I definitely (if I actually had to choose) like Long Drive better.. not that I
don't love both albums, but Long Drive just seems to tap in the best to what
modest mouse really is to me (well, so does Interstate 8). Maybe it's because
I've been listeing since Long Drive so that's the first stuff I got to love MM
by.. or maybe it's just because Long Drive and Interstate 8 hold so many
memories for me. I also disagree that on Long Drive you listen to the whole
thing without skipping. I think it's the jarring moments on the album that
make the quieter moments so amazing. ryan
