Really like this! Not "Float On" level, but still very good.

watch it be the doctor of indie himself.
Really surprised at all the negative reception to this from the fanbase, though

On of the best things about this band is the vocals. Rather say Isaac's vocals. This one does have that "Float On" vibe. Anyway, I raped that media player a new one. Great song! Is it o.k. if I call this one; Indie Rock?

Album art... And let's hope shadowscorp makes it 8/8, and then Devin makes it 9/9, and then some other guys make it 14/14.

Lots of their fans criticize We Were Dead and I think it was amazing and free of filler.
This new single is great.
And I was disappointed with Sleater-Kinney's Bury Your Friends as someone who loved them and waited for their return and loves Carrie Brownstein.

I thought there was more hate for Good News than We Were Dead.

Good News still gave them a bunch of new fans and was easily their best selling album, though. It's my least favorite album by them but I still like it.

It's okay, but it's no "Float On" or "Dashboard." Going to take a few listens to warm up to it.

Good song. Not as immediate as "Float On" or "Dashboard" (as Devin mentioned), but still catchy and definitely will be a grower. Congratulations on a nice return for the band.

I think the good thing is, that it's not just another "Dashboard" or "Float ON". They shouldn't get stuck on those sounds just because they are the biggest hits. That's mainstream Pop's way of thinking. Not Alternative Rock. I'm pretty sure Alt radio will take this one on their wings to the top of the charts.

Not to mention, this is a lot more what an expected Modest Mouse song actually sounds like - those two songs show they're talented enough to pull off pop songs but that's a very selective side of the group.

This got 29 plays yesterday. Not very inspiring, 144 today. Should go higher as the week progresses. I'm expecting a high Top 30 debut at the least.

Picks up 28 adds on impact! 26*, but still, that's pretty amazing. In line with Came Back Haunted as far as comeback singles go. EDIT: Strangers to Ourselves will also be a double album, with 15 tracks.
