5.0 out of 5 starsAs much as I try, I can't get sick of it
By TJ Ensele on June 24 2004
Format: Audio CD
This CD totally blew me away (and still does). A friend got me into these guys a few months after this CD came out, and it quickly became one of my favorite discs. I saw them on a small tour they were headlining in DC, and then made the trip two months later to see them on the same tour again. Just amazing.
This is one of the best-written CD's I've ever heard. The lyrics, though maybe corny (let's face it, most lyrics are), are still imaginative and great. The music backing up the vocals are what really get to me though. Quiet, lightly distorted guitar; interesting beats; background keyboards that add dimensions to the music. There's even a great variety of music on the disc, from the quiet Skyline Drive and Giving It Away to the harder This Time Is The Last Time and Summertime. My personal favorites are probably All Deliberate Speed and Last Call. It's so easy to just zone out and lose yourself in this music; I wish I could find more bands like this (Copeland and Matthew Good's disc Avalanche are as close as I've gotten), it's such a great style. Somewhat reserved, emo-ish, yet very musical, inventive, and awesome.
And just a note, these guys are AMAZING live. Like I said, I paid to see them twice on one tour. The music quality is as good(if not better) live as on the CD; the singer's voice is a little less soft in a live show; and though you might think it's hard for a band to totally rock out to tunes like this, these guys nail it. They did a pretty hot cover of the Beatles' A Day In The Life too, with Embers and Envelopes buried in the bridge. Very hot.
Check out [...] and see them if you can, I highly recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 starsWell...
By Colin on June 19 2004
Format: Audio CD
Being cast in the lot of the multitudinous and varied group that is "emo" tells a person next to nothing about the disc, so i figure ill give you my take on Mae. I can't say its average, because its slightly above (3/5 seems right, though perhaps 3.5 would be more fitting...in other words, amazon ought to have a 10 point scale, or 7 at least), but it has no magic, no terrific feel. The lyrics could have been penned by anybody. They don't possess a unique greatness or individuality that you might find in Cursive, Bright Eyes, Death Cab, etc. That might trouble you less than me because I look for intelligence and craftsmanship when i listen to music and i appreciate that sort of thing. Many (perhaps most) dont, so their sonic qualities are obviously important to address as well. Again, I feel they lack something that is truly unique. Its relatively standard emo-pop-rock, though they are very catchy and they do hit the right notes. In the end it seems no more than a nice breeze, and I dont think thats what Mae was going for in the impact that Destination: Beautiful was to have.
They have moments. But its the sort of music you play with your friends when you're really more concerned with them and what you guys as a group are doing than something to really get into and appreciate as some outstanding aesthetic achievement.

2.0 out of 5 starsaw c'mon! not bad but a knockoff none the less!
By k.craven on April 27 2004
Format: Audio CD
i saw this recommended while checking out another cd, read the rave reviews and thought i'd check it out. initially i didn't think it was all that bad, a bit to top heavy with all the treble, and not the most lyrically well done but resonably well composed. then it occured to me that they sounded a bit like jimmy eat world's "bleed american" - not a bad thing... until i started to notice it all becoming VERY formulated. this isn't a bad thing but when your formula is "so & so made a lot of money with album x so we're going to try and figure out what catchy stylistic bits we can get away with ripping off and make a lot of money too' there's a problem. if this album had come out in the late 90s its faults would be forgivable and i would probably be writing a great review about this new 'indie power-pop sound reminiscent of the good parts of 80s radio' but the fact is - in 2003 this is a cheap knock-off. further - they're on Tooth & Nail - a record label with a big presence in the "christian alternative" market - what better than a sound-alike band! if you like them do yourself a favor and check out jimmy eat world's latest - the "moments of absolute beauty" (ascending lines with the keyboard choir samples & slight crescendo) don't hold a candle. if you haven't heard it yet - skip it.

5.0 out of 5 starsAchieved: Beautiful
By Amazon Customer on March 26 2004
Format: Audio CD
Mae's debut album is absolutely gorgeous. I saw them live when they performed w/something corporate last fall and had to have the CD. for once, though, i found that the disc is better than the live version...but that could just be due to bad acoustics and/or not knowing the songs before they were performed. anyway, mae is a perfect escape band, the music is wonderful for drifting away into your own world. David's voice definitely enhances his lyrics and the music combines in such a way that you're apt to experience a couple spine-tingling moments while you listen--you know, those times when everything just clicks and you think, yeah, that's exactly it. the first experience with that is on This Time is the Last Time, when the melody and different lines start to overlap and build. It hits again in the beginning of Sun, and then at Last Call, because who can resist this lyric: more out of place than anything you know/like an opera at a disco/when all you wanted was a rock show/tonight. then skyline drive, when the band perfectly touches the way we feel when we just want to drive. my favorite song is Soundtrack for Our Movie. At first you think, oh goodness, how cheesy, how typical, but then it grows on you and you realize that's the start of all new relationships. the only way i'd change this cd is switch the last two tracks, because after all the hopefulness and happiness (but it is, of course, rooted in realism, not too much optimism, not fake!) the album ends with Goodbye, Goodnight, which leaves you slightly unsettled and wondering where you stand. good for other albums, other bands, but for this one it should end with Giving it Away, a song about uncertainty but trust and faith. oh yeah, by the way, Mae's a Christian band. didn't know that?Read more ›

This is my current favourite album. Mae has a very hopeful, sometimes whimsical sound, unlike other emo/punk bands out there. Read more
