A lot of people wouldn't understand the pure genius of Modest Mouse. Those people would ask you why you listen to the 'noise' that is on your cd player, how you can like a band with a singer that uses the word 'goddamn' so much, why you spent $13.47 on this album when you could've bought the hip new rap release instead. Well, those people will also never appreciate the pure genius of this cd. While listening to it I laughed, cried and found lyrics that I will still quote continually for years. Do yourself a favour; buy the CD now before MTV tells you to do it.
