I felt it was average, like Good News for people Who Love Bad News before it this albums shows Modest Mouse "grown up" but unlike bands who grow up and start experimenting they just got old and started playing laid back radio "indie" rock. Dashboad is a great pop song don't get me wrong, the album isn't that bad. It's just disappointing, I wished they'd utilized Marr much more too. Like I said, it's not bad but compared fiery Pixies and Built to Spill inspired indie-rock they were putting out before this album is just dull and I'd much rather listen to The Lonesome Crowded West or the Moon & Antarctica. I miss the days when Isaac Brock screamed about trailer parks, teen angst and religion.
