The Maine - You Are Ok (March 29, 2019) Album • Page 29

Yeah this definitely not LLL and I love that

 

Yeah this is unsurprisingly great. Awesome follow-up to one of my favorite rock albums in recent memory. Gonna be playing this all summer

 

How am just realizing the guitar riff in the left speaker in Numb Wothout You

I Feel It All Over’s chorus is heavy

Heaven has a LOT going on, excited to circle back here. Works fantastic as a centerpiece to the album

One Sunset should be a winner on alt rock radio over the summer

Flowers is far and away the career highlight here

Overall, WOW WOW WOW, from an arrangement and songwriting perspective, this is such a massive lurch forward for the band. Are the songs as immediate? I don’t think so, but there was not a moment on this album where I wasn’t impressed by what they were doing.

 

Just got an email saying the fan edition will have an online edition next week.

 

John sounds better than ever on here

 

Anyone's elses pre order still not ship?

 

I am loving every song on this.

 

Someone in the YouTube comments for Flowers On The Grave pointed out that the song ends @ 9:23. 8123...8+1=9. Might be reaching, but it's a cool little nod if it was done on purpose.

 

I have been a light listener of The Maine from an earlier era but man, this record has aged with me. That closer is a fucking jam.

 

Just about finished my second run through of the album, it might be my favorite album by them. This bands journey from 2007-present is just crazy.

 

haha. i was there, i think it was "just numb without you." it def wound up picking up, people were dancing hard.

but yeah, the crowd was almost like entirely early 20's females. i felt very old as a 32 year old man

 

Yeah to think this is the same band that came from the 'neon' era of pop punk is nuts.

Album sounds great. Really dig it. Closer is a JAM

 

set from last night:

Numb Without You
Don't Come Down
Diet Soda Society

thought it was interesting no English Girls, Girls Do What They Want, My Heroine. also, no encore.

show was incredible though, they really know how to get the crowd involved and have fun.

 

Mine hasn't either

 

I’m in awe of this band and what they’ve become. Been there since discovering The Way We Talk on MySpace back in high school and following their growth for all these years has been thrilling. A band I truly grew up with. This album is a culmination of that growth in so many ways. I love it.

 

On my second listen and saving my thoughts until a couple more listens. But the strings on this are amazing. Need to get that deluxe edition

 

This is an amazing step in the right direction after LLL. I am so happy for this band.

 

Wow.

 

This album kinda reminds me of Love Drunk era Boys Like Girls.

 

I know it’s been said a million times but it can’t be overstated, I can’t believe this bands progress over the years. This album is incredible

 

Want to feel old? That album turns 10 in a few months.

 

Initial thoughts: this is their most powerful album for sure. It's really stunning and was a really emotional first listen for me (particularly the first and last song). Tears Won't Cry and One Sunset both sound like they could make some real waves. I like how diverse the sound is. I really just loved teh whole thing, and Flowers On The Grave didn't feel like its runtime at all.

I'm no longer going to say I can't believe how far they've come or that I can't believe it's the same band who made Can't Stop Won't Stop, because at this point, this level of excellence is exactly what I've come to expect from a band called The Maine.

 

If One Setset isn’t released as a single I’m going to riot

 

Heaven, We're Already Here might be my favorite Maine song ever. What a banger.

 

Everyone seems to love that one and it didn't grab me. I'll have to just listen more.
