Top Ten Best Modest Mouse Albums

The Top Ten
1 The Lonesome Crowded West

I love this album, it's one of the best albums of the nineties and of all time.

I listen to this album regularly it's just so good

2 The Moon & Antarctica

You know a band is good when you can't decide which song is their best. You know a band is great when you can't decide which album is their best. Modest Mouse is great.

Every song on this album is amazing.

Atmospheric. Beautiful.

3 Good News for People Who Love Bad News

It's got their best song Float On and a bunch of other very notable ones.

4 This Is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About

This album is amazing. Obviously I (like everyone else) think that The Lonesome Crowded West and The Moon and Antarctica are their crowning achievements, but this album is still my favorite from them for me. It has such a unique middle ground between their homemade, low budget sound and the catchy and punk appeal that would make them rock stars later. It's also edgy as hell, lyrically stellar, and the emotion that Isaac puts behind all of these songs (not a weak song here, in my opinion) is incredible. I think it should be above Good News on this list, but for me personally it takes the cake as my favorite Modest Mouse album. Listen to it

It's so different from their other albums. Maybe it's why I only listen to this one, and, well, also a few songs from a lonesome crowded west

5 We're Dead Before the Ship Even Sank

It's okay probably their weakest

6 Strangers to Ourselves

I really liked some songs on this album a lot, I still think it's light years better than We were dead before the ship even sank
