MODEST MOUSE  

Review of the newest Modest Mouse album, "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank."

Modest Mouse is a band that's been around for a long time and picking 10 best songs is a tough chore, but these are some ideas to give you an appreciation of one of the best bands in music today.

Modest Mouse has the first number 1 album on The Billboard 200 of its career after "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank" debuted on top of the chart.

Modest Mouse has been making dynamic, artistic rock music for many years, and for many years I have been a loyal fan. They just released a new album entitled We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. I was definitely excited when I finally picked up a copy of the new album.

I endeavor to narrow down all of my favorite Modest Mouse songs into a neat little package of ten. This list is by no means exhaustive, as the band is prolific.

Modern rock icon Johnny Marr of Smith's fame has officially replaced Modest Mouse guitarist Dann Gallucci.
