They've always been godly. However, with their latest album, "We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank", they have reached a new level of godliness. They have reached the Cthulhu level of godliness. I would sacrifice newborn children to them if they requested it, and I consider myself lawful good. I would give myself up sexually to all the members if they requested it, and I'm not homosexual. They have the uncanny ability to become incredibly popular, yet at the same time remain completely and totally indie. They are awesomeness incarnate.
Isaac Brock: You just had a son, right?
Me: Yes, my master Isaac.
Isaac Brock: Sacrifice him to the glory of Modest Mouse!
Me: Yes, my master Isaac.
Me: Yes, my master Isaac.
Isaac Brock: Sacrifice him to the glory of Modest Mouse!
Me: Yes, my master Isaac.

Modest Mouse, no matter wat any1 says, did not sell out...dammit it doesnt mean selling out if 1 of ur songs actually gets played on the radio...and their music hasnt changed from their last album at all.

A band that hipsters are too cool to like anymore because now they are done with high school and attend art school and/or moved to a city, and had to dig deeper into the more sophisticated self zone, aquiring tastes that no one will know about for at least the next 2-3 years, when they will have to update themselves once again (hint: when Xiu Xiu, Blonde Redhead and Q and Not U are completely for indie rock poseurs only... just a matter of time)
