GNFPWLBN is by far my favorite and most played MM CD. There's not a bad track on the album and even the experimental songs are catchy and easy to listen to. The anger and frustration still sits at the front but somehow it seems more subtle and polished. For those of you looking to buy your first MM CD this is probably the best place to start. 5 Huge Stars.
Good quality CD from a good brand. It's what you'd expect from Target 10 years ago.

Although people who desire indie cred are often harsh on this album, I suspect that they are only like that because this album had a top 40 song on it. In fact, this is a solid Modest Mouse release. The single "Float On" is about as good as pop music gets, with clever and catchy rhythm guitar chord progressions, a sweet lead guitar melody, and meaningful lyrics. "Bury Me With It" is a great example of Modest Mouse rocking out, and "Dance Hall" highlights the band's bluegrass tendencies. If you are a fan of MM's lengthy, jam-style, 11-minute songs that have been on other albums, then this album might not be for you. It is much more poppy and concise, but still a great album overall.
Awesome CD , great band , amusing song writing

Modest Mouse has always been cutting edge but always very listenable. GNFPWLBN finds them at their peak! The horn intro immediately makes you realize that this one is just a little different. Every song flows with great instrumentalization and biting lyrics. If you are into Modest Mouse or want to hear them at their peak, then this one is for you. You will not be disappointed.
