Head South by Modest Mouse
“Continuing my Modest Mouse Top 25 countdown: 20. Steam Engenius Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBAOw9RTYGM Steam Engenius isn't a song that I connect with lyrically; it has me thinking about Marvin the paranoid android from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy more than anything else. What makes it worthy of a spot in my Top 20? It's the music and the way the lyrics are delivered. Isaac Brock is a raving madman at times during this song, but he also reigns it in and slows 19. Head South If you're confused about this choice, it's what happens after the lyrics are over that makes this song fantastic. The first part of the song is good, but hardly something that warrants a Top 20 spot. The guitar in the last 90 seconds changes everything. I can feel the energy of a young band just going for it, and that's infectious. I can't listen to it without playing every note in my head and smiling while I'm inwardly rocking out. This has to be some of the best raw guitar the band ever produced.”
