Not even "The World at Large"? I always think that one has a kind of lazy, contented happiness to it.
Merkava:
"Why should I remain" doesn't seem like a happy lyric to me. That's a song about "what the heck am I doing here? Why should I keep living?"
It leads into Float On pretty well. I like to consider them two parts of one song.
Float On seemed like a good closer to me. It seems odd when you have a burst of optimism at the beginning of a downward spiral, rather than the end.

There are people out there who think Interpol are very talented. There are people out there who think Modest Mouse are very talented. This is the irony.
At least, part of the irony. The other part of the irony is that Modest Mouse are a no-talent indie cliche. Meat Puppets did it so much better, really.
heretic:
modest mouse was the first indie i really got into. i lvoe them with all my heart. if they sell out hardcore with this rerelease and thier kidzBop track, i really won't care, becasue thier music hasn't really changed much. they still do thier own style, and now they can make money off it. the only time a money making scheme from them will bug me is when they change thier music to appeal to the charlatans and make more moeny. other than that i can download what i don't think is fair to pay for, i.e. the second side when i already bought the album.

I think it's a song about wanderlust: The world's at large, why should I stay stuck in this little bit of it? There could be something great out there! sorry everyone, I'm offski.
