has sold more records than quite a few bands out there, but that doesn't mean she makes good music. People don't like good music nowadays, so you can't judge a band by record sales. Modest Mouse is fucking awesome, and I think that they're a lot better than the Beatles...

  • Modest mouse kind of remind me of the pixies, they have an awesome unique sound but too many of their songs have retarded puerile lyrics. Let the flaming begin, but you know I speak the truth.

  • "No such thing as bad music, just music I don't like."

  • Anyone who thinks modest mouse are better than Queen, Radiohead, The Stones, Led Zeplin and Pink Floyd is a moron.

  • @gazz12345a its led zeppelin. do you even listen to "led zeplin" or are you just naming popular classic bands?

  • @CalculusManifesto Blah blah blah, spelling mistake, blah blah. Well done.

  • @gazz12345a then dont call people morons, ya genius

  • @gazz12345a no they just have a different opinion than you.

  • @gazz12345a

    You FAIL there friend MM is miles ahead in my opinion.

  • I love how Isaac dropped out of school in like 9th grade, yet he is like a philosophical genius.

  • @elevat0r123 maybe its because he dropped out of school in like 9th grade.

  • @rocklobster15 Haha that was awesome :)

  • I've had enough of rolling boulders, I want more moss on me!

  • This song is both really good and makes me feel ill. I don't know why.

  • modest mouse is my favorite band of all time. not emo indie lol though they do get into emotions a bit they do it right. and the meanings of there songs strike you deep. sometimes it doesnt hit u until your in the state of mind they intended for the song

  • would u guy's say this genre of music is alternative? punk? or what?? cuz itsso new to me ever scince ive been listenin to them (year or two now..) and i have no idea what the genre is.. im gessing grunge..

  • @ratmon18 wayyyy wayyy off they are supposed to be indie but i guess now it would considered indie pop

  • @mmousejunkie ooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh­hh i neverrlly heard of indie lol, but i like it then :D

  • indie isnt doesnt really describe the music, it just means it was made by an independant record label. Alternative is probably most accurate, thats what they put on iTunes anyway...

  • @primetool2 oohh thanx dude

  • @ratmon18 indie rock

  • Everyone who comments loves this band including me.

  • does anyone know who is the artist of the album cover: no one's first and you're next ?

    and perpetual motion machine ?

    make sense?

  • This song is chill, modest mouse has been around for awhile. there old albums like "This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About" (1996) - good album.

  • ima knock dat look off ur face like i done hold u no mystery

  • I saw this cd in the rising artists bin. Wtf.

  • @warturtle19 and for good reason only two of their songs have made the radio, you and i both probably think they deserve to have all their songs on the radio but thats not our decision to make. so have patience.

  • @warturtle19 lol how r they rising? they been around 4 like years... i think they gotta get legend xP and y'd u guys rate my comment b4 as bad.. it was just me singin a lyric O.O haters..

  • @ratmon18 wow. they have been around since 1993

  • @iquill lol, dat watt i meanz.. xD idk bout u guys.. but dis my fav band.. my friend confronted me as i was telling some 1 wat modest mouse was, he said " dude, they only had 1 song in the top 40 list.." and im like "just cuz OTHER people don't think they're good, doesn't mean i dont think they're bad.." conformists only look at things others look at, never go they're own ways...

  • hmm...I like this song. Not as good as the other new stuff but still good. It just, sorta, seems overproduced. Like, there's too many sounds at one time and I can't distinguish it from the other and it turns into mush, and the beats kinda wonkey. But the lyrics are, as usually, fantasticcc

  • why u listen to it then fuckhead

  • "u" are a moron. "u" should probably end up in a nursing home one day where they sodomize "u" with dining utensils on Thanksgiving, Easter, Christmas, and James Earl Ray day. The next time I see "u" at the dog track I am going to break your wheelchair.

  • well thos r mean words to a person u don't know being mean won't get u anywhere in life

  • I bet when you think of that you can't stop touching yourself

  • "HipHipForChe," It is hilarious when ignorant people try to be obscene or tacky. They end up saying something out of a Divinyls song. You're lame and unfunny. I'm going to take the high road and leave your raging homosexual father out of this.

  • I can't stop laughing at this. Finally someone with a decent sense of humor posting comments on this site.

  • I don't understand why most of my comments are deleted. If I had my way I would be chucking molotov cocktails all over the place while drinking the blood of gay bald eagles, who were swim-fucking in a shallow AIDS infested creek. Sometimes I think about this all the time. But it is inappropriate at the Sunday school I teach at.

  • Trolls are so gay!

  • @purpledrohaze777 People who use internet lingo are morons. I hope you get AIDS from sharing dirty needles with your permiscuous, sexually confused father.

  • XXXDukeManteeXXX is a troll, there's no other way to put it.

