No One's First, and You're Next

"No One's First, and You're Next" is an EP by the American indie rock band Modest Mouse, released on August 4, 2009. The album comprises unreleased tracks and B-sides from the band's previous two studio albums, "Good News for People Who Love Bad News" (2004) and "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank" (2007).

The EP was released through Epic Records and consists of eight tracks. This included singles like "Satellite Skin" and "Autumn Beds" that were released prior to the EP. The album's title comes from a line in the song "People as Places as People," from their previous album.

The richly diverse feel of each track of "No One's First, and You're Next" is often regarded as its biggest strength. From intimate acoustic numbers to exhilarating rock songs, the album manages to cover a broad musical spectrum. Despite the fact that this EP is a collection of tracks that didn't make it onto the band's full-length albums, it is appreciated for taking the listener on a journey through the evolution of Modest Mouse's sound.

Upon its release, the EP was met with positive reviews from critics and fans alike, who praised it for its inventive soundscapes and engaging songwriting.

Modest Mouse is an American indie rock band formed in 1992. The band's name is derived from a passage in the Virginia Woolf story "The Mark on the Wall," which refers to the working class as "modest, mouse-coloured people." The band's creative and distinct sound has earned them a solid and dedicated fanbase over the years.
