Mae Selects Producer

[Jared Kaufman]

Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Saosin) will be producing Mae (http://www.absolutepunk.net/mae)'s third full-length, Capitol Records debut. The band will start recording the follow-up to The Everglow in three weeks.

[richtiemann]

I've been seeing his name a lot lately. Here's hoping they make a good follow-up to the Everglow. It's going to be a tough record to follow.

[hubbabubbal3ts]

i hope i like this one more than the everglow. i don't know, i just couldn't get into it.

I can't wait to hear new Mae.

[Jared Kaufman]

i find it extremely odd that the band decided to go with him.
but i'm sure they know what they're doing so i'll wait and see while having faith.

[tacosforcharles]

Sweet. I'm soooo pumped for this album. And you know what, I'm not all that concerned with which producer they picked. The guys of Mae are very very smart guys, and the producer will probably be taking more of a back seat for making the record. You know, just make sure they're doing everything right and fine tuning things a bit. It'll be a great record, of this I'm sure.

[Jason Tate]

I've been seeing his name a lot lately. Here's hoping they make a good follow-up to the Everglow. It's going to be a tough record to follow.

Why? Just because Aladdin 2 didn't do as well as Aladdin, doesn't mean the band will suffer the same fate.

I want another album like Destination: Beautiful - not The Everglow.

Labels stick with what's selling - that's why Benson and Squire keep getting albums.

big shoes to fill, big shoes indeed.

yeah, i mean, that makes sense.
also, as someone just mentioned, relient k probably had some influence on them.
but i just think they should've went with gil norton.

[jeremyfromva]

I saw that there other choices were Gil Norton and Brendan O Brien....

[jeremyfromva]

yeah, i mean, that makes sense.

Exactly Mae and Relient K are good friends and that makes sense since Relient K just finished recording with him.

Jason have you heard the song Crazy 8's yet live or whatever? If so what is your first impression?

I'll disregard the first remark....simply because you listen to The Matches......and what else really needs to be said? :shrugs:

But I would also like their new album to be similar to DB, but it won't happen.

[chokeychicken]

i think i'm the only person who's just not a fan of mae.

[CurtyB]

he did an amazing job polishing up saosin's stuff. i'm excited to see what he'll do w mae. and i second jason..i want another destination not another everglow

[jhennis]

can't wait for this album

[mdarket]

I didn't know Mae was on Capitol now. But, I'm really excited for this release. They are one of my favorite current bands.

[boldt_action]

yup, i agree, i don't think they'll go back to a D:B sound.

I'm curious to see how it will turn out. I wasn't necessarily dissapointed with The Everglow, it just didn't grab me the way Destination: Beautiful had.

We would do well to not forget Saosin should be on that list. Also, despite how awful Hoobastank has become, the production on those records has been pretty solid.

[gordonLightfoot]

I wasn't necessarily dissapointed with The Everglow, it just didn't grab me the way Destination: Beautiful had.

I liked the Everglow more than D:B, though granted I the Everglow was my first exposure to them. Live, the Everglow material is better than D:B, but hey, personal opinion. Theres nothing like MAE opening with "Someone else's Arms."

I think Mae is a decent studio band, but let's be honest. Live, they are kind of a snoozefest.

[squared82]

Mike Townsend also helped out on Relient K's new CD.
Mark Townsend my friend.

Anywho, I'm real excited for some new Mae. I'm sure it'll be a sweet progression from The Everglow.

[w00t_man]

I think Mae is a decent studio band, but let's be honest. Live, they are kind of a snoozefest.
I dunno what Mae show's you've been to, but i have to disagree. They are one of the better live bands i've seen lately.

I still say they should've gone with Mark Hoppus. But Benson does make some pretty good stuff.

I saw them open up for Motion City Soundtrack, Rufio, and Fall Out Boy a few years back and then I saw them headline with Lovedrug last fall. I think they are a tight band musically, but I think their sound overall just wears thin after a while.

[Chriz2z]

I can't wait. It's been too long since The Everglow. I listened to it last night.

[musicalxchaos]

I think Mae is a decent studio band, but let's be honest. Live, they are kind of a snoozefest.

definitely in agreement with you there.

i'll repeat what's been said already, just for the sake of it -- I'd love for their sound to go back to that of D:B, but I also don't think it will. I couldn't really get into the Everglow as much as I did D:B - that CD didn't leave my CD player for months after its release.

