AGREED! Their old stuff is way better than their new mainstream stuff. Even though their new stuff is great as well, the old stuff is just more modest mousey.

It saddens me that when I finally go to my first Modest Mouse concert they won't be playing stuff like this. If only I could have been born 10 years befor I was.

Modest is constantly evolving their sound...all u 2000 babies need to start at the fruit that ate itself then divulge to uglycassanova

Melodic uncoherent modest....composed out of brilliance!...

@Maverac You'd be surprised at how much older stuff they play. It's pretty awesome.

I love this song so god damn much.

"I changed my mind so much I can't even trust it. My mind changed me so much I can't even trust myself." Good god what introspective truth.,,

@sightsofsounds Lonesome Drive??? Those are two different albums. The Lonesome Crowded West vs. This is a Long Drive for someone with nothing to think about --------And this song is on 'This is a long drive....' Lonesome crowded west came out a few years after this song. Both great albums though.

this has to be up there with one of the most moving songs i know. the whole lonesome drive album is fucking beautiful.

@Maverac ??? i'm sure they still play Dramamine and Truckers Atlas. and if they ever would decide to just stop playing their old stuff altogether, then i would become waaay less of a fan of theirs.

not to be a panic maniac, but i just i hate it when bands do that shit: when bands turn big and poppy, they tour with only their corporate shit and seem to neglect everything they wrote b4 hitting mainstream. i think of songs like they'r children: you make them, u should care for them until u die!

[videojudge01]

man they actually played a whole fuckin concert there. i live just an interstate away from Newport. i would've LOVED to see this, even though i was just a little kid during this time heheh. but i'm quite a fan now of these guys now. The character of Isaac's voice is just novel

ya they have switched their style up a little bit over the years, but to call them mainstream is an insult to the greatest band in the world. when you think about it they've never really had one distinct style anyway and i believe thats what makes them the best band to walk upon this planet.
