"[Coffeepot robot:] Every new Modest Mouse elpee is cause for celebration, even when it's merely a collection of outtakes! I have a theory on why this is so … Modest Mouse continuously pushes the boundaries of their sound! They've brought in Johnny Marr to compliment the bedspring twang of Isaac Brock's guitar, and it's as if Tom Peloso masters a new instrument on a quarterly basis, thus adding to the band's musical depth … Why do you think every Modest Mouse elpee is cause for celebration? [Angular man:] I think every Daughtrey elpee is cause for celebration, myself … Listen robot … as long as there are chicks diggin' on Chris Daughtry's man-ape ballads, the bar is lowered for all male mammals. Great news for slackers like me" ("Stripwax: The World's First and Only Comic Record Review," New Haven Advocate, 8/6/09, p. 28).
