Casually Ranking Modest Mouse's Discography 

I saw Modest Mouse live in 2009. It was in the middle of a heat wave, they venue was cramped, the organizers were giving out free water because they were afraid of passing out, and the band still brought so much energy. I dont think they expected to be well known there, because they seemed surprised and excited when the crowd was singing along to lesser known songs. Best concert I've ever been to.

Mannnn your content is like tailor made for me, have no idea how you aren't popping off right now. Fly Trapped in a Jar is such an underrated song

Was skeptical when I clicked, but man, I agreed with like every single one of your takes. But Bury Me With it fckn goes!! Well done and nice editing on this

This is an extremely accurate ranking. Good job.

You've got a new sub here. I really appreciate how you take the time to jump into tracks themselves as opposed to just talking generally about the record. The background imagery to reflect the tracks also adds to the entertainment value. You definitely seem like you'd be fun to talk about the band with. But dawwwwwg, no EPs? BNOOS, No One's First and Parlour Tricks are essential, man! No bullshit there!

Different city is a dope track

The drums/guitar at the end of Edit the Sad Parts is SO freaking good.

Can't even fathom putting We Were Dead above Good News. Great video still!

RANK BUILT TO SPILL!!! Especially with When the Wind Forgets Your Name newly (a few months ago) released

Rad video, you're a riot man. Excellent band, I'm so excited for the new record.

I physically gasped when I saw your subscriber and viewer count, you’re hella underrated man. For the entire video I felt like I was just talking with a buddy about music, and that’s a really hard feeling for a lot of content creators to capture today. You’re gonna blow up broskito and I can’t wait to watch you all the way, subscriber well earned! (=

Alright was contemplating it before but after this video i think I’m finally gonna sit down and listen to a modest mouse record. Thanks Kyle!

Love the style of your videos man. Subscribed!

i love a different city i mean who doesn’t wanna live in the city with no friends and family

Sweet, more Modest Mouse content to sink my teeth into! I've been digging their stuff a lot recently. P.S. Edit the Sad Parts and Styrofoam Boots are goated

Nice video! Definitely do a review of the new record when it comes out!

I’ll never understand how someone would not enjoy Satin In A Coffin

Good shit man. I feel the same way with modest mouse shaping my jam to Indie/alt-rock. Personally I would switch Bad news and M&A but that’s just me and I respect the tier list home skillet 👍🏽

bury me with it has been stuck in my head for days now and i am just begging someone to bury me with it in my head (i like the song though)

Hey squad! Sorry for the long break in content. I plan to be uploading a whole lot over the summer so make sure you hit that subscribe button if you haven't already! I'm going to be trying a lot of new ideas that I think will be a lot of fun along with the tier list videos. I'm also uploading TikToks short album reviews almost daily on TikTok if you want to check that out too :) Also we have a discord now! Come join it and chat about your favorite albums, musicians or really just anything! discord.gg/Mspd8fHFeZ Thanks for all the support you guys have been giving me. I'm really excited for the Summer and I hope you are too :)

'The Stars Are Projectors'..."Do I even have to say anything man? ". Exactly.

What a great video man. You should make more videos on Modest Mouse. We’re both like the same age and both love the shit outta Modest Mouse.

Ahh, as a huge modest mouse fan I wasn’t sure how I’d feel going into this. You really know your stuff, I feel like I’ve seen a lot of people just talk about LCW, maybe Long Drive or Moon without acknowledging anything else. This was refreshing, also Dog Paddle is the weirdest but it’s a fucking vibe heh.

Man! How do you not like Bury Me With It?? Top tier for me lol. I suppose I can let it slide... fun video! Agreed on most! Glad somebody else likes Dance Hall and We Were Dead as a whole. The energy on March Into the Sea cemented Modest Mouse as one of my all time favorites when I fired that album up in for the first time in 2007. Strangers was a bit rough, The Tortoise and the Tourist is the only one I really go back for these days.

Hell yeah dude love Dance Hall, agree with everything here.

Thanks bro

Keep up with this! Great editing, camera work. Fun personality and easy on the eyes. Almost mostly agreed, you really didn't get into Satin in a Coffin?!

Gained a new sub for sure my man. Curious to know your take on the newest one. Cant believe you don't like Devil's Workday 🤯

Sad Sappy Sucker is phenomenal in my opinion. Even all the random voice mails.

Omg great video, the MM jokes 🤣

New most underrated RU-vid channel

ive never listened to them but i think i just got convinced to

You do the same shit I do when talking about songs/albums/bands you love and saying every song is your favorite when you love music as much as I do it's like picking your favorite child it's just almost impossible you say one song is your favorite then u see another song that is your all time favorite. The struggle is to real.