  • @XXXDukeManteeXXX what the fuck

  • funny

  • @xxxdukemanteexxx get a life please instead of arguing over the internet and everybody else pay no attention to him that is just what he wants.

  • sorry but most of the people who listen to lil wayne dont have any connection to what he's saying at all most likely. if they do. thats pretty fucking sad. egotistical pricks. :P

  • are you dumb bro? Huge fan of Lil Wayne and a Huge fan Modest Mouse, it is faggats like you using the DICKtionarys worst words to stereotype something so stupid and unnecessary that are the pricks. Just recognise and respect the truth.

  • i'm gonna slap that look off your face like life don't hold no mystery

  • yea i agree with you guys all my freinds are just lie wow modest mouse is gay or it makes no sense to me but im like wow thats fucking crazy. like i showed my freind the satelight skin video which i think is insane and cool but he didnt show any expression to it it was just like o cool a video of sum sht i was like omg can't u see wats happening. but no he saw nothing

  • @lorak0123 i know what you mean im 15 and my friends are ... i dont wanna say shallow but along those lines.

  • DopeCoozie2 is quite rite

  • ok so everyone i no doesnt understand or listen to them ... they say that this type of music doesnt apeal to them and all the i can reply to anthing like that is that they have to be crazy to not like to listen to modest mouse ... they are fantastic .... the lyrics are compleatly genius and i beleive that this music aplys to real life so people who doent like this must not have a taste of the real life :)

  • well said.

  • @briannainzana I agree, but why they dont like it is because its anti religious, or the indie guitar. But I love it. I love everything about it.

  • @briannainzana you have terrible spelling, but i like what you have to say. :)

  • Still no live video!!!

    Show me LIVE ISSAC

  • i truely believe that something has kept modest mouse from becoming real popular. and that something has to be "because people are in denial of how life really goes". if you can listen to modest mouse and relate it so well, your actually living your life, and my friends dont ever take that for granted. people who listen to MM are some of the luckiest people on this earth to enjoy sad beauty. i may sound like a fag butr idc, i wanna get how i really feel about MM's songs to see how people feel.

  • @DopeCoozie2 my thoughts exactly

    although i think most turn away when they here the strange sounds and instruments in the songs. such as the beging of this song or march into the sea.

  • you dont sound like a fag cause your totaly right my friend was like i dont get the lyrics and im like WHAT cause it makes total sense to me

  • well not to seem to come off as an ass but what do you mean popular? like mainstream? because in my opinion they are already popular outside the radio and what not. but i think their not popular the mass population is because modest mouse isnt a poppish mess of cliche, genericy, and unorignality that most people hear on the radio. which is why i like modest mouse

  • Wow you said it good. "Sad beauty." I'm gonna steal that phrase :)

  • the only question ill ever have against modest mouse is, why aren't they more popular? albums like the lonesome crowded west, build nothing out of something are just shear bitter-sweet GENIUS lyrics..isaac is the most clever song writer, his metaphor's, contradictions, and criticism are soo true to the way the human mind thinks and wants to say it amazes me. how i relate EVERY modest mouse song to EVERY event that took place in my life doesn't happen with other bands, isaac brock, your amazing.

  • @DopeCoozie2 yeah, Modest mouse descriebs my life and events in it exactly and its like a crystal ball.

  • Sorry I'm replying to one of your comments again, "Building Nothing Out of Something" was the first album I bought of Modest Mouse, and it's amazing! Genius lyrics is right, I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds songs that relate to my life. Some people like to twist them into prophecies and political satire, and while some are, most are really personal and emotional to me. So yeah, I agree lol. :)

  • haha good! im glad :)

  • Modest Mouse is second to no one.

  • LIVE VIDEO OF THIS MEOW!!!!

  • For me, modest mouse is only second to the Beatles.

  • I  AGREE!!!!

  • i've had enough of rolling boulders....i want more moss on me!

    God i fucking love M.M.!

  • @TheSammLove why there better than the beatles. they have more meaning in their music. the only difference is they arent as recognized and they dont get air time.

  • @condiersea LMAO better than the Beatles?! Modest Mouse is awesome, but if you think they are better than the Beatles you have a skewed perception of what the Beatles really were and what they represented.

  • @CowInaTowel well idk they had some meaningful song like yesterday and let it be. but things like ob la di and and lucy in the sky diamonds seemed idk blah to me. it could be just my personal taste in music then. please then tell me what were the beatles and what did they represent and what makes them the best.

  • @condiersea Honestly to reply to both of you I love Modest Mouse and I guess I am fan of The Beatles (not a huge one but I really like their later stuff a lot), If it wasn't for The Beatles we wouldn't have bands like Modest Mouse pure and simple.

