If you play it backwards you get a new song called "Nervous."

Gorille85 · « **Reply #36 on:** November 26, 2010, 09:56:43 AM »

That's what I've heard, and I find it really cool! It's just that it ruins a bit the sound of the song for me.

Anyways, second album recommendations?

skydivingninja · « **Reply #37 on:** November 26, 2010, 10:41:26 AM »

Frengers or And the Glass Handed Kites. My personal preference is Frengers

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #38 on:** November 26, 2010, 06:29:57 PM »

Yeah, Frengers is the way to go.

Or if you really wanna have your mind blown, get the Live in Copenhagen DVD. Songs from both Frengers and Glass Handed Kites

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #39 on:** February 10, 2011, 10:00:30 AM »

Bump.

I should not have waited so long to get Live in Copenhagen, wow it is amazing!

antigoon · « **Reply #40 on:** February 10, 2011, 10:48:47 AM »

I dusted off Frengers again. I listened to it about five times and then shelved it for whatever reason. Still haven't really digested it fully but I'm pretty sure I like it

I have No More Stories as well but I'm waiting a bit to listen to that one.

I guess their second album would be called Mewtwo

sonatafanica · « **Reply #42 on:** February 10, 2011, 10:51:09 AM »

That's not what their second album is called at all.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #43 on:** February 10, 2011, 10:59:00 AM »

I actually revisited both Half the World is Watching and A Triumph of Man again last week. There's some good work on both of those albums, even though many of the songs ended on Frengers. The versions seem a lot different. I also have the bonus discs for those to check out still when they were reissued.

I think if you really love Frengers, both of them are worth hearing.

ZeppelinDT · « **Reply #44 on:** February 10, 2011, 04:09:28 PM »

^^^ Agreed. Most of "Half the World..." ended up on Frengers, but with the exception of "She Came Home For Christmas", all of "A Triumph For Man" is different. That album is worth it for "Panda" alone.

I've also recently picked up a few 7" and 10" singles... apparently they've got a ton of B-sides that aren't on any albums at all (e.g., "Like Chaser", "Killer", "Drown", "Safe as Houses", "In Time Do You Forget", and "Animals of Many Colors"). Some of them are pretty good.

Have you seen the version from Live in Copenhagen? It's like epic squared... then squared again. Seeing that song performed live a few years ago was what made me go from "hey this band is pretty cool" to "OMFG I <3 MEW FOREVER!"

I really hope Mew comes south one day...

Hello my reading comprehension fails.

That or I didn't bother reading the thread. Forgive me, your highness.

Why are you old guys always so mad at me?

Didn't mean to be mad. I seriously hadn't read the thread, so I fail.

No, I've heard good things about that though. I should check it out.

dongringo · « **Reply #56 on:** February 13, 2011, 02:49:16 PM »

Yeah, Mew is one of those bands that are unbelievable live. I had the great privilege of seeing them live three times, including their first ever U.S. gig, at a tiny brick and concrete dive called Berbati's Pan in Portland which is no more. It was simply mind blowing. Never pass up a chance to see this band live!

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #57 on:** February 13, 2011, 03:15:58 PM »

they are cool visually live, but they aren't so into mixing with the fans. I saw them twice, and neither time did they come out to say hello, sign, etc.

faemir · « **Reply #58 on:** February 16, 2011, 12:04:06 PM »

Comforting Sounds might just be the most epic thing in indie rock ever.

welp, time to get the live version

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #61 on:** February 22, 2011, 09:06:36 PM »

Hey everyone.

Which one of the first two albums is more worth buying? Haven't listened to either yet because I want to buy at least one of their releases.

zxlkho · « **Reply #62 on:** February 22, 2011, 09:12:47 PM »

Okay, I'm checking this album out. Quad convinced me.

1st 2, as in A Triumph of Man and Half the World is Watching

or the previous 2, Frengers and And the Glass Handed Kites.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #64 on:** February 22, 2011, 09:30:20 PM »

I already have/love Frengers and Glass Kites.

I'm talking about their very first two, A Triumph of Man and Half the World is Watching.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #65 on:** February 22, 2011, 11:15:15 PM »

I'd go with Half the World is Watching. Although trying to track down a hard copy of either of them, to ship to the States, at a reasonable price may be a tall task. Since I was looking for either of those very 2 discs a few weeks ago and most of the prices to import were pretty high. I never did check Ebay which probably would make sense.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #66 on:** February 23, 2011, 06:24:16 AM »

Picked this album up last week in Borders. god, it's amazing.

Hmm... I think I disagree. I'd go with A Triumph for Man. 5 out of the 8 songs on "Half the World..." are repeated on Frengers. Sure, they're different versions, but if you're looking for totally different material, A Triumph For Man only has one repeat ("She Came Home For Christmas"). Triumph has some killer tunes too... (e.g., "Wheels Over Me", "Panda", "Beautiful Balloon" and "Web")

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #68 on:** March 04, 2011, 03:53:11 PM »

Frengers is fucking amazing.

That is all.
