About Modest Mouse

“It’s a road-trip sing-along album not for vacationers, but for escapees.”
SPIN * * * *

“Singer Isaac Brock remains a jack of all traits as he yelps, bellows and seethes through rollicking, off-center tunes that are folk-tinged, pop-tweaked, beat-crazed and very vaguely attached to a seafaring theme. The music’s at its best when Modest Mouse goes overboard.”
USA TODAY * * *

“Bolstered by the surprise addition of ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, Modest Mouse hits another commercial home run with its new album.”

“ …10 years into their career, Modest Mouse has stumbled into their best album yet.” BLENDER * * * * ½

“On “We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank,” the band’s fifth album, he (Brock) fixates on nautical imagery with comic intensity. The results are enthralling, even when they seem to be thrashing at coherence.”

“…..it’s MM’s greatest feat to make songs this irked and angular sound so fetching.”
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

“Brock’s yelping, clipped delivery guides every shift, from expansive to punky sunshine-pop to defiant bluesy rock, and validates the complex underlying emotions.”
LA TIMES * * *

“Adapting perfectly to singer Isaac Brock’s frantic cadences, the legendary Smith’s guitarist quickly makes his presence felt on the radio-friendly first single, “Dashboard.”
PEOPLE * * * ½

“Brock has never sounded more charismatic, or chameleonlike, as he alternately croons, spits, and bronchially howls through lyrics…..”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY A-

“The combo of tropical guitar and cheap Casio beat make “Missed The Boat” a boozy favorite, while fans looking for the feel-good vibe of the band’s 2004 monster hit, “Float On,” will dig “Fire It Up,” a scrap-your-day-job-and-move-to-the-beach anthem.”
– ALBUM OF THE MONTH

“With its buoyant horns and disco beat, “Dashboard” makes “Float On” sound like a funeral dirge.”
