Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It's hard to pinpoint the exact moment Modest Mouse started sounding like a real band. But on Good News For People Who Love Bad News, front man Isaac Brock sounds like he's finally touching the earth, and the band--minus founding member and drummer Jeremiah Green--follows suit. For the longest time, singer-songwriter Brock seemed to exist solely to defy the established rules, forging forward on sheer momentum and ingenuity. Even Pavement looked relatively ordinary in comparison to the band's early releases like 1996's This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About and 1997's The Lonesome Crowded West. A relaxed mood prevails, not so much in volume but in attitude. On the follow-up to the group's 2000 major label debut, The Moon & Antarctica, big sloppy melodies battle it out with brass on punky epics such as "Float On" and "The Ocean Breathes Salty." The lyrics are simpler, the arrangements tamer, but the vitality remains. The prevailing mood is that Modest Mouse has pulled off something extraordinary here: a well-rounded, lovable record that doesn't sound anything like David Gray. --Aidin Vaziri
Description
After scrapping an entire album when drummer Jeremiah Greenquit the band, Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock returned to the studio to record the follow up to 2000's 'The Moon And Antarctica'. 'Good News For People Who Love Bad News' continues with the mix of angular guitars and Brock's half singing half shouting vocals sounding like a cross between the Pixies, Talking Heads, and Pavement.
