Destination: Stopgap release. To quote the band and their Tooth & Nail bio: "'It’s been about one and a half years since Destination: Beautiful, so we felt that it would be awesome to give our fans something new while they await our new album,' explains Mae keyboardist Rob Sweitzer of the project.”

people, please be realistic here. its ok but its not that good. they even repeat 2 songs twice which was a terrible move. this album is fun at first but has such a short shelf life. dont get carried away dishing out 5 star reviews because that seriously jeopodises your integrity. T To appreciate Mae, you must know music. I will admit that their producer is incredible, but this band has real talent as well. This album, although a questionable concept, is good. "Futuro" is instrumental with some weird sounds coming out of there, but it delivers a catchy line nonetheless. Although "This Time is the Last Time" is overdone, at least the remix sounds completely different from the recorded and live versions. And listen to "Tisbury Lane." Whether you like the song or not, you can't deny that the bass in that song is badass. So all the haters out there need to chill. If you don't like catchy music that sounds like emo-pop, if you will, then don't listen to it. But don't hate either. Isn't there enough of that around the world? Let's not bring it into the music scene too. screw all of you. just because you have no love for Mae you don't have to leave crappy comments about how "emo" they are. they're a good christian band trying to make it so stop putting them down. not only that they're freaking awesome live so screw you. Good release, like it a lot.. I really wasn't aware that they were even big enough to be "rated" at all... this is probably the most overrated band in music. "i speak for every1....hahahaha" Dude, all emo is B-sides. Fuck that....H-sides.... " May music that actually says something, like propagandhi." This is the biggest pile of crap i have seen in a long time. This band thinks they are the beatles or something. Was a "b sides" album really necessary guys? Heres a concept, how about instead of thinking of 300 different ways that the bald keyboard player can tinker with all of his electronic crap-rock toys, you work on new material and give the fans something besides rehashed horse dung. Or better yet, just stop. Please just stop the insanity. May music that actually says something, like propagandhi. Don't know anything about Mae, but damn that new Grant Olney record on Asian Man is the shit. P.S. - guy a couple down who is anonymous, I did not diss disconnected... if you read past that sentence I said it was a great song. I meant "bad" in that it was kinda bad face to face put the song on three different releases. "I didn't know they were big enough to warrant a b-sides cd." haha Hawthorne Heights has the most ridiculous lyrics. I sing along to that Victory commercial all the time. My friends still in Highschool tell me that this mall metal/emo shit is getting out of hand. Looks like I got out just in time. I didn't know they were big enough to warrant a b-sides cd. score is for the odds that i got ghonarea last night. Fuck you and dissing disconnected. You're lame. Bad, but still better than the Ramones. I mean what in the hell is up with every girl liking this kind of music being so goddam fat. Is it because they think boys who write such deep lyrics can look past the fact that their guts hang past their vaginas, or do they just think they maybe they can feel their pain and relate. If not Atreyu maybe Hawthorne Heights on the fourth? "remember when mae was good? i was walking to the store today and i saw four morbidly obese girls coming my way. Their hoodies with Linkin Park, Slipknot, and good charlotte respectively. I didn't catch the fourth girl but I'm guessing Atreyu? Speaking of Richmond and Mae, one time I was in Richmond for some reason, and I was kind of meandering around over by Plan 9 and these guys were playing like an accoustic instore there. The average age was 15, the average weight was 190lbs, and the only reason it wasn't well over 200 is because there were 4 bulemic boys there. And by the way, those were the only boys there. I have never seen so many fat girls in my life, especially fat girls who had raided the kids section at Gadzooks, not Hot Topic, but Gadzooks, this shit was way cheesier than something you'd find at Hot Topic and that seems to be impossible. If I were in a band and I was drawing fan of said demographic then I'd hang up my spurs. No strike anywhere review? Anyhow, Mae is not my cop o' tea! yeah, i wonder what possesed them to release a "b-sides" album, but really thier full-legnth is a good listen. Not groundbreaking by any means, but nice to chill out to once in awhile. You gotta admit though, Alleykatz is a pretty good venue. Cheap booze, lotsa room and even the Souls still play there. By the way, maybe it was just me, but I was really struggling to read through that last paragraph. It's pretty ugly. I really dislike being in Richmond, since the punkscene seems to be 3 venues with a shitty rotation of shitty emometalcore or whatever it's called now, and Race The Sun, which is shit on shit, but it's so much better than living in some of those more rural places in Veeaye. Oh, that's Southwest....I guess this would be like Rocky Mount or some shit... Southeast VA?!?!?!?!? boo-urns to this "This score for the disgrace mae has brought upon southeastern virginia." This one of the few emo-indie bands that are very good. Their last album was perfect and their new album is gonna be one of the best of the year This score for the disgrace mae has brought upon southeastern virginia. I cant believe AP called these guys "edgy" This score is for Mae's live show. Not too bad. Makes me wanna shake my bon-bon. (Yeah, I'm still living la vida loca) remember when mae was good? "the “B-side” to a vinyl single’s “A-side”." its alright. not too great. weak how can you review this if you admittedly have not even heard their actual album? how can you review this if you admittedly have not even heard their actual album? fuck this band. seriously. gooooooooooooooooooo cashgrabs! |
