Common card · No. 469935

Sad Sappy Sucker (or by the full title on its cover art Sad Sappy Sucker Chokin on a Mouthful of Lost Thoughts) is a previously unreleased studio album by the alternative rock band Modest Mouse. Originally slated to be Modest Mouse's debut album in 1994, Sad Sappy Sucker was shelved for several years until its eventual release in 2001, following the popularity of the band's third album The Moon & Antarctica (2000). Several songs were recorded at Olympia, Washington's Dub Narcotic Studios by Beat Happening frontman Calvin Johnson. The record was officially released by Johnson's label K Records on April 24, 2001, available in both Compact Disc and vinyl LP, and containing nine additional tracks added to the original track listing of 15 songs. Sad Sappy Sucker album is the only Modest Mouse release to feature the short-lived, early four-piece line-up of the band, featuring frontman Isaac Brock, guitarist Dann Gallucci, bass guitarist John Wickhart and drummer Jeremiah Green.
