My favorite new track from the new Modest Mouse album, We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. It's called 'Missed the Boat' (what is it with Isaac and the water? though it should be noted that the cover graphic is a hot-air balloon.)
Featuring permanent member Johnny Marr on guitar and a guest appearance by James Mercer of the Shins, I think it's the poppiest number on the disc.
It's on repeat now, but not in the way that Float On was. My friends and co-workers are probably very thankful for that.

The reviews, according to Metacritic.com, have been 'Generally favorable'.
Modest Mouse: We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank (2007): Reviews: "'We Were Dead,' the Isaac Brock-led band's follow-up to its breakthrough 2004 hit 'Good News for People Who Love Bad News,' is their first release to feature their newest member, former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr. The Shins' James Mercer guests on three tracks."
