Excellent Album!!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2021

Huge MM fan so take this review with a grain of salt.

I love this album. There is something here for every type of MM fan, and a good variety for newcomers too. Because of the variety, I think everyone would find at least one song to enjoy here.

The only track I usually skip when listening is "Lace your Shoes". Great song in it's own right though; and a favorite song for many other fans. This album is so solid that I believe each song is a favorite to someone; I've bounced back and forth myself on which is the best (settled on Wooden Soldiers for now). My favorite tracks are We're Lucky, Wooden Soldiers, The Sun Hasn't Left, NFaSotF and Japanese Trees.

I give the album 9/10.

Not perfect but darn good; holds it's own in the sea of Modest Mouse discography.

In this album Brock brings some new ideas to his wonderfully idiosyncratic approach to music. The album is calmer (including a song for his young kids that is as close to a lullaby as Brock will ever get), with a more traditional rock-n-roll use of instruments. Lyrics are clever, as they always are. After my first listen of the CD, my reaction was lukewarm - it is a different sound. But a couple weeks have passed, and I've listened to the CD a few times, and now I crave its music. I find that the album engages mind and soul as well as the many MM CDs that came before it, it just does it in a different way, one that does not shout in your face, but sneaks up on you.

Modest mouse releases another great album.

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2021

This is a great release from modest mouse. Every tries to judge a bands growth negatively. Ultimately this release is very similar with previous modest mouse albums they mash multiple genres. I wish the album was a tad longer. Very coherent release that can easily be listened to time and time again. Isaac Brock shows he can still sing and write. The band shows they can jam. Cannot wait to see this live. I ordered the package with the shirt. The shirt is great and very high quality!

Isaac why are you overproducing?

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

It’s an okay album. It has some great songs but just like any band through time they get over produced and steer away from their original works that made them so great and virgin. Look Isaacs lyrics and bands are great, however that raw MM sound isn’t always there. Go back to lonesome crowded west or form the moon to anartica , look how raw and natural those sounds were. Look at ugly Casanova. All those albums were great and natural sounding. Who cares about big names in the band and producers over the years who have done everything. You guys steal away from the inspiration of the heart that Isaac first brought us. For some reason bands tend to go in this direction eventually. Look at Greta Van Fleet. Already over produced. “Sad but true!”. Love ya Isaac

The best album ever!!!

I feel most songs are written for previous albums. What amazes me is they all should have been on those albums. The majority of the songs seem to be from "We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank" and "Satellite Skin", both great albums.

At first I didn’t think it was quite as good as the last album… but now I think it almost is ;)
Great songs, and thanks Amazon for the variant cover! Too bad it’s not colored vinyl which I was hoping

If you thought the release of 'Ice Cream Party' marked the beginning of the end for MM get over it! Sure, we can assume Isaac has been tripping of stuff; but he hasn't fried his brain just yet. This album is a master piece of rhythmic prose.

Super juicy album with sweet riffs and savory beats. Isaac Brock brings all of the previous genius metaphors laid against that distinct modest sound. Do yourself a favor and buy this album for yourself and your grandma!

Not their best, but if you're a Modest Mouse fan you'll like it. If not you won't. It's that simple. Now if you like writing long reviews there's a lot to write about. In the end of your long review you will reach the same conclusion. "Not their best, but if you're a Modest Mouse fan you'll like it. If not you won't. It's that simple."

MODEST MOUSE - THE GOLDEN CASKET

Reviewed in Italy on June 28, 2021

Verified Purchase

Molto buono questo album del gruppo statunitense di rock alternativo. Un rock che oltre ad essere alternativo è sicuramente molto originale. I 12 brani non sono mai scontati e sono ben realizzati anche sotto l'aspetto tecnico, con buone sonorità. Inoltre il disco è piuttosto lungo, circa 50 minuti e si ascolta tutto di un fiato.
Per chi vuole ascoltare qualcosa di nuovo, fuori dalle righe, questo disco può sicuramente rispondere alle aspettative.

Plattenbesprechungen

Unverwechselbar Modest Mouse.

Reviewed in Germany on June 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

Zumindest kann man sicherlich nicht behaupten, dass die US-amerikanische Band Modest Mouse ihre Alben allzu überstürzt veröffentlichen würde. Vergingen zwischen dem Erscheinen von „We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank“ und „Strangers To Ourselves“ noch acht Jahre, so dauerte es nun immerhin „nur“ noch sechs Jahre, bis das siebte offizielle Album der Band mit dem Titel „The Golden Casket“ auf dem Plattenlabel Epic Records veröffentlicht wurde.

