Description

We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank is roughly the sixth studio album by Modest Mouse and a fantastic one that that! They really started to gain mass popularity with their last album: Good News For People Who Love Bad News. Another album that should be added to your collection. Anyway, their latest album is fantastic with well devised lyrics, multiple instrumentation, and several layers of melodic changes per song.

I love every song on this album except “We’ve Got Everything” which has some slightly annoying background singing. Other than that, I haven’t been able to put the album down for the last couple of weeks.

   My kids love Dashboard. So much so, that I got sick of listening to it.
