First of all, Insulting this record would be like making fun of a kid with down syndrome because many may not know this, but Isaac and the band went through a lot of hardships while making this album: Jeremy leaving, DUI's attempted murder charges, jail time, they actually started over at a point, and the list goes on. you can see it in the lyrics, its about bad news and how bad shit happens, etc.
But that out of they way, this was an alright album, but compared to their last 3 LP's it doesn't compare, and its hard to blame the record company because EPIC did a great job with the Moon & Antartica. It was Isaac's choic to make an album with shorter songs, but the thing we love about Modest Mouse IS the 7 minute songs and deep lyrics and cheesy effects. He's supposed to be writing for the FANS not the masses.
Regardless, I think this is a very cool song and has great meaning. along with Bukowski, Blame it on the Tetons and The Good Times Are Kiling me.

@764-mouser no. He’s supposed to be writing for HIMSELF. He owes no one anything.
