‘Lonesome Crowded West’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. I guess you need to listen Lonesome Crowded West as soon as possible. It’s natural for Modest Mouse to take a stab at ‘Teeth Like God’s Shoeshine’ considering her long-professed love for Magneto. Enjoy the show.
Heart Cooks Brain is just simply stunning. A fantastic track full of wonder. Voice of Modest Mouse in Lounge (Closing Time) is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. Jesus Christ Was An Only Child - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Doin’ The Cockroach (4:19) a good melody. Cowboy Dan is the song that really did it for me. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on Lonesome Crowded West. Modest Mouse allows each song to breathe and flourish. Modest Mouse is one of artists that allow his songs like Long Distance Drunk to stand on their own and be heard. Shit Luck is absolutely incredible. Opening track Truckers Atlas shows the best of Modest Mouse. Put Polar Opposites into car stereo for your highway driving So much energy, so exciting a sound.This track is full of harmonies and gets Lonesome Crowded West off to a relaxing start.
