Lmao
I'm surprised it made it past F tier. It's honestly straight garbage
THIS PLANE IS DEFINITELY CRASHING
Also the moon and Antarctica is AT LEAST A tier
THIS BOAT IS OBVIOUSLY SINKING
E tier maybe
yeah nah man
it's a fuckin S tier.
AND MY HEART Has slowly dried up
*Moon & Antarctica gets b tier*
everyone: I'm gonna hit you on the face, I'm gonna punch you in your glasses
RIGHT NOW!!!
*Moon & Antarctica gets b tier*
I just got a message, it says that hell has frozen over, I got a phone call from the Lord, sayin' Hey boy, get a sweater, right now.
*B a s s L i n e*
It's one of the worst albums I've ever heard no one likes that album
@@aesop2733 thank you, Aesop Rock the rapper. Very cool.
@@orangedalmatian it's their worst album except they never put out a good one
the moon & antarctica is not b tier!
It’s a masterpiece
Moon and Antarctica > Lonesome Crowded West, any day
@@andyspendlove1019 no
@@andyspendlove1019 lonesome crowded west is of the 3 greatest albums ever made
@Ivory_ Lagiacrus_YT ¥>€
The Lonesome Crowded West is the album that made me fall in love with listening to entire albums
Ditto
I love those kind of albums. Those precious few you can play front to back and never skip a tune.
@@collinmc90 Precious few? there’s loads of amazing front to back albums. Although I’ve always be an full length albums>singles guy.
@@collinmc90 I haven't skipped tracks on albums for years now. Listening back to back is the way it these things are meant to be listened to.
Same
I have been waiting for this moment for my entire life.
Agreed, Kayden.
And then he puts The Mouse and the Antartica in B tier
My heartbeat is quickening
For real though.
@@carw8127 😪
I really wish my late wife could watch this vid, I wanna hear her take on this. She loved Modest Mouse, and actually had the same birthday as the release of This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Talk About.
Her favorite album and the one I’ve listened to most is Building Nothing out of Something; helps me feel her around again💔
"You're an angel with an amber halo"
Hope she rests in peace
I’m sorry, rip to her.
I really love the maritime vibe in We Were Dead, feels like a long night on a ghost ship
Yeah, it has a pretty distinct atmosphere. I love it. Definitely an A for me. Some days it's an S.
The whole album was meant to be songs about maritime and fishing boat disasters, apparently
I think it's why No one's first and you're next hits so hard for me. Love me that maritime vibe of Autumn Beds, Whale Song, King Rat
That's definitely part of what I love about it, maritime vibes are an easy way to make me love a piece of music lol.
“We were all drowsing in cruise control” is the lyric on that album that summarizes it for me. A for me for sure and I love the boat vibes so much
Good News for People Who Love Bad News was my introduction to Modest Mouse and I was very surprised to see people hate on it. Very much agree is A.
I Can't agree more
It's definitely an A, but it was also my introduction and I really played that CD to death back when I was obsessed with MM. It ended up being the one I got bored of the quickest. I've since revisited it though and it's one of their best for sure.
Just compared to moons and tlcw it’s not as good but to each their own
Agreed, it was also my introduction to modest mouse got it when I was 14. Then I forgot about them for years and in my mid twenties I went and listened to all the old stuff and was blown away.
As a huge mouse fan going in, losing Jeremiah Greene as drummer mattered. It changed the chemistry.
Glad these guys gave Johnny Marr a chance to make a name for himself
Nice meme
A nobody from Manchester.
I always figured he'd get bigger, but I guess it wasn't meant to be
@@SpadePyro well that’s just perspective, he’s huge in certain places
you mean you're glad ennio morricone gave johnny marr a chance to make a name for himself
I rented a Lonesome Crowded West CD when I was 14 from my local library because the album cover looked cool and listened to it non-stop for months, collecting all kinds of late fees. Happy to see it wasn't just nostalgia that made this album hit my ears so perfectly.
