Ugly Casanova really is fantastic. I include that as a Modest Mouse album, even if it wasn't solely an Isaac Brock album. The guy from Califone is brilliant, but still.. a good number of those songs had already been written by Brock in the past.

You love Good News, so you could move forward in time to We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, but personally I don't recommend it.

I suggest that you listen to The Moon and Antarctica, I think that's definitely the next best step.

'Little Motel' is just epic, nothing especially adventurous about it, radio-friendly even. I just think it suits them and it's an inspired chorus.
Eek. In my opinion, Dashboard isn't that bad (just like Float On isn't "that bad"), just too much voice whoring and non-Modest Mouse-ness. Little Motel does everything wrong for me, it's one of the only Modest Mouse songs that I can label "boring". If you've listened to Space Travel is Boring, I find that much more enticing (and I actually like the song, but it's still quite slow and empty; purposefully).
