Okay, im confused. which one, wowee zowee or brighten the corners, is
suppossed to be the sell-out album made for the man? I LOVE Brighten the
corners, i think its way more interesting that Terror Twilight,which would be
fine itself if it werent for Nigel. and if we're talking about money-related
production value, well, I don't think keeping the Slanted and Enchanted
aesthetic around would've done the band much good for their lateR songs.
But as for modest mouse:
i think they're gonna have to change as a band drastically to shine through
the gloss epic will surely put over them.But then, i really love the meekness
of interstate eight and dont really see them as a 'corporate machine' suited
band in anyway and i think that they're either gonna fail epIc, or thieR
fans, or both. But whatever.
