Modest Mouse 2.0 is a cleaner, craftier machine. Off drugs and less consumed with angst, ship captain Isaac Brock proves himself quite the popster. Where the band's mainstream breakthrough, Good News for People Who Love Bad News, made clear a sea change was coming, We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank ushers it in, marrying pristine hooks to Brock's off-kilter bark in a series of upbeat stomps and radio-ready rockers. So, yeah, Brock's lost God's shoeshine, and the wild pack of family dogs has all but left him, but hey, he's still got the radio (oh, oh oh oh), and maybe that's not such bad news, after all.
