Modest Mouse - The Golden Casket (June 25, 2021) • Page 13

or it's the worst song in their entire discog. very different strokes lol

 

I find a different track catching my attention with each listen …such a great album

 

woah woah woah we gotta get this person a frosty cold ice cream stat

 

I'd rather have something to think about on this long drive tbh

 

I've listened through about 10x. Honestly, it took several spins for it to click with me. The first few listens, nothing was sticking with me whatsoever, but eventually it did and now I’m super into this.

 

Imagine not having “fuck your acid trip, I need to get home” stuck in your head.

 

I really love the opener. Like, "it's my favorite song right now" type of love.

 

Hey thread, fuck your acid trip I need to get home

 

I think we’re lucky is my favorite. Those trumpets.

 

Wooden Soldiers is my #1 for sure, closely followed by Back to The Middle. Album has been on steady repeat since last week.

 

Yeah after having this for a week I absolutely love it. The only song that kinda feels out of place is lace your shoes.

 

after spending some time with this album, daaaaamn. Wooden Soldiers is a god-tier MM song.

 

agree on the wooden soldiers love. just not sold on much else.

 

The Golden Casket is Good News For People Who Love Modest Mouse

New feature on the album!

 

that was a cool read. I'm still not feeling this but reading all the things you all loved about it makes me want to keep trying

but even if this never grows on me, "you just being here being you's enough for me" justifies the whole album. one of my favourite moments in their discography

 

I'm not a fan of 80% of the album. Some of the lyrics and repetitive nature of some things are lazy and off-putting, but I really do like Transmitting Receiving. I honestly like Stranger To Ourselves more and I'm not a huge fan of that album.

Also, We Are Between just feels like it was ripped from We Were Dead and that's kind of cool.

 

What song does it sound ripped from? "Lampshades on Fire" and "The Ground Talks..." (two songs I love) sound way closer to being a "Dashboard" rip than anything on the new album

 

Lampshades sounds so much more like it's from Good News.

And it's something about the rhythm and effects of the guitar on We Are Between that makes it feel like it's a oceany type song that blends well with Florida, Dashboard and stuff like that.

 

I honestly thought We Are Between would have fit in perfectly on STO.

 

I've had a few listens to this and like, don't love, it so far. I find myself drawn to the more sentimental moments. Back half of Wooden Soldiers is particularly phemonenal.

Just came here to say I am listening to Strangers to Ourselves. And I just skipped Pistol and Ansel. And now that album is like really really good.

 

I genuinely love Pistol

 

Just saw The Districts are opening on this tour if anyone knows anything about them

 

Pistol is good, and I think Ansel is great

 

My kids just discovered the Sugar Boats animation video and they're infatuated with it.

 

Also, speaking of my kids, 'Fuck Your Acid Trip' came on in the car last night and my wife made me turn it off
