Music reviews of We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
Music Review: Good music!
Rating: 4 Stars
Like most other Modest Mouse records, this is an excellent disc, if erratic. It hits on most songs though, and I like it. It's more poppy than their previous releases, but I still think it's a good sound. Four stars.
Description of We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank
Limited edition two disc (CD + NTSC/Region 0 DVD) Japanese pressing of the 2007 album from the U.S. Alternative superheroes features one bonus track ('King Rat') plus a bonus DVD that contains three videos: 'Dashboard', 'Float On' and 'A Fisherman's Tale). . We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank is a new chapter in Modest Mouse's career with the new infusion of Johnny Marr and the extra percussion muscle brought by Plummer and Peloso. The new album features instant radio hit 'Dashboard.' Sony. 2007.Their last album may have given them a certifiable radio hit, airtime on VH1, and a Kidz Bop tribute, but listening to the follow-up to 2004's Good News for People Who Love Bad News, you might get the sense that the members of Modest Mouse are flinching at the spotlight. We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, the group's fifth full-length release, is denser than its predecessor with tunes that seem willfully harder to penetrate. Even the addition of former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr to the line-up seems incidental, as Modest Mouse's off-kilter sound stays largely intact. But keep listening and it becomes obvious that the band hasn't lost any of his pop bite, especially midway through with a sweep of terrific songs like "Missed the Boat," "Education" and "Little Motel." It's hard to tell if there's another "Float On" in the bunch. In fact, the first single, "Dashboard," is one of the weakest Isaac Brock has ever penned. With Shins James Mercer adding lovely vocals to "Florida," however, it hardly matters. --Aidin Vaziri
