The Maine - The Maine (August 1, 2023) Album • Page 34

I finally got shipping for my silver vinyl

 

Only 228 copies? lol

 

Really thought that was going to be the way they'd make it widely available, but I guess nope because it's already gone

 

This album has had one of the dumbest vinyl rollouts I have ever seen. Truly baffling.

 

Finally got my shipping notification. I can breathe a little easier now.

 

Record in-hand as of yesterday. Haven’t opened it yet. Vibe wasn’t right tonight.

 

Vibe was much better for listening this evening. Weird angle I know. Worth the wait!

 

My bundle finally, finally showed up today.

On that subject, if anyone wants the flag from this bundle, I really don't think I'll use it and would be happy to send it to a good home. lol

 

There’s a tour exclusive variant of the vinyl. It’s translucent blue, no idea how many copies there are.

 

Someone posted the set list on Reddit and to me at least, it’s pretty disappointing. The lack of new songs being played is criminal and there aren’t too many songs they don’t usually play. I’m hoping they do a proper album tour next year

 

The setlist on setlist.fm looks pretty good? There’s 5 songs from LLL and 3 from every other record. What more can you ask for during an “eras” tour?

 

There are a few surprises in there but these feel like songs that they usually play from these albums. I also think there should be less from LLL and more from the new album. Personal preference but they chose some of my least favorite songs from each album

 

I think part of the issue is if you’re doing an eras tour, you’re going to play the songs that are either most popular or most recognized from the records. I think they did a good job of spreading it out overall. I’m sure the deep cuts will be back when they hit the road again, probably in more direct support of their new stuff.

 

Personally, I would be fine if they never played Right Girl again.

 

I’d rather hear that than Into Your Arms. I feel like there’s so many songs off the first two albums that never get played and deserve to get played more often.

 

Makes sense. Honestly, I think the eras tour is a strange idea given their recent popularity/air play on alt radio and just putting out a new album. I feel like this tour would’ve made more sense after touring the new one and needing to get fans to come again, but what do I know

 

Them not playing "I Think About You All The Time" is criminal

 

I think id rather hear almost any song than Right Girl that they play fairly regularly.
I'd also love if they dropped Girls Do What They Want.
Really happy to see they are playing Thoughts off the new album. My favorite track.

 

They're still playing "Girls Do What They Want"? I feel like that one has...not aged well.

 

They should play Everything I Ask For if they play anything off the first album.

 

They're playing Can't Stop Won't Stop in full at next year's WWWYF

 

Yeah I dont know about aging well or not...i've just never liked the song much at all yet its very often on the setlists. Thats usually my bathroom break song.

 

It’s good but I can’t see myself going back to it over the original

 

The original is way better. I wonder if they are going to push this new version to alt radio
