4.5 superb | YourDarkAffected | May 4th 12 | so far I am really digging the sound that they have progressed to. I don't look at it like they are trying to be like any other their previous albums, but that it is just a natural new direction and I think they do it exceptionally well. I haven't been able to listen to it with the lyrics but I have full faith that Aaron has outdone himself with them again too.

4.0 excellent | PuddlesPuddles | April 30th 12 | It's like a mixture of A and B if B was a bit more muted as heard on #1. Because #3 was not at all as memorable or youthful as #2, they added C in the name of something called influence and now this album sounds like #4 - either on par, beyond or below your expectations for the band you secretly wish you were a part of but are forced to critique from afar

0.0 | Athom EMERITUS | April 30th 12 | It's not shit but it's not all that good either. I didn't expect much after the kumbaya bullshit of their last album, but at least that one had some cool songs to make the ride through the mediocrity seem almost worth it.

4.5 superb | letsgofishing | May 2nd 12 | Melody and mewithoutYou have not been strangers for a long time now, and it should be no surprise that
Aaron sings now and sings a lot. But if one can get past their bias towards mewithoutYou's earlier work, you
would find that the band remains as inventive and engaging as they have ever been. This album is like
getting hugged by an old friend. (Holy shit, ignore that last line. Such sentimentality is revolting.)

4.0 excellent | Archelaos | May 6th 12 | I'm really not understanding the low ratings for this, especially from those who thought that It's All Crazy! It's All False was a bad album but liked the band's earlier works. This is an exciting remould of elements from Catch For Us the Foxes (admittedly one of their least talked about albums (although I don't know why)). Forgetting about "February 1878," Ten Stories is a pop album at first, and then a splash into the post-hardcore chemists' edgier sound. "Grist For The Malady Mill" is the band's best "pop" song to date, and "Fox's Dream of the Log Flume" rivals some of Catch For Us the Foxes' best moments. Highly recommended for those seeking some of the story-telling whimsy of their previous album mixed with elements that we've all come to adore from the band.

4.5 superb | Gene Gol-Jonsson CONTRIBUTOR | December 12th 21 | 'Ten Stories' may be the perfect jumping off point for either anyone in need of mewithoutYou's introduction or anyone searching an actually appealing modern day post-hardcore leaning indie music.

5.0 classic | 3waycrash | October 8th 18 | After the shift in style with their previous album, Ten Stories is a bit of a return to form for the band. It's got the fable-like storytelling of It's All Crazy with the musicianship of Brother, Sister. With it being a concept album it revolves around the story of a train crash that results in the release of various circus animals. Aaron swings through each song telling of the events that follow with each of the different animals, masterfully mixing in religious and philosophical undertones to these allegorical characters. Truly underneath the tales of these animals is something human. It's real, even tragic, but as always, ever so poetic.

4.5 superb | codyliciousss | June 3rd 12 | I figured I would like Ten Stories even with the innate feeling that there would be more of the campfire type singing by Weiss than earlier works. Really well put together, masterful lyricism yet again, spot on. More talking would be nice.

4.0 excellent | Scoot | May 2nd 12 | i kept waiting and waiting for this to break out of its shell, but it never really does. the best songs are the ones i've already heard. bit of a disappointment, but it's still pretty good

2.5 average | ThunderNeutral21 | May 1st 12 | ryeah im not digging the concept or lyrical approach I get 0 from it but everything else is rdone exceptionally well, way way way better than its all crazy. Marries the melodies and rfeel of Catch for Us the Foxes, the variation and delivery of Brother Sister and a small dab rof what few happy folk elements worked on their last album. I still dont fully love their rdirection and choice to make a sappy concept album about a fucking circus train, but it's rpretty gorgeous and incredibly well executed for what it is. It's not exactly consistent, but its overall miles less rgay than their previous record. Its a lot of fun guys, theres rnothing wrong with being cute! its way better than animal collective promise
