No More Stories… 7 years, 6 months ago · updated 7 years, 5 months ago(I recommend listening to the album while reading for maximum emotional effect)
Okay, I think it’s time to unleash my monster. And so, without further ado, I present to you, my well-developed theory — NMS AS A CONCEPT ALBUM ABOUT LIFE, FROM START TO FINISH:Okay, I’ll do this track-by-track and then interlace with certain overall tidbits.

WOW! That’s quite an interesting and fleshed-out interpretation. I see many ways that it fits 🙂 pretty sad story for our poor protagonist though…
-
😀
-
Think my interpretation of Kites was actually quite similar to that.
-
I finally found the time to read this with thought. That is an amazing interpretation and darker than I had imagined (which was already dark), but – of course – I never saw it as a concept album storywise. It makes sense, though.
Now – if you don’t mind, Ilai – I try to forget this, as I want to keep my own version of it.
-
Agreed, and +1’d! I try not to keep this in mind most of the time. There are many available interpretations for each song, most of these standalones being much better than those belonging to the concept, so I try to stick to those. Either way, this was a cool thought experiment for myself, and I figured it’d be fun to share with you guys too!

That was interesting reading indeed. I think some og it fits and other things are a bit too constructed to fit in with The theory. For instance The child. I only think The “protoganist” dreams of having a child. Like jonas himself. And btw i always find that lyric extremely melancolic. :'( but i like The “birth to death” theme om The album 🙂 i…[Read more]

No More Stories… 7 years, 6 months agoI have an incredible, perhaps life-changing, mind-boggling, perception-twisting, consciousness-altering, (or maybe just cool!) theory about NMS. Let’s all get some more members in here, so I can blow the minds of the whole Mew milieu collectively. 😀
-
Go on then! Does it correlate perfectly with The Wizard of Oz or something?
-
This was a reference to Dark Side of The Moon btw, for those unfamiliar…not just me being random again.

No More Stories… 7 years, 6 months agoGuys, I was thinking, is there anybody here who remember when the pre-order of this album started?
-
The album was announced in May, so maybe around then. I ordered it in July.

No More Stories… 7 years, 6 months agohands down my favourite album ever. yes I know they started to change their sound in here but I can’t help but love all of their songs here.
-
I can’t wait for 2023. Album #7, yaaay!
-
How many more albums do you think Mew have left in the tank? +- could be their last…
-
I can only see them retiring if they find a better job. What could it be? So, for now, Mew seems to have a long career ahead of them still. They’re still young.
-
They’re a couple of years off being middle-aged, and they’ve got kids and that…
-
the problem is only Jonas and Johan that looks like can still keep up with some music. i’d like to see side projects from Bo and Silas also
-
-
I think they will make albums as long as they can sell them… Or as Tero said, another job is necessary to live.
-
-
-
gotta catch them all, right?
-
For me it is the best of them for sure, No more makes me fan of them for real, the others are very good, but at least for me they are not genius and incredible, with No more they evolve their sound in such way from the others that somehow scaries me hauahuah, and woow the elements and the sound production its from another level… goosh hauhauh
-
Great album. It’s definitely where I felt their sound started to change a little bit but to me my favourite album will always be ATGHK. It’s the one album from Mew that I think could be objectively called one of the best albums of all time.
-
I’d disagree and say Frengers was “objectively better” 😛
While Kites is impressive as a complete album, the quality of individual songs do not match the level of the songs on Frengers.
-
We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one 😛 Frengers does contain my favourite Mew song though ‘Comforting Sounds.’
-
CS and me are together to death do us part <3
-
-
I know what you mean @detkanin – indeed for the longest time my favourite Mew song was 156, even when I was obsessed with ATGHK.
-
-
-
that was brilliant. made me laugh hard
-
Easily my favorite album of all time. Such a diverse range of sounds/instrumentation. And the production is really top notch.