If Lonesome Crowded West isn't S Tier
He's wrong
Edit: he's right.
*W E L L!*
Long drive deserved it too but I can't be too upset about that one getting an A
@@jbomb7867 moon and Antarctica deserved it
Spoiler alert
@@DGincorporated1 David it's in the thumbnail
Was hoping we'd see Building nothing out of Something on here or even Interstate 8, but yes, good list!
YESSSS. Would've much rather heard his thoughts Building Nothing over Sad Sappy Sucker, personally. My favorite collection of Modest Mouse songs!
@@bentley230 same, nothing out of something would have gotten an s from me.
Sometimes im so full of shit that it should be a crime
Leaving out Interstate 8, The Fruit That Ate Itself, Night on The Sun, Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks, and Building Nothing out of Something (and Ugly Cassanova)... so much important music out of MM discography just completely ignored. I get it those are EPs, but to really understand MM you have to include those. Maybe even add on a second tier list for EPs... His current list is just incomplete.
1.building nothing out of something
2. long drive...
3.lonesome crowed west
4.moon & antarctica
5. good news for p...
6. we were dead before the ship even sank
7. strangers to ourselves
I'm shaking rn. Moon and Antarctica is a damn masterpiece.
My 2nd favorite album of all time and melon puts it in B :(
@@Lancelot30 I legitimately can't fathom putting Good News over it; thinking that an album with songs as bland as "Dance Hall," "Bury Me With it," and "One Chance" is better than an album with such haunting masterpieces in its deep cuts as "Perfect Disguise," "The Stars are Projectors," and "Life Like Weeds"
Man put Good News above The Moon and Antarctica. wtf
Easily an A. At least.
@@andyspendlove1019
Dance Hall is a bop, tho.
Modest Mouse in the late 90s were such a force to be reckoned with.
@Luke BtS is amazing
@@MyBeautifulDarkTwistedFantasy6
Anthony no like BtS.
@@caketits2723 Sheep go to heaven, Goats go to hell.
@@caketits2723 oh no that means we can’t like them
@@RektRL
Nah, never said that.
I do need to give them another listen, though. I sometimes fall into the trap of seeing a related artist that I listen to, then being underwhelmed because it's not just more of the artist I love, lol. Gotta come at them with a fresh perspective.
Building Nothing Out of Something deserves more love.. It gets overlooked a lot since it's technically a collection of B-sides but it's easily on par with the rest of their 90's and early 00's output
One of the saddest records I’ve ever heard, but honestly incredible.
Agreed. Interstate 8, Broke, Never Ending Math Equation, Grey Ice Water... that album is amazing.
@@fishfur9530 No one ever mentions Whenever You Breathe Out, I Breathe in and I think that’s one of the most beautiful songs ever made.
It’s better than Moon or Lonesome
@@Lancelot30 Gonna be honest here. I like that song sonically, but the lyrics are too straightforward for me. I'll probably come around to it eventually, maybe if I'm going through a depressive episode.
Moon and Antarctica at B is the most blasphemous thing I've seen Fantano do in all my years of watching. If anything Good News is B, Moon is S and everything else is right.
Antarctica is S, Good News is A, We Were Dead is B. Get it straight.
Good News deserves an A.
@@dandur7124 I don't disagree with this.
@@bsparks you trying to NOT FIGHT ME, BRUH?!?! COME AT ME, BRUH.
Long Drive is my favorite album of theirs. One of my favorites of all time too. Underrated even within their fanbase.
S- m&a
A- this is a long drive, lcw
B- good news
C- we were dead, sappy sucker
F- strangers to ourselves
Moon and Antarctica in my opinion is one of the most dull and unexplosive albums that exist in the discography. Not only is it more focused on the slower ways in the music, it’s also at a point where Isaac broke his jaw and sounded absolutely nothing like he actually does. So it’s completely impossible that you’ll ever hear moon and Antarctica played accurately live, because it simply doesn’t sound like any of the other mouse discography.
