Download songs. There used to be this great legal site to hear songs. Cdzinc.com but it sold out. So just download them. Amazon.com has a free download of Birds Vs. Worms.

im only familiar with their single and it gets stuck in my head so i got irritated with it...i hope their other songs are better,,

Either that or just pick up a cheap used copy of 'The Moon & Antarctica', 'Lonesome Crowded West' or 'Building Nothing out of Something'. Its worth it. I would stay away from the albums 'The Fruit That Ate Itself', 'Good News for People Who Love Bad News', and 'Sad Sappy Sucker' unless you're really into them. They're good albums, but they are bizarre. Good News is a good album, but its just by far not their best (Its their biggest commercially). The Moon and Antarctica album kicks ass all sorts of ways. Isaac Brock's voice is a little strange, but otherwise I think if you like Reilly's solo stuff, you would like The Moon and Antarctica by Modest Mouse.

Also, if you want to check out some stuff, there is some of their stuff on my internet radio thing on my website. Just click where it says 'CLICK HERE FOR FIVELITER302 TUNES' and then scroll down the list and click on the song you want to hear.

#### Good News For People Who Love Bad News. Its a good album but it is by far one of their worst. My post above explains the good ones. Some of their lyrics are just so damn good. Its definitely different from anything else that is out there now.

I disagree. Good news was a great album. One of their better. It really flows. I bet that if it had not done so well comercially then you would have liked it more. I think alot of people were turned off by its success and assumed that they "sold out". Not true.
I would not buy building something out of nothing before buying The Moon And Antartica. Then get A long ride, Then the lonesome crowdest west and then Interstate 8

No, not really. I completely embraced the new album before it came out before it even had any airplay. I had been listening to them since Moon and Antarctica (around 2000 or 2001). Good News was just way too overproduced compared to the old albums. It definitely does not have the same feel to it and that is kind of why I shun it. I know its a great album, but its just not the same.

Same with the Black Keys (if you even know who they are). They say they will NEVER record in a real studio. Most of their stuff they do on their own in their basement. GREAT STUFF too. If they were ever to use a real studio the entire feel would be ruined.
