User Album Review
For many reasons, Stories holds its own as a successful departure from Nothing More’s previous rock stylings. Without a doubt, it is the same Nothing More that gave birth to their eclectic, unique self-titled album sound, but Stories is largely its own creation. There are still anarchistic winks and broken-hearted prose, as much tailored to this album as any of those prior, but it’s clear from the jump this album pulls in some new influence. It’s impossible to dismiss the ratcheted-up rock that naturally settles into the framework of the band’s core. With its wide variety of sounds and styles, this album provides a fresh backdrop for what is hopefully the next era in the band’s career.
Nothing More has created something important with Stories. With its universally-relatable material, it avoids the archaic trap of drugs, sex, and rock and roll. Like many socially-aware punk, metal or rock acts that have come before them, Nothing More reinforces the need to touch on social constructs, relationships, and the complexity of carrying on a family bloodline. With these Stories, the world is gifted something amazing.
