The Fruit That Ate Itself

Let me start off by saying this is my 3rd favorite Modest Mouse album, (1st Lonesome Crowded West, 2nd The Moon and Antarctica.)
I find this to be the album where modest mouse really established thier sound. Parts of “This is a long drive…” sound like a totally different band. Heres the tracklist:
(Skipping untitled tracks)
1.The Waydown- 9/10-very calm and cool way to start off with.
2.Dirty Fingernails-6/10-loud, but if you try to figure what Isaac’s trying to put across…you’ll understand.
3.Sunspots-10/10-great song, great lyrics. Isaac’s voice sounds awsome on this song.
4.Fruit That ate itself-10/10-Latin percussion, heavy bass, shouting vocals, great lyrics,—recipe for an awsome song.
5.Summer-10/10-Great song about the freedom, energy, and crime that happens during the summer.
6.Karma’s Payment-10/10- Best song to end the album with. Catchy rythym, simple yet inspiring lyrics, cool bass.
In conclusion, this a shorter modest mouse album…but more like-able. I’d much rather listen to this than long drive any day. If you are a modset mouse fan seeking for a new gem, this is it.
This EP is the second but official MODEST MOUSE debut (their original intended debut by the name of SAD SAPPY SUCKER was scrapped by K Records and later re-released in light of the band’s major label outing). It’s a nice little introduction to a promising band. 9 tracks of very appealing emotional indie rock. “The Waydown” is a great track and the lo-fi sludge of “Dirty Fingernails” is amazing. After that the record kind of spaces off and doesn’t really go anywhere though..however you can certainly tell the band was headed for bigger and better things. Certainly not their best release.
