I of my favorite band's albums, EP'due south, compilations & random shit all ranked worst to best.

15		15.Modest Mouse Blue Cadet-3, Do You Connect? (1994) [EP] 2/5 They were even so figuring out the direction they wanted to go with this, null remarkable. Best Vocal: It Ever Rains On A Picnic Worst Songs: Woodgrain, 'v,4,3,two,1...Lisp Off'
ii/5 They were still figuring out the direction they wanted to go with this, nothing remarkable. Best Song: It Always Rains On A Picnic Worst Songs: Woodgrain, 'v,4,3,2,i...Lisp Off'
14		14.Modest Mouse Sad Sappy Sucker (2001) two.5/v Shelved first album, and rightfully and then because in that location's nothing that interesting aside from a few riffs here and there. Good executive decision by whoever made information technology; nearly likely the ring. All-time Song: Every Penny Fed Car Worst Songs: All the punch-up crap
two.v/5 Shelved first album, and rightfully so because there's nada that interesting bated from a few riffs here and in that location. Expert executive decision by whoever made it; most probable the ring. Best Song: Every Penny Fed Automobile Worst Songs: All the dial-upwardly crap
13		13.Modest Mouse The Fruit That Ate Itself (1997) [EP] 2.5/5 The band even said they were pretty disappointed with this release and I can see why. Nearly all of these songs are either pointless filler or songs that weren't quite skilful enough for any studio albums. 'Summer' is a swell vocal about... well, summer; so there ya become. All-time Song: Summer Worst Songs: Untitled 1, ii & 3 (I Hate POINTLESS FILLER!)
2.five/5 The band fifty-fifty said they were pretty disappointed with this release and I tin see why. Almost all of these songs are either pointless filler or songs that weren't quite good plenty for any studio albums. 'Summertime' is a great song well-nigh... well, summer; so at that place ya go. Best Song: Summer Worst Songs: Untitled 1, 2 & 3 (I Detest POINTLESS FILLER!)
12		12.Minor Mouse Baron von Bullshit Rides Again (2004) 2.5/five Basically a agglomeration of homemade quality recordings of some of their all-time work. The about memorable function of the whole matter is the 'Gratis Bird' rant at the finish of Paper Thin Walls. Other than that, nothin' really stands out. All-time Songs: Newspaper Thin Walls, Bankrupt On Selling Worst Song: Doin' the Cockroach
2.5/5 Basically a bunch of bootleg quality recordings of some of their best work. The most memorable office of the whole thing is the 'Free Bird' rant at the cease of Paper Sparse Walls. Other than that, nothin' really stands out. Best Songs: Paper Sparse Walls, Bankrupt On Selling Worst Song: Doin' the Cockroach
11		11.Pocket-sized Mouse Strangers to Ourselves (2015) 3/5 An anthology that follows in the same path of crappily produced songs that sound substantially better live, particularly 'Sugar Boats' and 'The Best Room.' 'The Basis Walks, With Time In A Box' saved this album from existence a total disappointment for me. Best Songs: Lampshades On Burn, 'The Ground Walks, With Time In A Box,' Saccharide Boats Worst Songs: Of Course Nosotros Know, Shit In Your Cutting
3/5 An album that follows in the same path of crappily produced songs that audio substantially better alive, especially 'Sugar Boats' and 'The Best Room.' 'The Ground Walks, With Time In A Box' saved this album from being a full thwarting for me. Best Songs: Lampshades On Burn down, 'The Footing Walks, With Fourth dimension In A Box,' Sugar Boats Worst Songs: Of Course Nosotros Know, Shit In Your Cut
ten		10.Modest Mouse Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks (2001) [EP] 3/5 I never got into this one as much as other people. Although there are some pretty decent tracks on hither, none of them really elevate me as much as annihilation on their previous studio albums. Props to them for experimenting a drastically different sound tho. Best Songs: Here It Comes, I Came As A Rat (Long Walk Off A Brusque Dock) Worst Song: The Air
3/v I never got into this one as much as other people. Although at that place are some pretty decent tracks on here, none of them really elevate me equally much every bit anything on their previous studio albums. Props to them for experimenting a drastically different audio tho. Best Songs: Here Information technology Comes, I Came Every bit A Rat (Long Walk Off A Short Dock) Worst Song: The Air
9		ix.Minor Mouse No I's Showtime, and You're Next (2009) [EP] three/5 I had just one question for the band in 2009: why in the fuck was 'Male monarch Rat' not put on We Were Expressionless...? I mean seriously, it's past far the all-time song off this EP, it beats annihilation off of We Were Dead for me... and it'south fifty-fifty better live. Peradventure some executive scum at Epic Records didn't permit them to put information technology on the album, i don't fuckin' know. Look, maybe that'southward why they randomly out of nowhere released it every bit a standalone unmarried! Ahhhh, at present I get it! Don't sign to major labels kids, especially if, you know, desire to actually have control over your music output. What yous read above is me writing this at approx. 3:56 A.M. on a work night because I take nothing better to do with my life. It's also nigh all bullshit. I know Isaac came out and said information technology didn't brand the album for reasons and stuff. It's still a fucking not bad track and should've been on the album dammit. OK, my encephalon is now melting out of my ear and I need sleeps so goodnight! All-time Songs: Male monarch Rat, Autumn Beds Worst Vocal: Perpetual Motion Machine
3/5 I had only one question for the ring in 2009: why in the fuck was 'King Rat' not put on We Were Dead...? I hateful seriously, it'southward past far the all-time song off this EP, it beats anything off of Nosotros Were Dead for me... and it'due south even meliorate live. Maybe some executive scum at Epic Records didn't allow them to put it on the anthology, i don't fuckin' know. Expect, maybe that'south why they randomly out of nowhere released it as a standalone single! Ahhhh, now I get information technology! Don't sign to major labels kids, especially if, you know, want to really take command over your music output. What you read to a higher place is me writing this at approx. iii:56 A.M. on a piece of work night considering I accept nothing better to exercise with my life. It'south as well almost all bullshit. I know Isaac came out and said it didn't make the album for reasons and stuff. It's withal a fucking bang-up rail and should've been on the anthology dammit. OK, my brain is now melting out of my ear and I need sleeps so goodnight! Best Songs: King Rat, Autumn Beds Worst Song: Perpetual Motility Machine

