INFO: Modest Mouse is one of those big alternative rock bands that came out of the post-grunge era in the US. By putting out quality music, doing interesting collaborations and never breaking part, the band members moved to the forefront of modern rock music. But most fans would say that one of their albums did most of the work for them. Their second full-length album The Lonesome Crowded West from 1997. It was a versatile album filled with everything from brooding acoustics to post-punk tendencies. But aside from the versatility, vocalist and guitarist Isaac Brock managed to capture something very relatable with his lyrics. His hometown was plagued by sudden urbanization, belief in a higher power changed to belief in a good career, and overall, it seemed like he struggled to grow up and embrace change. A lot of young people resonated with this, and the album has since become a fan favorite, despite of not giving the band the critical success that they’d receive with later releases. In this video we'll take a closer look at the story of the band during the time of the recording and release of this album.

One of my all time favorite albums. I met Issac awhile back when he was touring and came to my hometown in Virginia. He seemed very indifferent about talking with me so I asked him for a picture and told him that I look forward to watching him perform and he KILLED IT. Anyone who is a MM fan knows that they can be iffy live, sometimes it's great and sometimes not so much but I'll always cherish that day forever.

Like many Modest Mouse fans, I consider “The Moon & Antarctica” to be their all-time magnum opus. And many mainstream music listeners only know them by their breakout LP “Good News For People Who Love Bad News”. Nevertheless, I give you massive respect for reviewing one of their lesser-known independent albums. It’s a fantastic album, though my initial impression was that it didn’t have much more to offer than their first album “This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About”, which I prefer over it. Thank you for creating this video, so that I can understand more about it.

Wow, insightful thoughts, especially on Brock's lyrical content. The guitars, bass, and even drums have always been front and center for me on this record. Much of the words took a back seat for decades, with a few popping out here and there to illustrate basic themes (ie: aggressive urbanization, the emptiness of consumerism, road travel, strangely juxtaposed circumstances, longing for deeper meaning amid the digital revolution, etc). You really captured this. So much so, that I can forgive the "Teeth Like God's Shoeshine" snafu. Great work.

I think the urbanization perspective is a bit too narrow. More generally, Isaac was speaking about the feeling of isolation he was feeling despite living in an environment dense with other people. He has tended to express feelings of disconnection or depression, in opposition to the feelings he has and expresses other times where he feels ecstatic and connected to others, which reflects his experience with bi-polar disorder. He's just expressing feelings mostly generated by internal factors but made more ironic in the context he was living in.

Man, I feel this so much. I actually still have that tension and anxiety about the city I live in. Back in the day, my good friend and I listened to this album religiously, and even then it was a theme album for growing up in Southaven, Ms, which is technically a "suburb" of Memphis, even though it's a different state. Desoto County itself might as well be the second Capital of Mississippi. Lot's of old money, lots of unnecessary growth. We tore down a Taco Bell and built a new Taco Bell right beside it, while other buildings fall down and just get a chain link fence put around them for a year or two before they're finally torn down. It's a weird thing. Now, in 2019, the old money is mostly spent, so you have people that still cling to the idea that they're fancy, but they're broke, so there are a lot of older, angry consumers just going around being rude to everyone. It's a little sad.

Love that you made this video on one of the best albums that gets overlooked in recent music. Yet, I feel the argument you make is a glib comment on the socio-economic status of a young Isaac Brock and does not mention much of his style of writing. I think you should dive more into the intracacies of his lyrical turn of phrases and juxtapositions that highlight the ambiance of loneliness/seclusion within a realm so filled with people; at once a community so large yet so alienating. The dichotomy lay in his own subversive use of language that, at times, bolsters his argument of separation and societal anxiety but is so readily available to undercut a sense of solitude because the idea of identity only exists in outwardly reflecting terms of community and perceptions of one's place within the society. The duality can only exist if one facade placates another.

Hmm... to the best of my knowledge, this is still their most highly regarded album, critically. It goes it pretty much descending order after this, though obviously GNFPWLBN was the most popular, and I personally think The Golden Coffin is a move in the right direction after Strangers.

My town is suffering from urbanisation as well Their cutting down all the trees and their putting in more and more properties for the lower class ppl from the ghetto Its not good because they are very dodgy I am struggling with change too because I have Autism But also their erasing things from my childhood such as the tree at the park I use to climb with my friends Mowing it down for the sake of economics and planting houses nobody asked for

I disagree that Isaac is talking about God at all in "Heart Cooks Brain." He is inverting the common idiom, "On my way to God knows where," to say that "God don't know," which could mean there is no God to know or care where he is going, or that he's going somewhere so remote and uncharted that even God hasn't been there.

@@jackdarko4486 Idiomatically, but not philosophically, like when someone says, "Goddammit, that Jack Darko is a pedantic fuck." They're definitely talking about Jack Darko, but with an idiom that uses "God" to give a sense of severity. In the instance of the song, Isaac is expressing how severely remote his destination is using a similar idiom in a similarly tongue in cheek way.

Modest Mouse is my favorite band of all time. Especially the old stuff like Long Drive, Lonesome Crowded West, Building Nothing Out Of Something, Everywhere And His Nasty Parlour Tricks, The Fruit That Ate Itself, M&A, WWWD, GNFPWLBN... Fuck, it's all so good. If anyone else love them, I started making lesson videos for a lot of their old songs and some Pavement as well. Will do more 90s indie bands. kzfaq.info/love/9ajSd1ZwnYt3U3KnN9uazg As for bands you should do next, I'd suggest Pavement or Built to Spill!!
