5.0 out of 5 stars Speechless, 13 May 2005
I have alredy posted a long review hailing the wonders of "the Lonesome Crowded West" and the talent of Modest Mouse, so I won't go over it again at length. Yes, this band is just UNBELIEVABLE, and this album only confirms it.
I own all their releases and even though it's hard to say which is better than the other, "Building..." has a special place in my heart (and my music collection). "Broke" is probably one of the best songs I have EVER heard, with both amazing lyrics ("broke a promise cos' my car broke down/ it's such a classic excuse it should be bronze by now/ broke up and I'm relieved somehow/ it's the end of the discussions that just go round and round and round and round and round...") and what fantastic guitars. And if you get a chance to see them live then go, they just rock.
Yes, this album is a truly outstanding piece of work, but that's Modest Mouse for you. If you're new to them, my advice here is to be a little patient and give it quite a few spins before making hasty judgements: diamonds can look like ordinary stones before you work at them. Oh, and buy this album too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Best non-album Modest Mouse release..., 7 Aug 2009
Building Nothing Out of Something is different from many non-album releases by bands, in that while the tracks come from varying places and times, it would be impossible to tell these tracks weren't recorded together just by listening to them. A great example is the transition form "Medication" to "Workin on Leavin the Living".

As always with Modest Mouse, it is Isaac Brock's talent for songwriting which is the driving force. Most of the songs are insular and downbeat in tone, but almost every one displays Brock's great wordplay and them ability to say things about the 'bigger picture' with simple sentences or lyrics.

Building Nothing Out of Something reveals a young band whose non-album tunes deserve the same respect as their full-lengths. And somewhere behind the occasional angry vocal or musical outburst, or the barely concealed frustration in Brock's voice - it is clear that at the heart of this album is some fantastic pop songs and a rarely surpassed knack for melody.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars wow!, 8 Nov 2006
By Jeremy Tan Chie-chiang "chinezinho" (cardiff, uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
just got this cd in from amazon and dang... *nightflower explosions* just that amazing.

this album is just like one of those perfect albums where each song gels together, sounds like an exageration but its not! even if some dont agree, the amount of gems littered in this baby ('never ending math equation', 'broke', 'all nite diner', 'grey ice water', other people's lives') would nontheless be an incentive to get this record.

if ur new to MM and their growing cult base, be prepared for eargasms throughout hte cd, guitar riffs are just crazy delicious along with isaac brock's unique sing style (undertone wailing and incoherent mutterance) which fits into their music all nice and crisp. though MM's lyrics are albeit dark ('grey ice water'... but still so addictive), they have upbeat tunes in this album like 'all nite diner' which will get ur hips moving.

a caution though, if you're interested in a cd to show off your dance moves (see justin timberlake or those untalented/notrealmusic hip hop pages), MM and this album wouldnt be the cd you would like to be on the stereo. however, its does supplement a good nite in, writing a dairy, getting emo and all that gay stuff, and basically reminiscing on the those lost times. isaac is a cruel bastard with his rhymes (it clicks!).

i would highly recommend this album, but for u cheap bastards dont take this just from reading a few reviews or the amount of stars it has on this amazon page. look around and ull see the amount of praises MM has garnered along the way since "this is a long drive...", you'll realize you've made the biggest bargain in the (music) world!

--- all time fav MM song, 'dramamine' ---
