FROM M.
BREEN/CITYBEAT: "The first time I put on Got
to Tell the World, the new album by local Pop/Rock foursome Screaming
Mimes, and cued up the first track, “You’re the Kind of Girl,” I listened
for about a minute then had to run outside to pay my parking meter. Walking
back to the office, I found myself already singing the chorus hook in my head,
totally unconsciously. That’s a sign of great songwriting, showing singer/guitarist
David Storm’s intuitive grasp of what makes an instantly memorable Pop melody.
World (the band’s third LP) is, start to finish, loaded with these kinds of
ear-candy hooks. If you don’t have a handful of these melodies in your head
after listening to the album once, you should see an otologist. The band can
lean toward a “Soft Rock” side at times — the tune “Open” could have made
Toto a million dollars — but the sturdy songcraft still shines through. The
tracks that feature a strong, upbeat groove seem to work best: “Motion” and
“Beating Like a Drum” (among others) infuse Ska rhythms, sounding a bit like
The Samples. “The Saddest Girl in the World” has an anthemic quality and Third
Eye Blindish jaunt, while the “hidden track,” “It’s Not Over,” gives the band
a chance to show off their musicianship as they go nuts during a 10-minute
jam. The Mimes show versatility on World and, despite a few down moments,
it’s the sort of album you can put on and know that your mood and spirit will
be lifted."
