What was Modest Mouse’s breakthrough album?

American rock band Modest Mouse’s commercial breakthrough was Good News for People Who Love Bad News (2004), which sold more than one million copies and was nominated for a Grammy Award for best alternative music album. It adopted more concise song structures and radio-friendly production but was also the group’s most eclectic record to date, featuring accents of psychedelia, jazz, and dance music. It also spawned the backhandedly optimistic hit “Float On.”
