In 2006, after a long tour supporting "Good News", Modest Mouse came back to the studio to record their fifth studio album, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank". It was fairly quick to record, and it was released on March 20, 2007. It was even more popular than "Good News". A hit single from this album was "Dashboard." After touring for over a year with R.E.M. and The National, Modest Mouse released a collection of songs not released on "Good News" or "We Were Dead" known as "No One's First and You're Next." It was released in 2009.
