Eh they are just older and have families now, they aren't wasted all the time making music as angry kids. They just have matured and their sound has changed. Its not bad now its just not what we remember. You can't be a drunk angry teenager your whole life.
Agreed (on both counts). I miss Modest Mouse making music that I enjoy, but I can't begrudge the band its success. They labored for many years in relative obscurity before breaking into a new echelon of popularity. They changed their sound considerably, but I wouldn't consider it selling out per se; it just appeals to a different and broader fan base, at the relatively minor cost of jettisoning a portion of their existing fan base.
