I wrote to the guy who wrote the Spin review, asking why he would
review an album by a band that he admits to "not getting", and here
is his response:

Hi George,
Thanks for your note, I just wanted to clear up
something, I don't 'get'
Modest Mouse's popularity. I 'get' their music
just fine, and liked it in
1996. Since then I think they've written the
same song a hundred times over,
and I don't think Brock has really changed his
perspective much.I don't find
them any more interesting or relevant than
almost any of the other bands in
the Northwest scene from which they've emerged.
Yet they've gotten huge. I
prefer Love as Laughter or old Lync records. I
just like 'em more.
