Note to self in the future, check this site. I searched for a last minute ticket for an hour and came up empty. Dangit.
In case anyone is interested, full video of the set from Anaheim, CA the night before Thanksgiving. The Maine - Live at House of Blues Anaheim - The Mirror Tour
The whole maine album is still good haha. I also always play Yule Shoot your eye out by FOB, Forget december SOCO, and Lights and Buzz from Jack's mannequin
I was jamming this EP last week. Classic for me at Christmas time. Wild to see how far this band has come.
I know they never make the same album twice but I’d love another summer album from these guys. LLL is a masterpiece to me and the Third Eye Blind influences just won me over in a big way. Don’t get me wrong I really like their latest album too, I just have to be in a certain mood to appreciate it fully.
The CSWS set from 8123 fest and the instrumental versions of their albums are now up on band camp. 8123
I hope this new record is more pop-leaning like LLL and American Candy. This last record was fine, but I don't return to these songs like I do those last two albums.
I go back to yao a lot, previous 2 set a standard for the band but I'd say Yao is tied for third with pioneer for me
I think LLL is the stronger album – it’s just so cohesive and seamless and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts – but YAOK probably has the better songs. Or at least the higher highs.
