One of my all time favorite albums. I met Issac awhile back when he was touring and came to my hometown in Virginia.

Such a great band. Good work brother. Thanks for making this.

Wow, insightful thoughts, especially on Brock's lyrical content. The guitars, bass, and even drums have always been front and center for me on this record. Much of the words took a back seat for decades, with a few popping out here and there to illustrate basic themes (ie: aggressive urbanization, the emptiness of consumerism, road travel, strangely juxtaposed circumstances, longing for deeper meaning amid the digital revolution, etc). You really captured this. So much so, that I can forgive the "Teeth Like God's Shoeshine" snafu. Great work.

An understanding music on Aesop Rock would be amazing

One of my favorites. Keep up the good work 👌

Modest Mouse have been my favorite band since 2006. I just got to see them live for the first time thanks to my brother who originally introduced me to their music. I really enjoyed this analysis, good job.

Like many Modest Mouse fans, I consider “The Moon & Antarctica” to be their all-time magnum opus. And many mainstream music listeners only know them by their breakout LP “Good News For People Who Love Bad News”. Nevertheless, I give you massive respect for reviewing one of their lesser-known independent albums. It’s a fantastic album, though my initial impression was that it didn’t have much more to offer than their first album “This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About”, which I prefer over it. Thank you for creating this video, so that I can understand more about it.

I’d love to see a video like this on the album “The Sophtware Slump” by Grandaddy. A fairly unknown yet critically acclaimed album and band. They came out of the same mid-late 90s indie scene.

I’m surprised to see a video about Modest Mouse, especially this album show up in my suggested that was only posted a day ago! They are my favorite band and this album is great.

While I prefer TMAA and This Is A Long Drive, it's still a fantastic album. It got me invested into Modest Mouse for the first time, and I'm grateful for that.

Nice video my man.

for a very long time modest mouse were me and my friends little secret..this was in 97 and they were completely unknown where i live..it's very weird for me to think of them as a huge band..i often go back and listen to my tapes of uncle bunny faces and the other answering machine demo's ...go find them and listen then you will understand as to why i still think of them as a small band and not one that has living guitar legends actually in their band..

Saw them in 1997 or 1998 the first time live...in a concert with calexico and built to spill...what a band!!! Big fan ever since

Thanks for doing Modest Mouse🙏🏻

One of my top ten favorite albums

Man, I feel this so much. I actually still have that tension and anxiety about the city I live in. Back in the day, my good friend and I listened to this album religiously, and even then it was a theme album for growing up in Southaven, Ms, which is technically a "suburb" of Memphis, even though it's a different state. Desoto County itself might as well be the second Capital of Mississippi. Lot's of old money, lots of unnecessary growth. We tore down a Taco Bell and built a new Taco Bell right beside it, while other buildings fall down and just get a chain link fence put around them for a year or two before they're finally torn down. It's a weird thing. Now, in 2019, the old money is mostly spent, so you have people that still cling to the idea that they're fancy, but they're broke, so there are a lot of older, angry consumers just going around being rude to everyone. It's a little sad.

for me modest mouse fit my persona when I was an angry cynical teenager who drank and smoked weed a lot, but honestly kind of grew out of the ranting style of modest mouse. I listened to their music consistently over and over til the point where I wore out their discography and have never been able to experience it like I once did. It's really weird, I don't think they're a bad band but a band that was a stage for me

Love that you made this video on one of the best albums that gets overlooked in recent music. Yet, I feel the argument you make is a glib comment on the socio-economic status of a young Isaac Brock and does not mention much of his style of writing. I think you should dive more into the intracacies of his lyrical turn of phrases and juxtapositions that highlight the ambiance of loneliness/seclusion within a realm so filled with people; at once a community so large yet so alienating. The dichotomy lay in his own subversive use of language that, at times, bolsters his argument of separation and societal anxiety but is so readily available to undercut a sense of solitude because the idea of identity only exists in outwardly reflecting terms of community and perceptions of one's place within the society. The duality can only exist if one facade placates another.