-
Personally, I’d rate moon lower than we were dead because it’s really just a low point in the band that experiences something so drastically different it sounds nothing like modest mouse in the future or the past.
Most moon fans usually just say “yeah the atmosphere of it is great” and ok, that’s cool. However that basically just means that you think it’s better to get high and listen to for most of the album.
@@Hans-yo2cq I mostly agree with you (only in comparison to other MM albums; it's still a very good album), but 3rd Planet is a contender for best MM song.
@@Hans-yo2cq i think thats such an insane statement, to each their own.
@@Hans-yo2cqwrong
It makes me feel weird when you refer to us as modest little mouses
Building Nothing out of Something must be S+ and that's why it wasn't mentioned here.
I have an original pressing of This is a Long Drive (with the misspelling of Dramamine) and it’s my most prized possession. It is easily one of their best - S tier for me.
i honestly think We Were Dead is a bit underrated. it has some of their best songs imo, especially Spitting Venom
also how is moon in b tier that album is better than sex
We Were Dead is a sentimental favourite of mine. While it might be less unique in some ways, it does have a very distinct sound that I get often get pretty nostalgic for. I also find that it has some of MM's best songs on it.
@@MikeL-gt2wz We Were Dead came out in middle school when modest mouse were my favorite band and I listened to it constantly for a year. March Into The Sea especially is an unsung hero, so much fun
a lot of my love for we were dead is middle school nostalgia but it's also genuinely a great record. like, I went back & listened to this bullet for my valentine album I loved from around the same time & was like "wow, this is really really crap".
Totally. Spitting Venom is maybe my favourite song they've done.
Agree. It's not a move forward, but it's not a step back either.
It's just a really cohesive, listenable album; it doesn't have a single bad track and the album as a whole just has a mood (as all MM albums do) that sometimes you just wanna get caught up in.
I used to listen to Modest Mouse almost religiously a few years ago. I’m thankful for them
Moi aussi
My favorite band of all time.
I feel like the I’m the only person who actually likes strangers to ourselves
I think it’s a good album, but if you’re comparing it to their other work it is severely lacking.
Nope, one of my favourite albums in general.
I really didn't like it when it came out which was a crazy shock to me as a huge MM fan. It took probably 6 months or so of regular-ish listening before it really clicked and I genuinely love it now.
Screw em, I loved it. No shame.
I like it a lot as well.
Never thought I would see the day but I’m so glad to see a mm tier list
This is a Long Drive is an amazing album. Sometimes it's hard for me to listen to it, not because it is inaccessible to me, but because how easily it depresses me. Beautiful and Meditative, yet Bleak and Soul-sucking. Not a lot of albums like it.
I’ve always been super interested in diving into Modest Mouses catalogue after hearing their more popular tracks so I’m excited to use this as a jumping in point
Enjoy. They're the greatest.
Just remember that moon and Antarctica is an S tier album, not a B tier album!
And then you'll come back and be mad at the placement of Moon and Antarctica haha
@@PrincessWhatsername I totally am, lol
Bro the “dancy talking heads influence” was Johnny Marrs guitar playing on the record.
I was trying to describe We Were Dead to someone and I said "yeah they had some guitar player on loan that I think was in some other bands." I didn't realize how much of an understatement that was until I looked up Marr's career.
@@cloudbroken IMO Marr is the king of indie rock.
Tom Waits teir list next?
You're so right about Good News being looked at as not that good for the simple fact that it got so big. All the indie snobs turned their nose up at it for that reason I know cause I was one of those people but in fact it is an amazing album.
My ranking:
S: The Moon & Antarctica, The Lonesome Crowded West
A: This is a Long Drive, Good News
B: Building Nothing Out of Something, We Were Dead
C: Strangers to Ourselves, Sad Sappy Sucker
D: N/A
E: N/A
F: N/A
Building nothing is a tier imo but other than that this is exactly my list
@@braedonsdayoff9409 It would’ve been A tier for me, but there’s tracks on there that annoy the shit out of me and just don’t belong. Specifically Workin’ on Leavin the Livin’ and All Night Diner which I’ve never understood the praise for.
