I'd personally say start with Decoration Day. The first album I got by them was The Dirty South, and I really didn't dig it initially. I was turned off by the vocals, and it just didn't seem all that appealing. It grew on me enough to make me check out Decoration Day, which I immediately loved, and then when I listened to The Dirty South again, it clicked for me. To me, Decoration Day is a little more straightforward and heartfelt, whereas The Dirty South is generally darker and quirkier. Either one is a pretty good starting point though.
Gotta say that Modest Mouse is the most disappointing live band I've seen. Not the worst, just most disappointing. I saw them a few years ago. Show was long but boring. The whole band seemed completely uninterested, had no energy, and when Isaac addressed the crowd, he just mumbled something unintelligible into the microphone. It was a sold out show, yet it was pretty much the epitome of a band going through the motions. I've never really been able to enjoy them as much since then.
