The other thing is I generally love anything with horns. And I have to ask, because its my nature, but do you think you don't like the album or the critical acclaim because Good News is when they blew up by exponential figures.

I'm always weary about things like that. To me the best thing about Good News... was not "Float On" but "Bukowski" and similalry with Ship Sank... not "Dashboard" but "March into the Sea" or "Missed the Boat."
Good News was my intro to the band. I just prefer the older stuff.

I concur those are better, but my faves from those albums are: Bury Me With It, The View, Satin In A Coffin / Florida, Missed The Boat, and People As Places As People.

Modest Mouse is one of my favorite bands FYI.
