The Maine - The Maine (August 1, 2023) Album • Page 42

Here for post punk revival The Maine

 

I dig it but I know it will get old pretty fast.

Not one to make my ‘The Maine playlist’.

 

No lie, I’m digging that new Mayday Parade song more than this…

 

I don't think it's the biggest departure, but it's kind of interesting that it's a The Maine song and not a John The Ghost song.

 

As much as I love this band, looking at the artwork again for this single, I feel like single/album artwork really is not their strong point. Like some of them are fine, but most aren't great at all (looking at you LLL and XOXO)

 

Agree about XOXO but I actually like the LLL album cover

 

Late to this, but I kinda like the song actually

 

Yeah, I dig this song. Not their best, but it's still a fun little bop and it's over before you can get tired of it.

Also, the artwork for LLL and XOXO are both excellent.


And "Spiraling" absolutely rules, you're just flatout wrong there @Craig Manning

 

Nah, it sucks, but you’re welcome to like things that suck!

 

And you’re welcome to be

 

Even by the standards of “love as drug” songs, which I generally think are stupid, I find this one to be particularly bad. And it’s made worse by having to bear the weight of the closing track slot. Again, you’re welcome to enjoy it! I just personally don’t find anything redeeming about it.

 

I really enjoy Touch. I think it's cool they tried something different. Honestly reminds me of a Bloc Party type of dance rock thing

 

I like it more than at least half of XOXO

 

Based

 

does anybody have set times for sad summer?

 

For the first show on 7/13/24 I saw this schedule (probably posted earlier in this thread tbh)

09:15-10:00 Mayday Parade
08:05-08:50 The Maine
07:00-07:40 The Wonder Years
06:05-06:35 We The Kings
05:15-05:45 Knuckle Puck
04:25-04:55 Real Friends
03:35-04:05 The Summer Set
02:45-03:15 Daisy Grenade
02:00-02:30 Like Roses

I went to the Chicago date and it was structurally the same but everything was moved up by about half an hour (but that's probably because Chicago has noise curfews). So this isn't 100% fixed but should give you a pretty close idea.

 

RF and KP switching slots daily iirc

 

I'm so old. I was going to get tickets for NYC today on StubHub. But sitting in 90+ degree weather for 6 hours to see all the bands I want seems miserable.

 

Do it at the beach in Asbury Park on Sunday instead. Problem solved

 

Had to bail on the MD date to travel. Bummed to miss The Maine and TWY on the same day, but it was gonna be a bear to make this work on a Friday afternoon in the burbs with no car lol

 

Are The Maine and Mayday Parade rotating closing slots?

 

perfect merch lol

 

I am coming to the realization that “how to exit a room” is one of my favorite songs in their entire catalog

 

I don’t know if these are new but there are 2 vinyl variants up on their webstore.

Self-titled Vinyl (Sea Glass Blue)

Self-titled Vinyl (Clear w/Smoke)