  • @tomjoad32 okay yeah they did a lot of good things. but people are like oh there music is sooo good. i dont see it. its not that great to me, maybe because im surrounded by all of today's music and there really aren't any firsts or anything new anymore really and i cant really appreciate what they have done some 40 or 50 years ago. and modest mouse would have happened with or without the Beatles im sure.

  • @tomjoad32 that's an excellent way of putting it.

  • @condiersea wow hahhh i've started quite a conversation(;

    i agree that modest mouse has really profound songs, that's why i love them so much. but i'm very biased when it comes to the beatles, because they've always been my absolute favourites. it's all just a matter of opinion.

  • @TheSammLove i really couldnt agree more man!!!

  • @TheSammLove

    Modest mouse is on another level. Lol the Beatles aren't even close. MM is the best band ever.

  • @scoobyfan2009 Not at all bro, the beatles influenced modest mouse and most bands out there.

  • @scoobyfan2009 You quite honestly can't beat the Beatles. They are one of the most influential bands of all time, and have sold far more records then any other band of today. They and so many bands before the 90s had major influence on every band of today.

  • @b4igetu

    I don't know I just really never liked them.... Call me crazy but I just really could never get into their music.

  • @TheSammLove nope.

  • @TheSammLove The Beatles suck, they are nothing but hype.

  • @HipHipForChe Obviously you know nothing about music, yeah hype is all they are haha, ignorance is bliss I guess..

  • @HipHipForChe @HipHipForChe Obviously you know nothing about music, yeah hype is all they are haha, ignorance is bliss I guess..

  • @heathriane half their songs suck. the only reason most people like them is to be cool.

  • @HipHipForChe haha ignorant loser

  • @HipHipForChe well for 1 every one has a diffrent perspective so when 1 person says the beatles suck it means they just dont like them and yes lots of people do just pretend to know who the beatles are to be "cool" or what ever but there are some people (like me) who acutlly like and listen to the beatls quite oftenly and i would say the majority of people who like them acutlly like them for there songs

  • @remfiles they got some good songs, but around here where im at, theres all these weird church kids who love the beatles but don't know any of thier songs.

  • @HipHipForChe lol

  • @remfiles "Don't trust people who say they like music but don't like Bob Dylan or thBeatles. These people are liears. They pretend to listen to music because they like the way it makes them look or because they like having the covers, but they do not like music. Don't trust them."

    - very loose quotation of Jack White

  • @TheSammLove Dude, those are my two favorite bands...

  • @righteousrat They're mine too. Have you read these comments that ppl are saying? hahah. they're calling me stupid for saying that mm is second to the beatles. i said "for me, they're second only to the beatles" so everyone needs to calm down. lol it's just my opinionnnn. i do appreciate all the input though(:

  • @TheSammLove Eh.. "Screw 'em, Angus." 'nough said.

  • yeeeaaah! modest mouse pls....

    play live this song!

  • Play this song live! I command you!

  • they have been playing this song live for years....same with king rat.

  • well then the crowed wasn't responcive...It's not all their fault, I've been to alot of their concerts...they, just like all other artists, love audince participation

  • ive seen them once, i love their music to no end.. but the shit list couldve been stronger and they were a little bored.. but that doesnt make me love them any less.

  • i seen them at King's Island amusement park outside of Cincinatti OH, at night time.....it was THE BEST concert ive ever been to

  • When was this?!

  • i've never been to a concert, but im pretty sure i want my first one to be modest mouse!

  • Modest Mouse along with Radiohead are the 2 bands that I have to see live before I die, or my life is not complete!

  • Whoa, same here. They're my two favourite bands of all time. =]

  • Radiohead is something you have to see. When I saw them in San Diego it was by far the greatest concert I've been too. I also would love to go to a Modest Mouse concert.

  • They need to play this live

  • win

  • Seen them twice, here in albuquerque nm, they are so flipping good live dude! they played "wild pack of family dogs" followed by "paper thin walls" so super cool good stuff!

  • i am supremely jealous!!

    i missed them in portland and am pissed!

  • agreed lol

  • "Optimism doesn't change the facts, just what you're gonna see"

  • Sure is. Off their new cd =]

  • Is this new MM/!?1/1!?

  • so consistently good

  • waht a great song i love modessttt!

  • saw em' last night 4 hours away from home, cost me 32.56, not including gas and i got lost for 2 hours in the middle of Ohio on the way home, overall successful because nothing could have ruined that night for me.

  • oh that's so cool! I saw them hee in Tempe back in Octobe it was my fist eal concert and Im 20, I had to save it for a good band I did the same thing; they were only two hours from me but it was all worth it! Did they sing doin the cockroach!?