8		8.Modest Mouse Nosotros Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank (2007) iii.25/5 On relisten, information technology'south better than I remember, but the production boggs this downwards too much. Smashing tracks similar "Fly Trapped In A Jar" and "Parting of the Sensory" suffer from this, all of that extra percussion is about completely drowned out. The bad production seems to be a continuing tendency because both post-obit records suffer from the aforementioned thing. Best Songs: March Into the Sea, Spitting Venom, Little Motel Worst Vocal: Fire It Up
3.25/5 On relisten, it's amend than I remember, but the production boggs this downwardly too much. Great tracks like "Fly Trapped In A Jar" and "Departing of the Sensory" endure from this, all of that extra percussion is almost completely drowned out. The bad production seems to be a continuing tendency because both following records endure from the same thing. All-time Songs: March Into the Ocean, Spitting Venom, Picayune Motel Worst Song: Fire It Up
vii		7.Minor Mouse Night on the Lord's day (2000) [EP] 3.25/v This gets a i-upwards over "Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks" considering it takes the all-time four songs from that, and puts them on here. Boom: slightly more enjoyable EP. Best Song: I Came As A Rat (Long Walk Off A Curt Dock) - I definitely prefer the "Moon and Antarctica" version though xP Worst Song: Willful Suspension Of Disbelief - (It Ain't that bad though)
three.25/5 This gets a ane-up over "Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks" considering it takes the all-time iv songs from that, and puts them on hither. Smash: slightly more than enjoyable EP. All-time Song: I Came As A Rat (Long Walk Off A Short Dock) - I definitely prefer the "Moon and Antarctica" version though xP Worst Song: Willful Suspension Of Disbelief - (It Ain't that bad though)
vi		vi.Modest Mouse Interstate viii (1996) [EP] 3.5/5 The demo/alive tracks or any are nothing special, and almost all of which were re-recorded and/or made ameliorate in the coming years, so don't bother with the 2nd half of this. The first half however, disregarding "Edifice Nothing Out Of Something" which didn't come out for another iv years, has some truly fantastic tracks. 'Edit The Lamentable Parts' is 1 of MoMo'southward all-time and about underrated tracks and I'm honestly shocked information technology never fabricated it onto a bigger release (Bonus track on the vinyl merely version of TIALDFSWNTTA? come on, it deserves better than that). Just anyways, truly moving song and I strongly recommend watching the fan-made music video with clips from the documentary "The Bridge" (link below). It'll get out you, or it should exit you, speechless for a couple minutes as it did me. WATCH THIS: https://www.youtube.com/spotter?v=49Gz0Jfp-jI&spfreload=10 Best Songs: Edit The Sorry Parts, Interstate 8, Tundra/Desert Worst Song: Beach Side Property [demo]
iii.5/v The demo/alive tracks or whatsoever are nothing special, and most all of which were re-recorded and/or fabricated better in the coming years, so don't bother with the 2d half of this. The first half however, disregarding "Building Nothing Out Of Something" which didn't come out for another 4 years, has some truly fantastic tracks. 'Edit The Sad Parts' is one of MoMo's all-time and most underrated tracks and I'm honestly shocked it never made information technology onto a bigger release (Bonus track on the vinyl only version of TIALDFSWNTTA? come on, it deserves better than that). Just anyways, truly moving song and I strongly recommend watching the fan-made music video with clips from the documentary "The Bridge" (link beneath).

