Editorial Reviews

The Maine formed in 2007 and through MySpace promotion, played their first gig in front of over 600 fans. Their first EP, "The Way We Talk", made the Hot Shot Debut on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart at #10. All this was accomplished with Internet buzz and before they had even performed outside their home state of Arizona. This release is a perfect blend of heartfelt lyrics, driving drums, and ridiculously catchy hooks. Look for them on tour this summer with Boys Like Girls/Good Charlotte and this fall with All Time Low/Mayday Parade.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Catchy, So Good, July 9, 2008

This review is from: Can't Stop Won't Stop (Audio CD)

Who doesn't love the Maine? Ever since they started putting demos on their Myspace page this band has blown up exponentially. The get more and more popular practically hour by hour. Their songs are ridiculously catchy and the lyrics are universal. What's not to like?

Their two previous EPs (Stay Up, Get Down and The Way We Talk) were amazing. Can't Stop, Won't Stop is just a continuation, and it just keeps getting better. All the tracks are catchy enough to be singles. If you listen close, the songs and the way they fit together tell a story. There are lyrics about being in love but still feeling awful ("Everything I Ask For"), being in love and feeling great ("I Must Be Dreaming"), breaking up and feeling awful ("You Left Me"), breaking up and feeling great ("This is the End"), and everything in between. There are also a few songs that go beyond the relationship theme and just talk about being young and enjoying life. With songs like "Whoever She Is" and "We'll All Be" you can tell the Maine's real message is just about loving your friends, loving life, and having a good time. They never slow down, and every song has its own fast-paced rhythms and upbeat melodies.

The best songs on the album are by far "Everything I Ask For" and "I Must Be Dreaming", which is basically the title track. But every song is great--no filler, nothing you'll want to skip. The songs are all attention-grabbers and perfectly arranged. The songs are so good that by the end you'll still feel like it's just started, leaving you not knowing what hit you and pressing the repeat button over and over.

The Maine is going to be the next big band (if they aren't already) in the new pop/punk/electronic/emo/dance genre that is making itself up as it goes along. What a great album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Stop, Won't Stop Listening to The Maine, November 5, 2008

This album blew me away when I first heard it. Now I can't stop listening to it, and when I'm not listening to it, I have it stuck in my head. By far one of the best bands/albums in my music collection. I've been a fan since their EPs, and they've just been getting better. Here's a quick run down of songs that stuck/still stick out at me:
"Everything I Ask For"-Great way to open the album, get everyone dancing.

"Girls Do What They Want"-The lyrics are so fun and, again, great for dancing.

"I Must Be Dreaming"-Basically the title track: "Tell me that you love me/and it'll be alright/Are you thinking of me?/just come to me tonight/You know I need you just like you need me/Can't stop, won't stop, I must be dreaming".

"Count 'Em One, Two, Three"-A song off their EP The Way We Talk. My favorite off the EP. I'm so glad they put it on their album.

"You Left Me"-This has to be my favorite song, not only for the lyrics (which are amazing) but the music. This song sounds so different from all the other ones, different in a good way, which makes it that much more amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good band. Great album., May 25, 2011

I bought this album as a gift to my friend. It's not available in our country, so she's crazy about owning her favorite album by her favorite band.
But we both love this band, and I really enjoy how fun their lyrics are.

It's a very good band, and I'm probably going to buy another "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" soon, and this next one will be mine ;)

Oh, and I can't stop dancing while listening to 'Everything I Ask For', 'Girls Do What They Want', and 'I Must Be Dreaming'. This last one is amazing. I'm going crazy with it right now.
