I love MM! and they were great in 05. but i'm super pissed they pushed their new album back, MM doesn't seem to like to tour all that much, at roo05 he didn't say a thing to the crowd, which is fine I guess to let the music speak for itself, but I think Mr.Brock could've made his show 7x more enjoyable if he were to hype the crowd up, creating a show with more energy and particapation. but whateva, they stilll put on a perty good show................... would like to see'um this year, specially uglyCassanova since iv'e never even thought about the UglyC in a live setting,,,but i'm bittersweet on MM showing up at all, i'd like to see them again but they seem stuck in the friggin west coast, too good to show up and blow the barn doors off of the raddest festival in the land.
i'd say Swan Lake would be a worthy replacement. wolfparade or suset rubdown whould make me happy as hell tooo.

Swan Lake is such a longshot it's silly. But Wolf Parade would rage, man! As for the Mouse, I'm always ready to see them. They put on one of the most fun shows I have ever seen. But it was in a bar, and I wonder how that translates to a festival crowd. Same thing for Hold Steady. I saw them in Lousiville, maybe 1000 people, and the encore ended with 50 kids onstage dancing. I just hope they bring for the roo crowd!

I'll be going anyways but I've been wanting to see their names on the list so bad. Definitely one of my favs. I, too am debating whether to listen to their album now or later. Im sure its great.
i haven't heard the album yet but my buddy is telling me that it might be "their best ever." those are big words so i'm trying to get my hands on it as soon as possible.

I've heard the new album, and its ok, like i said in a previous thread, i much prefer the new KOL. I saw them in 05', and was very underwhelmed, so i could definatly do without this time, but im sure they'd make a lot of people happy, and clear up a possible conflict for me, so i wouldnt mind havin them at roo. ;D
Just listened to the new album, quite impressed. It's waaaaaaaaay better than Good News, but still not quite on the level of Lonesome Crowded West or Moon and Antarctica. I would love to see MM there so bad, especially if they can play a long set.
Listening to the new album right now and I think it's right up there with their best. I've had Dashboard on heavy rotation for weeks and it's great to hear it in context.
Karma to the linky person (tho' I'd already pre-ordered it from iTunes, something I've never done before).
i think it's every bit as good as moon and antartica, and better in some ways.
I can't agree with this at all, but it certainly exceeded my rather low expectations. Brock is able to apply his vocal delivery to Marr's guitar hooks surprisingly well, which was always the breaking point for this record when it was announced(I expected it to be a disaster). Pretty great record, that was rather unexpected for me, and it makes me want to see them added even more.

Picking a favorite Modest Mouse album is like trying to pick your favorite child. They are all great for there different qualities. They are all good some just shine a little brighter than the others. The new one is real good though. Brock's best work may be with Ugly Casanova though. He also did a real good job with Wolf Parade's album(Apologies to the Queen Mary ).
