I don't care about the Tool anniversary; I am not a fan of that group. Such exahuasting music to listen to, in the worst sense of the word.

I like that Modest Mouse record. I don't believe it is as average as people claim. I don't really have a preference between it and The Moon and Antarctica, tbh...Both are below The Lonesome Crowded West, which is my favorite from MM.

Both are bands that have grown on me immensely in the past few months and will be climbing my charts soon, been meaning to relisten to Undertow.

I don't see what is so or bad about Tool. I think as musicians they are pretty amazing. They got pretty boring at about the early part of the last decade, but they were pretty cool back in the day.

Funny story here. there's this kid at my school who was singing "Bukowski" thinking I didn't know it. The reason being is because I'm pretty infamous for singing badly in my school and so he was hoping to sing a song I didn't know so i wouldn't sing. I guess he didn't know Modest Mouse was my favorite band 😁

I only skip songs off records that I'm vary familiar with, and that's not saying I skip it every time.

I also agree with Happymeals point

I don't know. Dance Hall just reminds how energetic Modest Mouse can be.

I agree completely. With Bury Me With It they should have emphasized the "Good News" section more.

Dance Hall and Devil's Workday are just okay, Bury Me With It And The View could be better, the short tracks are nice bits of fun. The rest of Good News is perfect. World At Large - Float On - Ocean Breathes Salty is on of the best three song stretches on any album. Bukowski and Satin In A Coffin keep the middle part of the album up to par, and the last 4 songs are all amazing. Fucking great record, just below Moon And Antarctica and Lonesome Crowded.

I lurve GNFPWLBN. I'd rank it just below The Lonesome Crowded West. The 1, 2 hit of The World At Large and Float On is fantastic. And I'm always up for Blame It On The Tetons.

My thoughts on Tool have been expressed enough.

I went through a similar phase. First I adored them, then I loathed them, now I just think fair to avg thoughts of them.

I agree it's not the well rounded masterpiece that M&A is, but yeah was so good at some points. And I remember really loving that album when it came out when I was like 15. Really good record.

And tool was pretty cool in their prime. Undertow I think is their best, I like it more than Aenema. "Sober" is, I feel, one of the most memorable rock songs of the 90s and when I was growing up.

A bit of filler on good news, but just an album full of catchy songs.

"Dance Hall" is awesome.