Kaum zu glauben, doch im nächsten Jahr feiern Modest Mouse bereits ihren 30. Band-Geburtstag. Mit dem eher rauen Independent Rock ihres Debuts „This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About“ aus dem Jahr 1996 hat die Musik von Modest Mouse inzwischen kaum mehr etwas gemein. Sehr viel eher hört man auf „The Golden Casket“ Parallelen zu jener Musik, die auf den Alben „Good News For People Who Love Bad News“ aus dem Jahr 2004 und dem bereits erwähnten „We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank“ aus dem Jahr 2007 zu hören war.

Es sind einmal mehr diese eingängigen Melodien in Verbindung zu dem unverwechselbaren und leicht schrägen Gesang des Isaac Brock, die die Musik von Modest Mouse bestimmen und dominieren und dadurch eben auch insgesamt unverwechselbar werden lassen. Das Zuhören macht Spaß, die Melodien gehen zum Teil bereits beim ersten Mal des Hörens ins Ohr, mit jedem weiteren Durchlauf klingen sie noch intensiver und gelungener. Die Grundstimmung auf „The Golden Casket“ ist eine positive, optimistische. Zwar macht sich Isaac Brock mit seinen Texten immer noch viele Gedanken über diese Welt, er singt über Drogen und über seine Sorge bezüglich des rasanten technologischen Fortschritts in unserer Welt. Gleichzeitig freut er sich jedoch auch auf die Zukunft und die gemeinsame Zeit mit seinen inzwischen geborenen Kindern. So dringt das Zaudernde, das Ängstliche lediglich in die Texte auf „The Golden Casket“ ein, die Musik selbst scheint davon weniger beeinflusst zu sein, denn diese klingt deutlich optimistischer als manch dazugehörender Text.

Und was befindet sich nun als Höhepunkt in diesem goldenen Sarg, was „The Golden Casket“ auf Deutsch bedeutet? Nun, da haben es mir vor allen Dingen die beiden Titel „Wooden Soldiers“ und „Transmitting Receiving“ angetan. Reine Geschmackssache, sicherlich, doch bei diesen beiden Liedern kommen für mich die Zutaten der Musik von Modest Mouse so wunderbar zutage. Musik die anders klingt, leicht verschroben und irgendwie besonders.

Fazit: Mit „The Golden Casket“ ist Modest Mouse einmal mehr ein überzeugendes Album gelungen. Dieses wächst mit jedem weiteren Anhören und enthält, die für diese Band so typischen Zutaten. Leicht schräger Gesang und in Verbindung zu eingängigen und trotzdem zum Teil skurrilen Melodien einen unverwechselbaren Klang. Modest Mouse Fans dürfte das Gehörte gefallen und all denjenigen, die auch mal abseits der Radiodauerschleifen Musik hören ebenso.

ジャケットのように、音楽もカラフル

Reviewed in Japan on July 4, 2021

ワシントン州出身で現在はオレゴン州ポートランドを拠点に活動するインディ・ロック・バンドのモデスト・マウス、6年ぶり7作目の新譜。僕は彼らを全く知らず、試聴したら2のVoがThe Fixxのサイ・カーニンそっくりだったので、ほぼ衝動買い。おまけに、アルバムで聴いても絶対イギリスのバンドと思っていたが、アメリカ人と知ってびっくり。プロデューサーが、アイルランド人であるジャックナイフ・リーとアメリカ人のデイヴ・サーディ。どちらもベテランで、扱うジャンルも広い。“音楽のごった煮”感のある本作、まとめあげたのは彼らの貢献も大きいと思う。

“クセが強い”１に続き、キャッチーな２。いいなあ、やっぱり。MV観ると、結構ダークな世界観でインパクト大。AメロでのVoの表現力に驚く４は、サビがユニゾンコーラスのみで後ろに引く変わった作りだが、とてもエネルギッシュ。タイトル通りのオモチャ感のある５もVoの表現力が高い。ゆったりから徐々にスケールアップする８、ストリングスが良い。強いビートでポップな9のVoはデヴィット・ボウイを連想する。妙な歌詞と思いビートの10は不思議な曲。11のタイトルの意味は、歌詞から思うに“盆栽”だな。12はポップさとハードが交錯する。

どの楽曲も、曲の中で色々な顔を見せるので、イメージがとらえどころのない印象。意図する狙いのわりに、音楽そのものは深刻にならず、明るい。言葉で説明するのが難しいアルバムに、久しぶりに出会った。“おもしろいから、まあ聴いてみて”というのが結論。インナースリーヴには幾何学的に歌詞がレイアウトされ、レインボー色とあわせて美しい。7月30日から全米約50か所をツアー。NYやシカゴなどの大都市ではSols Outみたい。ライヴに強いバンドらしいから、来年あたり来日してほしいものです。
