yeah they are more like late 90s bands than All Time Low/Cartel/Mayday Parade etc.
and thanks for the Pos! I'm an English major and obsess over listening to albums and reading reviews. I figured it was time to actually do something with it, probably looks good on a resumé

Just downloaded this, don't know what to think. I've never really acknowledged this band's existence.

ok, I was wrong. This jams pretty hard. Some super catchy tunes here. Musicianship's surprisingly
tight. Have a feeling it'll endear itself to me more over time, but right now it's a solid 3.5
EDIT: Blood Red is a serious tune!

ahaha the first track was bugging me and I realized what was bugging me about it. when he goes "you get what you pay for" the melody is nearly identical to the chorus melody of Minus the Bear's Into the Mirror. and the lyrics are the same too.

yeah they are more like late 90s bands than All Time Low/Cartel/Mayday Parade etc. they were very much a pop punk/pop rock band until the album before this, when they started to sound more like 90s alt rock bands. but as far as I'm concerned, they still have very much "pop punk-like" lyrics.

yeah they definitely still have a lot of pop-punk to their sound... and I like some bands in that genre, but The Maine's newest two albums are a completely different sound than their first two albums, different enough imo to call it a different genre. That's why my "related albums" were what they were. Honestly, it was very tough to think of albums in the pop-punk genre that were even remotely related to this

Track 4 is a great BTBAM cover, too bad they didn't include any sweeping though
|
| |
Wow, I really like this. It's catchy, but pretty dark and brooding. Excellent vocals. Great title and cover as well.

the title really made me fear this would suck... idk, it just seemed immature - and didn't make sense for a June release... but the lyrics of that song make perfect sense, and made me love the title so much

Not willing to rest on their laurels, Arizonan quintet The Maine continue their reinvention on 4th LP 'Forever Halloween'. Their 2nd successive independent release, this raw - borderline grungy - album owes a lot to the production of The Raconteurs Brendan Benson. Often dark & introspective, this may not be as catchy, energetic or memorable as predecessor 'Pioneer', but is a natural evolution for the former pop-rock act. Influences vary far & wide, with hints of Brit-pop, 90's alt-rock & pop-punk. It doesn't all work, but is relatively consistent & admirable in its ambition. Recommended Tracks: Love & Drugs, Blood Red, White Walls & Run.

I rated this and Pioneer equally. In my review I talk about how this overpowers Pioneer as a full album, but I still prefer most individual songs on Pioneer (Identify, Misery, Don't give up on us, hell even Thinking of You comes back to me more than anything on this new album)