Swap Good News and Building and I think you've got it!
It's like nobody cares about no one's first and you're next
Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks is better.
“Now this puts a smile on my face”
Their debut is so incredible. That's partially because it was produced by none other than Seasick Steve!
wym long drive has a sound that was never captured again, lonesome crowded west has a similar sound. they're like a pair, long drive is the rural version and lonesome crowded west is the city version
That's a fantastic way to put it. And the longer drawn out parts of like Lounge or Ohio were present on Moon & Antarctica as well.
gonna have to disagree, The moon & antarctica is easily s tier for me, my favorite modest mouse album
I have actually been waiting for years for this. As a Patreon supporter who just memes in your comment section, I want to say I appreciate this. Thank you orange fanta.
You a real one for this bro. modest mouse was my favorite band in highschool, haven't listened to them in a while so this is super nostalgic for me
You should do one for pink floyd since you haven’t talked about them much before
A Needle Drop Pink Floyd Worst to Best/Tier List is the Snyder Cut of this channel
@@thegroove14 bet Piper at the Gates of Dawn is way too high
@@dclarkmusic bet The Division Bell is exactly where it's supposed to be, though.
@@Snarl_Marx F tier, yeah definitely
Just give A Momentary Lapse of Reason the proper respect it deserves.
I wish you ranked Building Nothing Out of Something, that is one of my personal favorite Modest Mouse albums
Long Drive is my favourite album of all time and hearing Fantano talk so highly of it made me punch the air
4:22 epic voice crack, thank you Anthony
Do a Microphones/Mount Eerie tier list please!
❤️
Whatcha Doin' is the only S Tier Phil Elverum track.
Everything else can get an S- though.
You're right "good news" is a fucking underdog masterpiece. Ocean breathes salty, float on, world at large. This was an epic album.
I know you’re more than likely never gonna do it but how about a built to spill list?
That would be so awesome
I really think this would have been a perfect list to have extended plays on. Modest Mouse is significant for having deece EPs with beloved songs on them.
that "hope you're doing well" was your funniest one so far
Hilarious
Strangers To Ourselves is honestly extremely overlooked. I think it's easily one of their better records. Songs like Strangers to Ourselves, Shit in Your Cut, Tortoise and the Tourist and Of Course We Know are spine shivering. It's not as raw, production wise, as their other records but the song writing is really good and the record has a weird ominous energy to it.
Agreed. I had to jump into the comments to defend it also.
It's fucking great. I really feel like every album has been its own little experience/type of genre/feel and I think they delivered with this as much as any other album but also feel like they manage to get a more intricate type of sound with every album in a way I feel I really enjoy. I know some people think what makes them is their "simplicity" or "rawness", which personally I still think all their albums still have bits of that, but people also have to understand bands have to do something to keep it fresh for them and keep evolving their sound so they don't just end up making the same album 10 times... Which is honestly what it seems like lots of people would prefer for some reason
I wanna see Anthony rank the eps that modest mouse made like interstate 8 and
the fruit that ate itself
Good News is a type of album you don't really see anymore: a crossover that melds indie authenticity with major label resources and craft. RIP :(
The Best Room? Pups to Dust? C'mon, strangers to ourselves has some great tracks on it. It certainly isn't abbey road, but there are a few spots here and there that made the project worth while - I think it was more of an issue of the band's production process being too cluttered more than it was them selling out (I'd also blame the fact that we haven't seen StO's second part on that reason too).
I'd really like to see the band either go completely insane with its arrangements (full orchestra type of thing), or Isaac just make a solo album. Modest mouse just wasn't built to support 3 guitarists, a violinist, a double bass and a synthesizer, part of what made those earlier albums so cool was the crooked ways the members all approached their instruments, and how those approaches perfectly complemented their peers. Jeremiah Green is so sick, yet there hasn't been a groove as wicked at trucker's atlas since 2007, when they got a second drummer.
