23 - Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News

Man, I am so wanting to start hating this disc. How dare Modest Mouse get this popular. What's the world coming to? With the state of public opinion these days, I have a natural gravitation away from albums the general public gets its grubby hands all over. While I do want to see those who make good music get the most press and airplay, I just can't help but get a feeling that a disc is somehow flawed if that many of the crazy people in this world like it. But, as you can see with this disc being in my top 30, my natural tendencies have not taken over yet. Every time I listen to it I am reminded of how brilliant it is. Reckless, imperfect, but beautiful.
