Then listen to them again and wonder why you ever stopped listening to them?
Maybe it's just because you found other music that peaked your interest. It happens. You fall in love with a band, but no matter what you stop listening to certain bands for a while, but there's always a handful of bands you fall in love with over and over again.
You scan through your Itunes for something to "new" to listen to, and never notice the band you really want to hear is there all along.
What I'm trying to say is I just remembered how awesome Modest Mouse is and I can't wait for them to put out their new album. It's been way too long and though their sound has evolved and transformed over the years I can honestly say I have enjoyed album immensely.
