Spencer's best solo record. 10 years later and it's still nigh perfect.
Really, really wanted to like it. It feels boring, and quite frankly, tedious. Mac can certainly do better.
Wow, totally outdid my expectations. A definite happier tone than previous albums and I think that's a great change of pace. Seriously worth checking out.
A must-listen for any Doug fan. It's concise, it's fun, it's lighthearted. I love it.
Jesse Gander proves his worth! The keys add a fresh new element to the raw pop punk of the original lineup. I was skeptical of the addition at first, but after listening to what they could do together, I fucking love it!
Best tracks: Winnipeg, Gleamer, Tyranny
Wow, quite good! I've increased my rating after 10+ listens. Might be my favorite of Nick's work.
Wow, shocked to see all the hate on here. I really dig it. I've listened to it 10+ times now and I keep wanting to come back to it!

"@Charlise Have you listened to it since? I've been listening to it (nearly) everyday since it's release, and it's just getting better and better. I watched and read a lot of interviews on the album, so perhaps knowing the context behind the songs helps me appreciate it more (ex. Lace Your Shoes being about the love for this kids, Sun Hasn't Left is about the Pacific Northwest burning from all the forest fires, Transmitting about his borderline schizophrenia)."
On CLJesse's review of Modest Mouse - The Golden Casket
"As a MM fan, I'm sorry to hear you don't like it. I think it truly is their best LP since Moon (No Ones First being excellent). I'll never understand people who tell their supposed favorite bands to "throw in the towel." I'd hate to see Isaac stop creating and playing music. Even if you don't like or love most of what he makes, surely there is something there that gets your attention, and if there isn't, then maybe you aren't as big as a fan as you think."
