Modest follow up falls short
Like a horror B-movie, “We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank” is enjoyable in spite of itself. Although long-time fans of Modest Mouse may be put off by the band’s mainstream success and “Float On” fans may find the new album too abrasive, “We Were Dead” proves worthwhile, if one can persevere. Listening to the album is like receiving an Etch-a-Sketch for Christmas after asking for a paint set: Initially baffling, if not disappointing, but a good product in its own right.
