Don't like em.

Modest Mouse is what we (Travis, myself, and select others) like to call an art fag.  It pretty much compares to and artist taking a bucket of paint, dipping his dick in it, then slap it on to a canvas and call it art.  The music has no form.  They all play in different key signatures from one another.  I'm not sure if they do  that on purpose or

Yeah, but with your music you still combine other things with it that make sense. It just sounds to me like each one of them could have been sitting in their own individual closet writing music then all got together and it just happened to be the same tempo.

And as for COB's lyrics... dude... they are Swedish. I'm pretty sure all of Modest Mouse's members are from America... nor does COB have a backup singer that has a lisp. Omg that shit drove me crazy. I don't exactly remember Modest Mouse playing sweep arpeggios to compensate for their horrible lyrics.

My sister left her modest mouse CD in my car a while back and I found it a few days ago. I popped it in, and my ears bled. With each song I thought the CD might get better. I wanted to like them. I tried really hard. But as hard as I tried, they sucked even harder. Every single song was absolutely horrendous. By the end of the album each track had built up my frustration and anger with the band that I almost frisbeed it out the window, hoping that the CD would die a slow and painful death as one less copy to plague the music community's existance with tasteless (non)artistic filth.

In short, I agree.

Travis,... like... I'm pretty sure you wouldn't approach Modest Mouse's members and be like " I respect you guys for your writing ability." At most, you could say something like "You guys smoke a lot of weed." (or some other comparable excuse)
