I got the new Modest Mouse CD in th mail today. I am only about half way through it so far, but it is really good. It is definitely in the same style as The Moon and Antarctica but with a slightly harder edge to it. There is also a growth to the sound. Anybody else listen to this album yet? What do you think? I will post more when the album is over. ---

Havent heard it yet, but with this MM album and Tortoise’s _It’s All Around You_ both dropping this week, I am more psyched this week than I have been about music in the past couple years. I hope to have both by the end of the week.
