Free Music Review: Why are some many audiophiles so condecending?
Hit: 5 Stars
Why does everyone here say you have to love this band before you understand this album?
I Love this album.
I am a die hard fan of this band, but this was the second CD i got, not the last puzzle piece in my collection. This CD pulled me into the awesome oddity that is Modest Mouse. So i say you don't need to know a whole lot about music or have every other song this band did to like this CD, it's just really good music.
Granted this is a different flavor compared to a lot that is out there, but it is great.
Sad Sappy Sucker Poster
K Records proudly unveils an important document detailing the early days of Modest Mouse. Recorded in 1994, 'Sad Sappy Sucker' is the lost Modest Mouse album, originally intended oto be the band's debut full length. 'Sad Sappy Sucker' has 24 tracks and are the earliset recordings from Modern Mouse. 2001 release. 23 tracks!After stepping up to the major-label plate with The Moon and Antarctica, Modest Mouse reach back to their roots with Sad Sappy Sucker. Sucker is actually the band's first recording, released in 2001 but created back in 1994. It was shelved in favor of Lonesome Crowded West as their debut, but Sucker is still a fine piece of the Modest Mouse lineage.
Although parts of Sucker are experimental compared to the band's current polish, this isn't some rarity to be enjoyed only by collectors. Breezy melodies build into jagged choruses as singer Isaac Brock shows he can be both tender and playfully aggressive. Most of the songs clock in between two and three minutes, leaving room for numerous gems in the course of the 24-track album. While 12 of the songs come from a recording session with K Records' Calvin Johnson, a chunk of Sucker material comes from Brock's "Dial-a-Song" phase, during which callers heard new songs by dialing into his answering machine. These experiments range from lo-fi combos of distorted instruments and whiny vocals to complete songs, like the bluesy rock jam on "Secret Agent X-9." The Dial-a-Songs--and a message left by Murder City Devils front man Spencer Moody ("Call to Dial-a-Song")--are both comic relief and proof that Modest Mouse didn't gain their indie-rock cult status by accident. The talent's been there from the beginning. --Jennifer Maerz
