I took a train to a sleepy little medieval town in Switzerland once, and I decided on a whim to listen to The Lonesome Crowded West. Definitely one of my favorite albums of all time. But what I realized then is that for better or for worse, The Lonesome Crowded West is distinctly American, probably the greatest modern american album. I realized that all the people around me there in Europe probably couldn't truly understand The Lonesome Crowded West fully without coming from the states (or canada, I guess). I grew up in white-flight suburbs in the rust belt, right on the edge of the sprawl, and it was so depressing to see the sprawl expand every year. Every year there'd be a couple new strip malls and cookie-cutter subdivisions in place of farms. So many of those storefronts were never filled.

Them touring it 25 years later and performing in my city on the 27th of November, two days before my 28th birthday, when I never thought I would make it to 27, was something I can never ever ever be more grateful for. Me and one of my very best friends in the whole world got to see the band play together just before Jeremiahs passing and I can't express how lucky I feel. I never thought I would see this album life, ever. So much love. So so much love. Rest in peace, what a sweet soul.

I personally think that The Moon & Antarctica is their finest album, Modest Mouse at their musical peak, and also my favorite... With that being said, The Lonesome Crowded West absolutely changed my life... The lyrics and style were unlike anything I'd ever heard at the time and the religious motifs Isaac played around with totally confirmed feelings I always had... He saw the world in a different way than most others and could express it better than anyone I've ever known of... Mr. Brock and Co. opened my eyes to a whole new universe of thinking and believing and karmic appreciation... I have a son named Isaac as thank you for this gift of music and knowledge given to the world for all these years... Great documentary by the way!

Dann Gallucci is the reason why I bothered giving modest mouse a chance. Huge murder city devils fan. Saw them in my hometown in the late 90's

Now 25 years later and still one of my all time favorite albums. Super pumped for the upcoming LCW tour and specifically to hear a handful of songs I haven't heard live yet! See you in Chicago!

Shame they didn't talk about Heart Cooks Brain, probably the best song Isaac ever wrote.

I just learned of Jeremiah's death last month and had to come watch this again. Thank you. Best wishes, as little as it means, to his wife and six year-old son.

Awesome documentary. Since the very first time I heard them, which was back in 1997, I've been a huge fan. Musical style all of their own. Great music with emotional lyrics (which I'm sure many can relate to) is simply contagious. They are by far my favorite band. Period!

"Broke". That version is on the end of "Interstate 8", but there is also a 7" single version which can be found on the early singles compilation "Building Nothing Out Of Something" released 1999 by Up Records .

Rest in Peace Jeremiah Green. Your music that you helped create with the rest of the band changed my life and set me on the path to follow in your footsteps. I won't let you down. God save and bless you a thousand times over and thank you for the legendary music.

I have seen this documentary many times, and just now noticed Isaac’s nails are painted silver in it. Masterpiece album, by the way! Awesome to see it has past its 20th anniversary.

It's my favorite album of all time. Blew me away the 1st time I heard it. Subsequently, it helped through rough parts of my life more once. Been a huge fan for 20 years. Thanks for all the great music. RiP Jeremiah.

When I was a little kid, my mom would listen to good news for people who live bad news when it came out in the car all the time. As a kid I just thought they sounded super weird and some songs were even creepy lol. I specifically remember thinking ocean breathes salty made me super sad. Now almost 20 years later and they’re my favorite band of all time. Funny how music taste changes over the years.

One of the things i love about this band is their willingness to try new things. They take risks, they try new sounds, and often these huge swings connect. Even when a song fails, at least it fails big, not because it's boring. They're brilliant!

Modest Mouse changed the way in which I experience elements of music, plus the word; where all combine, and are not only heard, but felt on a level of energy. Pitches are like tuning forks, in which atone our inner frequency to align the elements within our conciousness. Thank you Isaac for your Creative Genius, and the rest of the crew for being the support stucture as a vessel in which housed the element of the word. This band is a representation of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit; the Five Elements of true magic. Thank you, Pitchfork.

Jesus, Isaac Brock was and is a genius. I listened to "This is a Long Drive..." today for the first time, then watched this. I used to think "Modest Mouse has a cool name, but the band is kind of boring". I'm so glad I stopped and tried out their music more. I have infinite more respect for Isaac, and I'll be listening to "Lonesome Crowded West" and "This is a Long Drive..." a whole lot in the near future.
