Hopefully this pulls a "Coming Of Age" or "I Bet My Life" and stalls out. I really don't see the appeal in this song, it kinda annoys me.

I'm pretty neutral on it. The vocalist is kind of grating and there's not much musically interesting going on. It's not outright offensive but it's nothing I'm too excited about.

"The Best Room" is now available as an instant grat. I like this too. I've liked all three so far, so I might give this album a try.

good song...yeah i can see how some hate Isaac's voice, but this is solid indie-crossover music...it deserves to be in the top 5...it's time for a trio of songs that have out-stayed their welcome to move out of the way & head to recurrent, so this song can rise up

Two of the best albums I've ever listened to were: "The Moon & Antarctica" and "The Lonesome Crowded West". The raw emotion from Issac's gritty voice and lyrics are amazing, and this album, seems to reflect what they used to be rather well. So glad that they're back. It has been too long.

That Milky Chance song has gone sour. I wouldn't mind Modest Mouse making a hefty 5 point leap by Sunday

Without a doubt this will at least peak at #2, but I don't know if it has the steam to pass "Shut Up and Dance", which I expect to take the top for a few more weeks (maybe 4 in total).

I really hope Shut Up + Dance has enough in it to stop this song from advancing any further.

I'd also like to see this hit the top too. It's nice to see that Alternative is once again letting songs from older artists get far.

There have been bigger gaps in that regard (Jane's Addiction comes to mind) but this would be one of the biggest for sure.

I'm certainly not complaining, but I'm honestly surprised this is doing so well. As we have discussed ad nauseum, older artists have seen mixed results on the format. Modest Mouse in particular have been away for a long time, and their last album somewhat underperformed compared to Good News. And this song doesn't strike me as all that radio-friendly - it took a couple listens to really grow on me. I remember thinking at first that the best the band could hope for was a peak around #9 or #10, and that it could possibly even miss top 10. But I'm glad to be proven wrong.

Difference between artists like Chevelle, Linkin Park and Bush failing and this succeeding is that this is probably the best possible climate in a while for Modest Mouse to release a comeback lead single. Their sound has always favored the current iteration of Alternative as opposed to the era their major success was in, which was something I always thought was interesting.

This song is about 10x more radio friendly than those three you mentioned. That's why its also charting well in the triple A charts.

Such an amazing song. Has really grown on me. I love Modest Mouse, they are by far the most unique sounding band in modern music. I've always thought of them as a modern day Pixies. They will be (or are already) legends.