5		5.Modest Mouse This Is a Long Drive for Someone With Zip to Think About (1996) iii.75/5 Even though this anthology could've been fifteen minutes shorter, it's nonetheless a pretty damn solid debut. Suggesting from the title, this is mainly for listening to on (whaddaya know it?) long drives with nothing to think about, and honestly information technology really is more enjoyable that way. And then at that place ya get, listen to this for an hour and xv minutes when you're driving somewhere. Best Songs: Breakthrough, Head South, Tundra/Desert, Dramamine Worst Vocal: Canis familiaris Paddle
iii.75/5 Even though this anthology could've been 15 minutes shorter, it'due south even so a pretty damn solid debut. Suggesting from the title, this is mainly for listening to on (whaddaya know it?) long drives with nada to recollect about, and honestly it really is more enjoyable that way.

four		four.Modest Mouse Edifice Goose egg Out of Something (2000) [Compilation] 4/5 Slap-up collection of non-anthology singles and junk, especially honey the soothing ambience and progression of 'Medication.' One of their more than underrated songs for sure.

3		3.Pocket-size Mouse Good News for People Who Love Bad News (2004) four/5 Some of their best and honest tracks on here. "The World At Big" and "Float On" deserve all the hype and acclamation they get. "The Good Times Are Killing Me" has always been one my absolute favorite songs of all time. I just love how sincere and hopeful Isaac sounds on that rails. If I had to draw the word 'bloodshot' with a song, that'southward i that immediately comes to listen. Become rid of the meh interludes and tweak a couple songs and this has the potential to be as bully as 'The Moon & Antarctica,' but it is what it is.

four/5 Some of their best and honest tracks on here. "The Earth At Large" and "Float On" deserve all the hype and acclaim they get. "The Good Times Are Killing Me" has always been i my absolute favorite songs of all fourth dimension. I just dearest how sincere and hopeful Isaac sounds on that runway. If I had to depict the give-and-take 'bittersweet' with a song, that's one that immediately comes to mind. Get rid of the meh interludes and tweak a couple songs and this has the potential to exist every bit slap-up as 'The Moon & Antarctica,' but it is what it is.

MoMo really reached their peak on this anthology musically and sonically and oasis't made an anthology nearly equally skilful since. Best Songs: 3rd Planet, Gravity Rides Everything, Nighttime Center Of The Universe, Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes, Wild Packs Of Family Dogs Worst Song (Even though at that place isn't a bad song on this): Life Like Weeds
iv.5/5 Fantastic all around, Isaac's lyrics are as captivating as ever, "The universe is shaped exactly like the Earth, if y'all go directly long enough, y'all'll end upwards where yous were."

ane		ane.Pocket-sized Mouse The Lonesome Crowded W (1997) v/v One of the all-time albums ever, honestly. Non one song fails to captivate on here, and 'Trailer Trash' has that rare "perfect" moment in a song with that guitar solo at the 4:07 mark. A goddamn classic, anyone who tells you otherwise is just incorrect... and stupid... and dumb... and wrong. Best Songs: Teeth Like God'due south Shoeshine, Doin' The Cockroach, Cowboy Dan, Trailer Trash, Shit Luck, Broke On Selling Worst Song (If I Had To Selection One): Out Of Gas