Still, I would shave my eyebrows off if it meant I could hear a new album from them, its just been too long.
We were dead is s tier imo, that album is underrated as fuck
Yea. I think its better than Good News.
You're talking straight facts about Long Drive Anthony, and as a long-time fan who gets pushback on placing it over some of the ultra-classics, I appreciate you
and spot on regarding Good News, you make me feel so seen
Fantano is just mad he got eaten by a pack of wild family dogs. Do a Spoon tier list melon.
A wild pack of family dogs
Came running through the yard
As little Cal played
The dogs took him away
And I guess he was eaten up, okay
Yeah, he was eaten up, okay
My Melon's crying melon juice now
My melon's crying melon juice now
Melon put Moon in B-tier now
This is great
Everywhere and his nasty parlour tricks? Building nothing out of something? Sharpen your teeth by Ugly Casanova? Thanks for the tier list but goddamn I wish at least one could've gotten mentioned
Unpopular Opinion: Though it doesn't have my all-time favourite songs, Strangers to Ourselves is my favourite album.
I found Fantano’s complete disdain for it baffling. Only a couple songs maybe I’ll skip (especially the Ground Walks which sounds like a weaker, extended version of Dashboard), but overall so many cool ideas and catchy tunes. Sugar Boats, the Best Room and Of Course We Know would be my faves. Also credit to Pistol for being one of their strangest songs (and inspired by the guy who killed Versace!)
Huge Modest Mouse fan here!! I got a big hit of serotonin when I saw this in my recommended! While I agree with most of your choices, I'm gonna give a hard disagree that WWD is in C tier. Personally, I think it is incredibly underrated and that it should be B tier at the lowest (I'd give it an A, but MM is my favorite band of all time so...). My reason for this is that, despite the band becoming larger (up until Good News, MM consisted of only 3 members) and adopting a more mainstream/pop sound, they still really hit a sweet spot with this album.
You have March Into the Sea, where Isaac's vocal delivery really shines and compliments the lyrics as they both descend into madness and paint a hellscape by the end of the song. You have Parting of the Sensory, an existential nihilistic view on life, where the instruments are foreboding and droning, but lead up to a chaotic end, full of inherent anger that has the same feel as almost all of LCW (have you heard the first dissonant chord in this song before it picks up??? It's such a strong feeling). You have two great stand-alone songs with Dashboard and Missed the Boat that, despite the pop-y feel, still deliver darker lyrics. Little Motel, Fly Trapped in a Jar, People as Places, are all really great songs. And Spitting Venom??? One of the best MM songs there is. Absolutely should have been the closer on the album.
I could just gush and get into detail on almost all of the songs, but I am getting too passionate about this, haha.... Would have loved to have seen Building Nothing Out of Something (especially since you included SSS), Interstate 8, Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks, and No One's First and You're Next on this list, despite them not being considered full albums, because songs like Other People's Lives, edit the Sad Parts, Night on the Sun, and King Rat (just to name 4 truly incredible songs that wouldn't have been in any of the albums in the video) deserve recognition.
Anyway, huge rant! I am just really passionate about MM and I'm glad a big youtuber spoke very positively of them and I hope it gets more people interested in listening! Still waiting on a new album and hoping it isn't StO part 2 and that it is personally loved from the first listen.... :')
Do a tier list of Viper's discography.
Got to see Modest Mouse TWICE in my life. First was the MTV Download festival 2007? 2008?, @ The Gorge Ampitheater in Washington, and then again the following year ON HALLOWEEN @ The Knitting Factory in Spokane, Washington (literally the entire crowd was in costumes, a PHENOMENAL cherry on top to their live show experience) and both of these shows were amongst the greatest experiences in my entire life, still. Especially at The Gorge (if you havent been there, it is absolutely stunning, the most gorgeous place to perform & watch a show). This was circa We Were Dead era, and that is BY FARRRR my favorite album of theirs. It is incredible, front to back. And having them perform Spitting Venom as an "encore" song, ah man... they are magical in their live performances. Memories I will NEVER, EVER forget ❤
Awesome bro
The Lonesome Crowded West for next classics week!
