The Maine - The Maine (August 1, 2023) Album • Page 24

Whaaat, blame Is one of the best songs on the album haha.

 

Heavily front-loaded album. Even then, one song sounds way too much like We Didn't Start The Fire at times. And a snoozer of a closer.

 

Good lord, thoughts I have, is too damn catchy.

 

it’s not front loaded bc “cars and caution signs” exists imo

 

“Front loaded” as in the first 9 songs are amazing and then the 10th song is just good

 

The best part of the record is in the middle lol

i think —> thoughts —> funny —> cars

 

Opinions beyond “it’s pretty good” seem to be all over the place on this one. I haven’t seen any I agree with yet.

 

My LLL vinyl. It's in pristine condition (played once) if anyone is interested please PM me also sorry @Jason Tate if this is against the rules pls don't yell at me

 

You forgot leave in five. Tsk tsk

 

Yeah I listened to this a lot this week!

 

I agree with front loaded. The first four songs might be the best on the album

 

Garrett’s bass playing might be my favorite thing in this album. He did a great job.

 

Funny is the worst song on the record I feel like.

Wildly different opinions on this across the board.

 

How to Exit a Room is easily my favourite but after that the best section is 6-8.

 

Ok I like them all but if we’re on best/worst songs, I’m gonna do the song ranking thing now that I’ve probably listened to this album like 15 times

1. how to exit a room
2. i think about you all the time
3. thoughts i have while lying in bed
4. cars & caution signs
5. leave in five
6. dose no. 2
7. blame
8. spiraling
9. the mood i’m in / jsyk
10. funny how?

 

This whole thing fucking rules, falling super hard for it. Where should I go next?

 

I never put it very high on my list but the first thing I woke up to this morning was leave in 5 in my head

 

Man, I love it so much. I connect with it deeply and I love their slower stuff - kind of like “Lonely” the interlude on LLL. The second verse and the clips of his child in the song just melt me every time I hear it.

 

Damn, yeah…this album is special.

I can’t really remember the last album I listened to where I knew it was a special one during the first listen. I think it might have been Mother Nature by Dangerous Summer.

 

Funny, I was just jamming that today

 

Lovely Little Lonely

 

I've never done this with an album before, but I've been looping this back to the beginning after Cars & Caution Signs. The album feels virtually perfect up to that point.

Not to add to the pile on with Spiraling. It's...fine? It feels like a bonus track tacked on to make the record an even 10 tracks.

I guess it's just not something I can imagine catching my ear in a Starbucks, where I'm pretty sure I'd shazam the living daylights out of every other song here.

 

In other news, can we get "Blame" or "I Think About You All the Time" on the charts please?

 

Finally got around to spin this today and just wow. Not. A. Single. Skip.
