"I think you can love a song but still be disappointed by the whole album overall."
Sure, I can see that. I just don't see the point of specifically putting down an album that has one of your favorite songs of the year on it. Hell, any album that has even ONE song that I want to hear over and over again would never go on my shitlist; not with all the albums out there that are totally forgettable.
And presuming igStella is/was a big Modest Mouse fan, picking Dashboard as her favorite song just seems... odd. It's easily the poppiest and least typically Modest Mouse song on the disc, clearly made to be a single, like Float On off GNFPWLBN. March Into The Sea, Fire It Up, Florida, Missed The Boat, We've Got Everything and especially Invisible are all so much better; full of angst and alienation, i.e. classic Modest Mouse. (Mind you, I really like Dashboard too!)