Watching this 3 years later as a longtime MM fan (over 20 yrs, wtf I'm old now 😭) and I would love to see Fantano do a tier list of their EPs cause honestly, some of their coolest songs live on things like Interstate 8, Everywhere and his nasty Parlour Tricks, Fruit that ate itself, and even No one's first had really great tracks. Just drop it in the comments, Fantano. We don't even need a full vid!
Johnny Marr plays on We Were Dead that's probably were all the post punk comes from
I like how the song “barnacles” appears on every album, sometimes up front, sometimes morphed, sometimes buried almost beyond recognition.
Barnacles is not just one song, it is a meandering think tank which permeates a presence on all Modest Mouse albums. I have been to many MM shows and have lost my voice from shouting ‘Barnacles!!’ between songs and while on one occasion I am sure Isaac Brock heard my repeated requests, he dutifully blanked me and continued the performance without a rendition of barnacles, but he didn’t need too as the entire set of songs are all refashioned versions of Barnacles. The only album you don’t hear or feel the presence of Barnacles on is Strangers to Ourselves, this is why the album is poorly received. This comment is not a dig at Brocks writing skills, rather- this is a celebration of the true essence of all MM architecture that ends up being an album loved by many because indeed- like Dorothy and Toto leaving the colourful land of OZ and return to the bleak and barren sepia wastelands of Kansas with an eerie post-Twister lull, they are home again…and she realises all of the people in OZ were just representations of her reality, Kansas is “Home” so to -Barnacles is “home”
Spitting Venom and Parting of the Sensory put We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank into the A tier on their own.
S tier: Fruit that ate itself, sad sappy sucker, long drive, lonesome
A tier: the moon, good news
Meh tier: everything else.
Casanova gets an A tier mention
Haven't seen yet but I hope We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank is highly rated
:(
Yeah, this was exactly my hope going in. Glad there's some in this boat / ship / sinking ship / whatever.
I’m actually I think fine with what he said about the album. I just wish it was in B tier. It just gets a little underrated in the fandom imo
Not compared to their other stuff. They barely had one bad track before then - but about half of that album isn’t great
@@chrismartin3197 I disagree. I like half of it and love the other.
I recently had someone describe strangers to ourselves as modest mouse doing a ween album and ever since im a big fan
You should have maybe mentioned the addition of Jonny Marr into the line-up. Great stuff though!
I loved We Were Dead and it was always my favorite album. Then I stopped dragging my feet and listened to Lonesome West in its entirety. And man, now it’s complicated to how I view their popular era.
I loved we were dead before the ship even sank
I've been having photosensitive partial seizures since 2022. I've been a fan of Modest Mouse since 2009, and took the band on as, for lack of a better term, special interest as an autistic person. They were my last concert in June 2022, and I was lucky enough to see Jeremiah before his passing. RIP Jeremiah, condolences to his family and thank you to this band for putting on a great show.
Lonsome crowded west and we were dead are peak music imo, and my opinion is correct.
Yay tier lists are back, you need to do an Interpol tier list for the people some time mellon
@trvp visuals Yeah TOBL is their best hands down easy S but El Pintor and Antics are A tier imo
The Self Titled record might be one of the worst albums I’ve ever heard. Other than that, their discography is solid.
Talking Shit About A Pretty Sunset Is So Much Of That Introspective Depth.
Mr. Brock’s Songwriting Is Heartbreakingly Overlooked.
"we were dead..." is a masterpiece, I don't know how can someone dislike it
WWDBTSES is a perfect album and deserves at least A tier if not up with crowded west. strangers deserves at least C, super catchy, could never get it out of my head. other wise agree. casket can be E tier but I know you'll give it an F
We were dead is honestly what I view as the finale of MM. It has songs that are a combination of every style on every main album and the most emotionally impactful ones yet. I adore it
Building Nothing Out of Something deserves to be on this list, even if it's not a regular studio album. So so good.
