Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Off

actually never checked out triumph, maybe i'll give it a go today

you should, and if you enjoy it check Swirlies- They Spent their Wild Youthful days...

you would see where the influence on the guitar playing comes from straight away

the swirlies dude played on at least one song on every mew album except the most recent one iirc

Triumph is very underrated. It's such a calming album, but I guess you can hear the dudes are not very old.

I feel like youthful naivety has always been a big part of their sound

Album Rating: 4.0

Definitely.



And thanks for Swirlies, never heard them before, but there's clearly some inspiration there.

yeah they are great friends apparently. I think the guitarist/singer, Damon, lives in Sweden now.

figured people who like this band would like to look into them

Album Rating: 2.5

Since when did this band forget to write engaging songs? Lots of meandering nothingness, palatable but ultimately very forgettable. Visuals is even worse, nobody has even bothered reviewing it yet which speaks volumes.

Album Rating: 4.5

both this and Visuals are great and if I wasn't an awful writer I'd be on that.

Except you're not a terrible writer. You just have low self-esteem.

Album Rating: 4.0

It hurts, but I am forced to conclude that this is slightly better than Visuals.



What if we get

numb

Searching for things to discover?

Album Rating: 4.5

this is my 2nd or 3rd favorite by them honestly

This is like a 4.5 to me and Visuals is a 3.5. Honestly, I did not like this album much at first. It has grown on me so much. My favorite Mew albums are this and No More Stories.

Album Rating: 3.0

Superb album for sure.

Album Rating: 4.5

Water Slides, Interview The Girls, and Satellites are my least favorite on this and they are all still pretty great.



My Complications has been 3rd but it might actually be my favorite Mew song and is criminally underrated. It's a jam with an amazing chorus and ughhh the outro section is superb.

Album Rating: 4.5

bumping my rating, this is all too quality.



Glass Handed Kites might also be a 4.5 so that would make 4 4.5's in a row for me with this band and I don't think any other band I listen to has that besides Protest The Hero. granted, they are all kinda just barely 4.5's but still, quite a feat.

Preach brother.

Clinging to a Bad Dream is my least favorite here. I guess followed by My Complications.

Album Rating: 3.0

No More Stories is 10 years old today......and man, do I feel old

Album Rating: 2.5

Yeah, this and Visuals ain't good, man