  • save it for a good band you did, my friend! Yup, yup! They played like 3 songs that i didn't know at the time i was like ..whaaat, Modest Mouse songs exist that I don't know of!? Haha, because I have their discography. It seems as if I have to update that very soon. My favorite song played that night has to be parting of the sensory

  • ur awesome i wish i was with u

  • how did you get lost in ohio, it has like 5 roads

  • hahahah don't make funn! You'd be surprised. It's all of those crazy backroads. Plus I'm a woman, I know no roads..-__-.

  • The woman part made me laugh.

    Good job

  • Best thing that has ever been said in the history of life.

  • you obviously havent been to ohio, i live in central ohio.

  • thats where its at..or at least where im at...YAAAAAA!!!!

  • yessssssss

  • september 1st! there in utah!!

  • it's going to be INSANE! i cant wait :)

  • Really?!?! im goin!

  • robaly my favorite on his new eps

  • Just like most great modest mouse song this one grows on you like some kind sick infectious disease Till it sticks to soul hike history...... I wanna hear this shit live....... god i think i may like modest mouse

  • HELL YEAH!

  • hehe

    loser

  • oh yes... you should. Very impressive.

  • Love love love the new EP! I think this is the best song off of it.

  • I'm sad I didn't find these songs until a week ago.

    I know its not that long but I wanted to hear new stuff the moment it came out :(

    great song though.damn i love the music

  • i resisted all urges to listen to 4 of these songs until the EP came out, just so when i went to the record store today, i would get treated to something new on my drive around town... not stuff i have listened to for 2 months online already....

    but thats just how i do it

  • Comment removed

  • These new singles are little hard to swallow but they are already growing on me =)

  • Well Whale Song is a master peice

  • why dont we all stop arguing and enjoy some fucking brilliant music?

  • dude.. sad sappy sucker does not suck its their very first album and it is their sound because IT IS THEM.. and of course it sounds different because almost every MM album is slightly different than the other take for example "The Lonesome Crowded West" and "We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank" pretty different but both are great

  • Comment removed

  • June 21???of what 2010?

  • Very nice, very nice. Guilty Cocker Spaniels is still my favorite of the new ones, but still . . . very nice.

  • I'd have to agree with you there, but this is really damn good.

  • hey all of you stop going from point A to point B...oh I know!!!

  • GODDAMN!

  • Well, you must be pretty close minded with music if you think that way.

    Yeah you keep repeating what you're saying in different terms!

    Yeah, you want music. And just music.

    And isn't that what music is? Thoughts put into a beat and such?

    Obviously, as you said.. Thinking does come second nature for you.

  • Godamn it. I just said. I want thoughts in my music. I keep saying the things over again because you don't seem to be computing them. I would be upset if MM's songs lost meaning and thought but I'm saying WHAT DO WE ORIGINALLY BUY ALBUMS FOR? DO WE THINK,"I NEED TO GO BUY A THOUGHT ALBUM!"? I don't think so.

  • You JUST said that you enjoy thoughts in your music.

    No need to get testy. I get it you think that

    it's a rip that there was barely any content.

    I think the point you made that is bothering people

    is that you said the music itself is a rip,

    when really, you seem just upset that you

    didnt get ' play by play 3 minute "songs"

    which i suppose is too bad for you.

  • You're a jackass. wait, I'm not gonna call you a jackass, more like an intolerant douche. Glad you decided this music wasn't for you, but being a dick about it is lame.

    I like their style. Can't wait for the EP

  • This is rediculous. I get it. You don't like it for what you see it is. Too bad for you, though.. That you don't see it as what it really is. And it IS music. Even if you don't like it, it is music. There ARE instraments playing, and there is a beat. Even as you cannot hear it as music. And the sss isnt only full of that. There are some of mm's amazing songs on there. You cannot tell me you don't think Classy Plastic lumber is not a neat song? Sucks for you. Wish you could appreciate it.
  • This is silly. I'm saying that it's not my own personal opinion that says SSS sucks, I'm saying that as a whole it just sucks, I don't consider that my opinion. I can appreciate it for other things. My real point is that SSS is not MM's sound at all.

  • You're not very bright are you? That, or you simply rant & don't pay attention to what you're saying "I'm saying that as a whole it just sucks. I don't consider that my opinion" Even if you aren't talking about each song alone, you're still stating your OPINION whether you like it or not. And how is it not MMs sound? Honestly it doesnt seem like you know what you're talking about. SSS is a good example on how many variations, their samples of music. Time for you to think outside the box.
  • you really are judgmental aren't you. I'm just saying, I liked LCW and all that but that's because it wasn't just a set of outtakes but rather, an actual album.

  • Judgemental? To a healthy degree.

    I call em as I see em.

    And by em' , I mean arrogant people.

    And all IM saying is that you seem you cant

    appreciate something for what it is.

    End of discussion. This is ridiculous