S - Good News, Lonesome Crowded, Moon & Antarctica
B - We were Dead, Long Drive, Sad Sappy
C - Stranger To Ourselves
Stranger is admittedly flawed, but has some undeniable tunes like Shit in Your Cut & The Tortoise and the Tourist - I think an E is very harsh!
The riff on Dukes Up makes me so happy
I ... think I get where you are going with Moon - it's a little less inventive and raw than Lonesome Crowded West? But to me it's kind of like Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon. A big overproduced shift from the earlier stuff, a bit less inventive - but it's still really really good. REALLY good. It's gotta be A list, sorry.
His thoughts on Long Drive finally put into words how I feel about that album. I use it when I'm having an awful day and it's perfect. It really is meditative
Moon & Antarctica getting B-Tier made me a little heated, but the Good News love brought me back good one Fantano love you
I listened to Lonesome on CD in my car so many times back in the day that now my mind anticipates the next sequential track at the end of each song whenever I hear them on Spotify, lol.
Been bumping a lot of MM recently. This is great
Your rankings are absolutely spot on here. Happy to see Good News For People Who Love Bad News get the appreciation it deserves.
Australopithecus always has been and always will be a bona fide banger.
Call me basic, call me simp but Good News is one of my favorite albums of all time and thank you Melon for giving it the praise it deserves 🙏
daft punk tier list next? trying so hard to not be upset :(
“Such a modest mouse”
🗣 I can't do it alone
We Were Dead is easily my favourite and I think the main reason is because that was my first exposure to MM. Dashboard is my favourite song and the album design is iconic
nick cave tier list when
where is Building Nothing Out Of Something
haven't finished the vibes but the compilation building nothing out of something is up there with LCR, I love MM
the video LMAO
Modest Mouse has really faded. The last time I even heard them mentioned was when Isaac Brock bashed Portland and complained about the homeless problem, but not in a way that reflected empathy for the poor, rather, it was more like "These scumbag poors ruin my day" kind of a thing.
Fairly new to your channel, Anthony. Apparently I have been living under a rock. Smorgasbord of unsolicited Tier List suggestions: Swans, Tom Waits, Captain Beefheart, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Slayer, Yo La Tengo, Ozzy-era Black Sabbath, Black Flag, Nick Cave, Can, Eno, Minutemen, Kraftwerk, Sly and the Family Stone, Glenn Danzig (all his bands: Misfits, Samhain, Danzig), Scott Walker, PJ Harvey, XTC, Godflesh, Jesus Lizard, Steve Albini (all his bands: Big Black, Rapeman, Shellac), and even token grandees like Dylan, the Stones, and The Beatles...obviously this could be multiplied ad nauseam. Also, since you are great on these genres of metal--maybe tier lists for major thrash metal, black metal, death metal, and doom metal bands overall (comparable to your "best rappers" tier list). Any and all of these would give you occasion to talk in detail about discographies that, in significant part, predate your up-to-the-minute review schedule, but which would also, I think, allow you talk in an unusually direct way about how you see the antecedents of the music you review every month. I imagine some of these would be a ton of work, but I imagine your take on the Swans catalog, or Waits's, would be great (and potentially "controversial"--I already think you underrate Swordfishtrombones). In any case, I love your stuff: funny, insightful, sometimes polarizing (as all good critics are).
Long Drive is the greatest album ever made, I'm being serious btw
So. Good. Definitely my favorite.
What
based
Then you clearly haven't listened to many albums.
@@nl3064 i have listened to every album actually and long drive was the best out of all of them
The earliest raw stuff is the absolute best. The feeling they put into the early stuff is so much more interesting and relatability than the later stuff. Modest Mouse is similar to the Faint and how the progression almost got less authentic at the end.
Please upload these tierlist videos more I love them
