No One's First, and You're Next is Modest Mouse's new EP that was released August 4th.
In case you live under a rock and have no clue who Modest Mouse is here's the basic information about them I got from wikipedia:
[quote=Wikipedia]Modest Mouse is an American indie rock band formed in 1993 in the Seattle suburb of Issaquah, Washington by singer/lyricist/guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green, and bassist Eric Judy. Since their 1996 debut album, This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, their lineup has centered around Brock, Green and Judy. Guitarist Johnny Marr (formerly of The Smiths) joined the band in May 2006, along with percussionist Joe Plummer (formerly of the Black Heart Procession) and multi-instrumentalist Tom Peloso, to work on the album We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. Guitarist Jim Fairchild joined the band in February of 2009.
The band has attained significant mainstream success since being signed to Sony's Epic Records in 2001 and have been one of the leading bands in the commercialization of indie rock, beginning with The Moon & Antarctica and Good News for People Who Love Bad News, which have been certified gold and platinum by the RIAA respectively. They have gone on to sell over three million records since. Elements of Modest Mouse's early sound have been likened to or inspired by that of Pixies and numerous other alternative rock and space rock bands. Their name is derived from a passage from the Virginia Woolf story "The Mark on the Wall" which reads, "I wish I could hit upon a pleasant track of thought, a track indirectly reflecting credit upon myself, for those are the pleasantest thoughts, and very frequent even in the minds of modest, mouse-coloured people, who believe genuinely that they dislike to hear their own praises."[/quote]
And here is a few of the songs:

The EP has eight tracks consisting of songs that were recored for their last two albums "Good News For People Who Love Bad News" and "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank" but not released and songs that were redone.
1. Satellite Skin
2. Guilty Cocker Spaniels
3. Autumn Beds
4. Whale Song
5. Perpetual Motion Machine
6. History Sticks to Your Feet
7. King Rat
8. I've Got It All (Most)
I just got done listening to this and all I can say is that is an awesome release and is well worth the money, go to where ever you buy your music and pick yourself up a copy or buy it on itunes or some other internet music store.

What is this, Youtube? Why do people have such a problem with differing opinions?

To the average facepunch user the words, "I don't really like this", seems like "THIS BAND SUCKS AND YOU SUCK FOR LISTENING TO IT"

I don't even hate it, I'm just neutral. It's not as good as their older material.
Yeah I'm more a fan of their older stuff. Both Lonesome Crowded West and Moon and Antarctica are brilliant.
Modest Mouse is the best. I got the three limited edition 7-inch vinyls with all but the last two songs on them. So, I might or might not pick up the CD.

I would if you got the cash.
What ever happened to their singer when he sliced his arms open on stage?
His name's Issac Brock. Anyway I have no idea. He's still playin in the band that's for sure.
I didn't really like it. I didn't really like We Were Dead, or Good news, either. I absolutely love all their stuff up to Moon & Antarctica, though.