[SLADE775]

We would surely be much better with you on staff. I have often said we need some 3rd grade wit and borderline illiterate spelling skills on our team.

Go back to the General Forum where kids still sort of respect your idiotic ramblings and horrible taste in music, movies, and anything else you lend your opinion toward.

[BlinkFoundMSU]

'bout damn time! i was talking producers with Dave at MSU in February. Howard Benson's name didn't come up though.

this album is gonna rock. crazy 8's live is incredible

Mark Townsend my friend.

Anywho, I'm real excited for some new Mae. I'm sure it'll be a sweet progression from The Everglow.


OOPS on the name.

[waggy]

could never get into the everglow, but i like destination: beautiful quite a bit. so like most people here, i'd like to see them go back to that sound, but i doubt it'll happen. everglow is closer to what's selling big these days.

[jeremyfromva]

off topic kinda but Howard Benson produced Saosin

Saosin is 5.99 at Best Buy tomorrow. No excuse not to buy it

That's out of context.

And you should always strive to be somewhat original. Especially when you're a staff member on a respected music site.

And hey, I pull those gloves off all the time over many issues....of course you'll go ahead and pigeon-hole me when it's convenient now won't you.

[shes.a.ghost]

Mae is a great band. I don't think they do anything very exciting live, but I don't really think they need to. If they started doing jump kicks and swinging thier guitars over thier backs I think it would look very silly considering thier music is alternative at the hardest... when I go to see Mae I just go to be able to sing along and appreciate great musicianship, not to watch them do backflips or whatever else people expect a band in this scene to do.

If they started doing jump kicks and swinging thier guitars over thier backs I think it would look very silly considering thier music is alternative at the hardest... when I go to see Mae I just go to be able to sing along and appreciate great musicianship, not to watch them do backflips or whatever else people expect a band in this scene to do.

well said.

Wait, I thought we ignore people with less than 5,000 posts?


Not if they agree with me. :bigwink:

mae is the worst live band i have ever seen. absolutely boring.
there's more to music than jumping around, acting all stupid, and licking your guitar.

[irishpunk14]

Sweet.

[radxbandit]

yeah, i mean, that makes sense.
also, as someone just mentioned, relient k probably had some influence on them.
but i just think they should've went with gil norton.

well i think it comes down to who they interact with the best...

yeah but their singer has trouble holding his notes live, musically they're pretty badass though.

[Shatter_Glass]

way to play is safe mae, way to play it safe.

[tragedyco]

i'm so stoked for this.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

i'm anxious to hear new stuff.

[*crying stars*]

mae makes me smile like :D .

i've heard that he's gotten better at it, though.

the singer cant hold a note live. they are all passionless and lifeless on stage. they dont look like they ever want to be there. that doesnt deserve my attention or money.

the only reason i ever payed attention to them is because zach played in one of my favorite bands of all time - unsung zeros.

[PomonaForEmpusa]

he suprisingly did a good job with Saosin, while i was expecting just about any big-league producer to butcher them.

[hipvstreetteam]

from what i hear the band said they are going alot harder with this one i am intersted in hearing what they sounds like they are also playin a show oct 12 in biola hope they play some new stuff

They played a new song called Crazy 8's on the summer tour.

All of Mae's stuff is excellent IMO. Great Band and I'm definately looking forward to this..Embers and Envelopes is one of my all time favorites..

[Zeran]

Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Saosin) will be producing Mae (http://www.absolutepunk.net/mae)'s third full-length, Capitol Records debut. The band will start recording the follow-up to The Everglow in three weeks.

noooooooo

[CLARIFY THIS]

I like Mae

[TheWeakest]

i loved both albums..i don't care what direction they go in.i'm sure i won't be dissapointed

[eversoinviting]

sweet, mae is freaking amazing

[TheBaroness]

their last album died on me very quickly. Hope the new one is better.

[Chris Fallon]

THAT'S the name I was looking for! I was thinking of who I think Mae would sound good with, and he was who I was trying to think of!

Regardless, Howard Benson has had his hand in many, many cookie jars - and while not all of the cookies tasted delicious, it was well-worth the grab.

worst analogy ever

[weworemasks]

i think i'm the only person who's just not a fan of mae.

im definately not.
Yes, because originality was my main goal with that comment.

We would surely be much better with you on staff. I have often said we need some 3rd grade wit and borderline illiterate spelling skills on our team.

I love how it is cool for you to say whatever you want about bands, but when someone downtalks your precious Mae, then it is gloves off. Grow up, dude.
bravo.
