I really like old MM, but I thought good news and We were dead were awesome. I know it's not cool to like those though

I'm with you. I think its shameful how old Modest Mouse fans crapped all over Good News just because they suddenly got popular. That was a pretty stout MM album and has one of my favorite songs by them (Bury Me With It). It wasn't like they made this stab at the mainstream an completely reworked their sound. They are still MM.

Yeah... but Moon and Antarctica is their crowning achievement.
