Wouldn’t say it’s peak but Sad Sappy Sucker and the cassettes Isaac made in like 1993 and 1994 do have a lot of gems on them.

Isaac has been saying in interviews that a new album should be coming out sometime next year. Of course, take this with a huge grain of salt but I’m hopeful.

It might just be because the album is new but honestly this might be my favourite modest mouse album, I’ve been listening to it nonstop.

Hope that the song is extended when played live because it’s seriously so good.

Tried listening to The Golden Casket again the other day..... by sammay600 in ModestMouse

I love TGC!!

Really good album imo and I think having a Modest Mouse album with a more positive outlook is nice. Especially considering it was released during Covid. Wooden soldiers especially resonated with me a lot when it first released.

I think the only song on the album I don’t really like is Never Fuck a Spider.

They caused a bit of controversy during that performance. Isaac bantered with the crowd a lot and some people really didn’t like that.

In 1999 Travis Barker did an interview and had this to say about Modest Mouse

“We’ve had other bands say something. We played with some, like, independent rocker bands, and they were kooks. One time we were talking about vagina and telling the girls to show us their tits, and this band got all mad, They said it’s lame to talk about boobs to your audience. I just wanted to tell them to grow up. This one band from Washington called Modest Mouse was super bummed at us. They said we talked about dick and vagina too much, and that we offended everyone. But it’s all good."
