Because it's very rare you get a human being who has the benefits of both a cavernous mind and a powerful voice.
The latter tends to use their voice to make beautiful-sounding mainstream music with superficial appeal while the former uses their mind to make beautifully-composed music with deeper, but less popular appeal.
Definately sounds like modest mouse's early stuff. Fuckin cool.

@majesticon they sing about WHY THERE ARE MOUNTAINS
so .... that means all of their songs must be about melting glaciers at the end of the ice age right?

The empty parkway wound it's way back through charred black pine just like a wormhole.~
He sounds like he's holding back tears the very last time he sings that part. Powerful stuff.

The way they go back into the beginning at 4:14 with the bass and synthesizer fading away is perfect. Greatest moment of the album in my opinion.

The vocals could be a bit firmer, maybe a bit stabler. Seems like it cracks a bit.

Although, weak vocals seems to be a common occurrence in indie music, for some reason.

@DukeOnkled
That's because the vocals aren't stressed as being all that important. If you have something to say, say it and let talent be damned.
Which is why Indie music isn't all that accessible in the mainstream, simply because it isn't superficial enough.

This is my favorite song off the album. Picking a favorite was hard, however, since there isn't a weak song on the album.
