Modest Mouse » We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank
Modest Mouse‘s 2007 release We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sankis another regular album in my weekly rotation. I’d say I listen to it at least 5-6 times a week when I’m at work. Its great for just grooving when you’re busying writing some code for a project or even writing blog posts.
This is Modest Mouse’s fifth studio album and it definitely doesn’t disappoint. I’m quite particular to Dashboard and Florida on this album. You can’t help but bob your head or thump your hands on your desk when these songs are on. Little Motel is another good one towards the end of the album. I’d say for the most part you can listen to this one from start to finish without skipping any tracks. Their 2007 tour has come to a close, so let’s hope their back in the studio hard at work on some new material. Hopefully we’ll see them on tour sometime in 2008 or early 2009. I’ll be going if they come to the Boston area for sure.
