A songs popularity has no bearing on their morales within the industry. I saw modest mouse on the unlimited sunshine tour with Cake. I thought they were god awful then and with the exception of Float on, I still think they are, so from this persons perspective, they havn't changed anything about them.

Modest Mouse
 

The thing that I hate about Modest Mouse is that I've been listening to their stuff for a couple years and so has my brother, we've both gotten crap about their name the whole time, we went and saw them and whenever I would wear a modest mouse tshirt my friends would always use their name to make fun of them, and then Float On came out and they all tell everyone that they've been listening to them forever, which sucks because they went from making fun of them because they had "a stupid name" to loving them just because one song got big. I think Modest Mouse deserves the fame their getting and this happens alot with bands that get big, but I hate it when people judge a band by their name or if their male or female or any other stupid reasonings to hate them.

No one like Modest mouse? Now that is just too sad.....

Surely what you've said there is no reason to hate Modest Mouse, surely its more of a reason to ignore people who judge bands on anything other than the music. Yes, it's a rubbish name for a band, but so is Led Zeppelin.

theyre decent....float on is overplayed though.

float on is not good.

their new cd is not good.

anything before that is amazing. some of the best stuff ever. i hate that they are getting popular off of their sub-par stuff

What's wrong with that though? They are getting popular, meaning that more people know who they are, and can go out and buy the old cd's. They can still play the old tracks live, and that means nothing but good things surely?

Seriously mr "David Frost" there new album rocks. And So do they. Don't diss Modest Mouse.

:rolleyes: Oh good, another person who cant take criticisms of their favourite bands..
