Most people in their young 20s can’t nail the malaise, prayers, frustrations, and joys of life. The record opens with the brilliant lines, “I’m the same/ As I was when I was six years old/ And oh my god I feel so damn old/ But do I really feel anything?” Brock may look like a gas station employee but he rambles off quips like, “The universe works on a math equation that never really ever even ever is in it and/ Infinity spirals out creation.” One doesn’t normally expect metaphysics from a lumberjack rock band. And this line comes from the same song.

Brian DiCrescenzo, from his review of Modest Mouse’s “Building Nothing Out of Something” talking about “Never Ending Math Equation”.
Yeah, that nails it pretty well. Happy Monday!
