Claude says:When Modest Mouse returned in 2007 with their major-label ambitions on full display, you latched onto Missed the Boat hard—seventeen spins of that lurching, anxious earworm that somehow sounds both propulsive and stuck in place. The album's bratty energy and Isaac Brock's neurotic yelp felt built for repeat listening, even if you've drifted back to it sparingly since those early months.
