fuck you
THIS THREAD IS DEFINITELY CRAHING
Love the midwest emo influence on Long Drive and Crowded West, it adds a certain uniqueness to their ol'90's indie rock sound. Also love Modest Mouse's influence on Brand New's The Devil And God album.
I want to like them but they bore me, help
My favorite band of all time. There first album is trash but everything else is God tier.

Can you give an example of how it influenced TDAG? I'm not really seeing it.

Just listen to Jesus Christ, that entire song is just a homage to modest mouse. That weird string whammy note thing that modest always do is in that song, the weu weu weu weu.
lonesome crowded west is probably the best
good news for people who love bad news i think is the strongest thematically tho, its a good turning point in how their style developed (can't say im too big of a fan of float on, but ocean breathes salty is still in my top 5 jams of all time)

>there first album is trash
what
no
it's one of their best. it's overlong and doesn't have the stylistic variety that lcw has to support that length but there's no way an album with dramamine, lounge, beach side property, tundra/desert, ohio and talking shit about a pretty sunset is trash
Didn't someone say Modest Mouse sounds like they're being chased by a garden hose in their songs
