Top 20 Albums of 2009: #15 Mew – No More Stories…
Well you see, the album isn’t actually called No More Stories. The full title of the album is No More Stories Are Told Today, I’m Sorry They’ve Washed Away. No More Stories, The World Is Grey. I’m Tired, Let’s Wash Away. Pretty bleak sounding title if you ask me. Luckily the music found on it is far from bleak. It’s pretty much the same proggy space rock that we have come to expect from these guys, except this time around the music is a little happier and one could even say dancy. But what makes this is a standout album is all the glorious emotion that these Danes pack into each song. They’ve been doing it for years now but it looks like people have finally noticed. Take a look at the brand new video for their song “Repeaterbeater” from the album.
