Already snagged the limited vinyl variant. If history is any indication, these will go quick. Also, looks like there’s vinyl copies of American Candy up on the web store again if anyone needs a copy.

 

Love the title and the cover

 

This song is better than pretty much all of American Candy.

 

I loved the 3eb vibes i got from american candy. glad they're staying in that direction.

 

Nah there are definitely some songs from AC that are better than this haha. This song would've been right at home on that album though.

 

This is definitely an extension of American Candy, namely "English Girls." I'd expect this to be a bridge between this and a newer sound, which, from the vibe of the artwork, seems to be darker.

 

Don't agree. There are probably 5 songs on that album that are better than this one.

 

Oh yeah, that's the vibe i'm getting too. From the video clips and other information it seems that the recording and writing of this album occurred within a relatively difficult time for the band, particularly John. So it will be very interesting to see which direction the record heads in as a whole.

American Candy will always be an awesome summer record to me. It really has an impressive replay value already and I am surprised that not many people seem to be into it.

 

Anyone watch the Miserable Youth videos on the making of this new album?

 

Yes, and that is a large part of why I’m so excited for this release personally.

 

Any reason why Can't Stop Won't Stop isn't on Spotify? All I can think of is they don't want to associate with it anymore because that's not who they are anymore, but at the same time The Way We Talk is up there.

 

They posted on Twitter that they were aware it was gone and were looking into it.

 

Just got added to Viva Phx, for all you fellow AZ dwellers

 

This single still rocks.

Unrelated, but Imaginary Numbers EP is really incredible. The songs are all filled with such emotion and are crafted with such detail. What a fantastic record.

 

(Un)Lost might be one of my favorite songs this band has ever created.

 

On first listen it didn’t stand out to me, but I came back to it a few times and something clicked at a certain point. I can’t stop loving it now. It’s “different" in all the right ways for them I think.

 

"With my eyes closed this feels like home
Adrift in my own head
and all I really know is
whatever this is, it doesn't get easier
So take it slow
Just take it slow."

"The world is ours
but for a flash
And you are not allowed to be anybody else
Control what you can
Confront what you can't
And always remember
How lucky you are to have yourself."

 

These guys are out and about doing some fan appreciation stuff today. Pulled into my house from getting lunch and they were outside in the back of a U-Haul playing Bad Behavior for one of my neighbors, who apparently is a huge fan haha.

 

Stand-up dudes, right there.

 

That is awesome!

 

Can't believe I never listened to American Candy. This is incredible. About to go take a trip to visit the old college over "spring break." This is going to get some spins!

 

Nice! That's actually my neighborhood haha. I think they hit about 5 or 6 more houses after that too. Honestly can't think of a band in the "scene" that is better to their fans than The Maine.

 

Awesome, awesome record.

 

Lack of interest in this record overall has boggled my mind! I spin it so much. Hope you enjoy it
