Continuing my Modest Mouse Top 25 countdown:
4. Exit Does Not Exist
This song is full of raw excitement. Green's drumming opens the track and is a vital component throughout. The vocals are on the edge and almost unnerving, and everything blends with the desperation of the guitar. I imagine a lot of adrenaline flowing for the band and the audience when this song is played live. It allows us room to breathe around the halfway mark, but then finishes with a flourish. The swirling guitar provides the perfect ending as Green continues to go crazy on the drums.