A different city is one of my favorite songs of all time. I haven't heard lucky tornado. Must be an added track like the instrumental version of custom concern. Jk, I know what song you were referring to. After looking at the track list of course.

Dude I would say ocean breathes salty is banging like crazy

teeth like god’s shoeshine ez’ly my fav mm song. shame there’s not really any good/full live performances of it on RU-vid

Love the rankings modest mouse is my favorite band!!

I'd say you're mostly spot on with your ranking. Although, i might put Strangers on B tier instead of C.

As a long-time modest mouse fan, really interested by your takes here. I personally really liked Strangers to Ourselves, and had similar issues with The Moon and Antarctica and Lonesome Crowded West that you described with Strangers to Ourselves. I love both the former albums to death, but find heart cooks brain, convenient parking, the cold part, and even trucker's atlas a bit dull. (Especially having to skip the endless instrumental loop at the end of it haha). However, those two albums have most of my favorite Modest Mouse songs ever, and I couldn't agree with you more about teeth like god's shoeshine. For me, it's felt as though the newer albums don't have highs quite as high, but the whole tracklist is much more steady and consistent. That being said, I can see what you mean with most of the latter half of Strangers to Ourselves being a bit on the weaker side, though I quite like Wicked Campaign (though be brave is kinda eh for sure.) Overall, there's something about that album's consistent vibe that gave me a pretty unique way to zone out and ride it, leading to the climax of sugar boats, before it starts putting me back down. I don't think my placements would be dramatically different by any means, but I could never places Sad Sappy Sucker over any of the others. It's great in a lot of ways, but I just don't see it without giving it bonus points for their young age. I haven't listened to Golden Casket enough to have strong feelings, but I'm fucking stoked to have it. I enjoyed the video, and I'd be interested in seeing you do an expanded tier list that includes No One's First and You're Next, Building Nothing out of Something, and Everywhere and His nasty tricks (The Fruit that Ate itself as well if you feel it's earned it). After all, Sad Sappy Sucker is listed as a compilation album, and those three have some of their best songs.

Theres a modest mouse song that has violin in the music but its not a track from good news for people who love bad news. I had the song downloaded probably 7 years ago and i cant remember the song ive been searching for it ever since

Different city is one of my favs too its so fun to play on guitar lol

Everywhere and his nasty parlor tricks hands down favorite! But it's a ep. But totally agree!

yo where does the golden casket fall in this list?

I CANT SWIM SO I DOG PADDLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! heavy breathing

Is there a reason he doesn’t do Building Nothing out of Something?

Building nothing out of something is a great album also

Are u a mewithoutYou fan at all? They are one of my favorite bands id love to see a mwY tier list .

I got a pistol in my car

I have the vinyl for sad sappy sucker and lonesome crowded west and I can confidently say sad sappy is the best album E V E R

Eyyyyyy lets go

I think its dope ppl my age fw them as much as I do

Tier list for Pavement if you haven't already done one?

I'll be your dancehall buddy all day!

Oh, wow I agree with soo many of your opinions. Different city is one of my favourites from M&A, love Dance hall. I do love STO as well, first album I've listened to from MM, right after it came out, but yeah always skip Wicked campaing and such. Also, Noone's first! It should be on any list, it's just so good, don't care it's not a studio album

I used to hate Pistol because it was really weird. I mean, I loved the instrumental part, but the vocals and lyrics bothered me, and they still do a little bit. But then I found out it was about a real serial killer, and I fell in love with it.

I feel like. we were dead before the ship even sank doesn't get the love it deserves. Sadly after that album I just dont listen to many MM albums

Idk how u dont like ,bury me with it. Such a good song.

WELL THE EARTH DOESN'T CARE AND WE HARDLY EVEN MATTER

Wait, Wait, wait..Wait wait wait Wait.

Strangers to Ourselves is such an underrated album

Where does The Golden Casket fit in all this? RIP JG

How can you not like Satin In a Coffin?! Good News... definitely belongs in S with other 2 and Strangers To Ourselves is better than We Were Dead... That is Modest Mouse's worst album. It's saving grace is Spitting Venom. That's one of the best MM songs ever!

csh truckers atlas cover when?

Building nothing out of something tho

This is great and all, but you missed a few albums. EP's are still albums. If you disagree, then you're saying that "the fruit that ate itself" doesn't exist in their discography? What about "All Night Diner"? I can't give a like for this video when you just ignore almost half their discography.

;(

We Were Dead is half their best and most emotional songs but the second half is where it sounds like he tried too hard on the vocals front plus the instrumentals are too repetitive to accommodate for the vocals and the songs are too long.
