Title: Modest Ambitions
Review: Modest Mouse is a tired, under-produced hoax wallowing in cliched lyricism and pretentious, minimalist musicianship. Consider this representative excerpt from "Tiny Cities Made of Ashes":"So we're drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' coca coca colaI can feel it rolling right on downoh right on down my throat nowas we're headed down the road towards tiny cities made of ashesI'm gonna get dressed up in plastic"References to pop culture as an opiate...tired metaphors about getting "dressed up in plastic." It's not even deliberately ironic. It's just juvenile."The Moon and Antarctica" challenges the listener in some ways - mostly though, to stay awake. When the physical act of listening to music actually becomes a chore, and there is nothing redeeming, artistic or original about the message -- well, you have this album. There are plenty of other great mainstream or indie efforts worth your interest instead of this.
