Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank

In the last hour I've read a lot of reviews of this album saying that Modest Mouse has become "too palatable", their music "too accessible" and their sound "too generic". I couldn't help but feel the writers were fixed on the songs of earlier albums; hoping to hear more of the same and unwilling to follow the evolution of the band. In truth, this album holds as much creativity and lasting quality as any other and its separation from earlier work is a clear statement of the bands growth. Don't believe the "anti-hype", We Were Dead is another amazing album, the fact that more people like it shouldn't make it bad.
