    Mew really does inhabit a place where few contemporaries can be found.

    Mew has succeeded in developing a good sound from some of the least hip ingredients imaginable, and No More Stories... feels like a consolidation of every stride they've made to date.

    Fiendishly clever, but not easy to love. [Oct 2009, p.104]

    This album seems to be a contradiction, Cheerful and good-natured, cold and brooding, Simple song structures executed in brilliant complexity, straightforward messages with twisting and winding lyrics, this album is by far one of the most fantastic albums of 2009. I'm glad No More Stories gets to bask in the attention it well deserves… Expand

    Stunning. Album of the year, and the best of Mew's career.

    Duped again by the critics into buying something awful....doesn't happen every time (my meager excuse for continuing to take a flyer on a band I've never even heard of). I like good pop as much as the next chap, but this isn't it. Can someone please invent a way to sell your used iTunes downloads?… Expand
