I started this decade at the age of 16 and am leaving it at 26. In these 10 years I grew up with a lot of different music as my tastes evolved. Looking at back, it was fun to see all of the records I bought and what really stood out over all of these years. Some of these albums I loved right away, while others have proven themselves to me over time.
Mew are one of my favorite bands of all time. While I love every single record they've put out, Frengers was the first one I heard (back in 2005) and has stuck with me every since. The opening track immediately hit me with everything I love about music. This album is flawless and definitely the best of the last 10 years.
