what i dont like is that everyone either thinks the songs are about relationships (which i personaly dont think modest mouse would waste their time with) or the band selling out or sticking to its roots. i've been to many other modest mouse songs and these are all the same guesses by everyone. i think honesly that 80% of everything they write is "inside writing" and that it has a lot of significant value to the band but we dont know much about it. (like portugals songs use weird imagery from alaska that doesnt mean much to one of us.) just a thought
