REVIEWED BY CHRIS STRAUSS
ALT-ROCK
After cracking the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 for the first time in 2004, Modest Mouse scored another coup when Johnny Marr joined the group in 2006. Adapting perfectly to singer Isaac Brock's frantic cadences, the legendary Smiths guitarist quickly makes his presence felt on the radio-friendly first single, "Dashboard." Success hasn't led Brock to shed his acerbic side, as he laments a life that "fits like clothes made out of wasps" on "Parting of the Sensory." This listening experience is a lot more comfortable.
