Various Artists - The Bluegrass Tribute to Modest Mouse : Something You’ve Never Heard Before [2007]

Posted on October 13, 2008 | Category: Various Artists

I don’t fit the personality-type of the majority here. I like all kinds of music, but what I like does not include Modest Mouse. Sorry folks, I’m just not into it. Every time one of their songs starts to rock, then the guy has to start singing. I can’t stand the sound of his voice. That said, I am plenty familiar with their songs, having been subjected to their entire catalog throughout my years attending art school, plus years after I’ve unfortunately chosen friends who think they are a really great band.

A friend of mine turned me onto this and I was completely blown away. This is an incredible album. At first, hearing ‘Float On’ and ‘Trailer Trash’ I was laughing, but this is no joke. My favorite ones are ‘Interstate 8′ and ‘3rd Planet’. They and other songs have this wistful, sad effect, enough to literally make you cry, — so be assured the original “emo” tag is not lost here. I mean they don’t just make these songs sound like bluegrass, — they really tear them up and play hard. I’m really in love with this album and intend to check out others in the ‘Pickin” series. And for fans of Modest Mouse, let me say I have gained a new appreciation for their songwriting, if not their sound.
