No Picture The Guitar Guy Lead Player	#1 by The Guitar Guy at Oct 6, 2007 at 4:44 PM EST
	this song has 2 meanings to me. one is death, simple as that. this whole album seems to be based around a death theme. to me it also means that if modest mouse turns out to be some pop band you see on MTV everyday and hear on the radio and not the amazing indie band that they are, then just bury them with it.

No Picture Max Wanna Be	#2 by Max Contreras at Oct 6, 2007 at 11:29 PM EST
	I don't think it's any of that. I think he's telling us(the real indie/MM fans) that just because they're big, mainstream, on the radio, and on MTV that they don't suck. If it comes to the point where they're just another crappy pop band then seriously, bury them with it.

No Picture Will Average	#3 by Will Yost at Oct 7, 2007 at 6:35 AM EST
	What do yall think "I just don't need none of that Mad Max bullshit" means? I'm aware of the mad max story, but not really seeing how it relates. Oh... and I'm glad that modest mouse is on the radio... can't really be that bad for em... and losing a respect for a band just cause more people like them is just as bad as liking a band because everyone else does... they're still good ol' modest mouse

No Picture Tim Professional	#4 by Tim Marchant at Oct 7, 2007 at 10:40 AM EST
	Does anyone know what Isaac Brock is mumbling beneath the second "We are hummingbirds who've lost the plot and we will not move" section? I think it's great whenever he does that, it kills me every time, it sounds like someone trying to hold onto their sanity. But, still, I want to know what he actually says.

No Picture PJVILL Professional Badass	#5 by PJVILL at Oct 7, 2007 at 5:49 PM EST
	big time props to mousefor giving us yet another kick ass album, smigs has a point only issac seems like the road warrior type if you could tell by all the talk about the road that this guy does

No Picture Julian Average	#6 by Julian . at Oct 7, 2007 at 11:45 PM EST
	i love this song.. their new album is so well put together than their last ones..kudos to those guys.

No Picture Justice Wanna Be	#7 by Justice Fish at Oct 8, 2007 at 6:32 PM EST
	i love it when 'life handed us a paycheck we said 'we worked harder than this'' i think its awesome. and ok....who's mad max??? pleese do tell! love this song!

No Picture Patrick Wanna Be	#8 by Patrick Wade at Oct 11, 2007 at 11:51 PM EST
	This song is them basically saying sorry to their fans because, Epic, I think. Made them change their sound to make it easier to sell.

No Picture quinn almann ' Wanna Be	#9 by quinn almann ' jk carson at Oct 13, 2007 at 3:07 PM EST
	One more thing... "We are hummingbirds who've lost the plot and we will not move" is absolutely fantastic as a line. Ask yourself the question... "What are human beings supposed to do?" we have no instruction manual... or plot... and we're afraid to go one way or the other. It's like if someone stuck you in the middle of a soccer game and didn't tell you which goal you were defending and which goal you were attacking. Wouldn't you be afraid to go one way or the other in fear of scoring in the wrong goal? The hummingbirds is how life seems. But that's depressing for me so I just assume the human race is positively evolving... (while we muder the planet, of course). It's not very logical but it's hard to live life feeling like it's pointless. shrugs

No Picture R.I.P Dimebag D Professional	#10 by R.I.P Dimebag Darrell at Oct 13, 2007 at 6:14 PM EST
	This song is sooo awesome. This new cd is solid. Kudos to Modest Mouse
