Amazonレビュー
2003年2月にヴァージニア・ビーチは魅力ある4人組のメイを世界に紹介した。デビュー・アルバムの『Destination: Beautiful』が瞬く間にオーディエンスの心を捉えただけでなく、彼らのライヴも、過去の売れ線狙いで書かれた曲たちを凌ぐ才能を証明した。そして2年間に及ぶノンストップのツアーと総計15万枚のアルバム・セールスをステップとして、メイは大きな期待が寄せられていたセカンド・アルバム『The Everglow』をリリース。説得力のある内省的な歌詞、見事に進化した音楽的センスの両者で申し分のない仕上がりのアルバムとなり、メイはここ数年の注目株である理由をきっちり証明している!

レビューのフィルタリング中に問題が発生しました。後でもう一度試してください。
ただ一人になりたいと、思ってました。
そしてある日、自分から一人になったのにものすごく孤独になり寂しく、そしてもう生きていけないような 絶望感におそわれました。
そして何か音楽を聞こうと思い、Maeに出会いました。
The sun and the moonという曲で、心に嘘がつけなくなりました。 自然と涙がでてきて、今まで出会った大切な人が頭の中に現れてきました。
もっと大切にすればよかった、そんな後悔や悲しさが、僕を苦しめて、だけど何か大事なことに気づけたような気がしました。
人生は一回、だったらもっと人を信じてみてもいいのではないのかと。たとえ裏切れても。
このアルバムは愛のつまった一つの物語のように感じました。
その後、DreamState,WakingAshland,Copeland,Jacks...あたりを聴き込んで、さあいよいよThe Everglow!
エモに食傷気味だった私ですが、MaeはEMO一般のサウンドとは一線を画しているようですね。
アルバムバンドというか、アルバム単位で聴かせることに長けているような気がします。
このアルバムも(m)orningほどではないにしても十分コンセプチュアル。
また、歌いまわし、ギターのリフ、メロディライン、ドラムライン、ベースライン、曲の組み立てに、
一捻りも二捻りも考えられたアイデアが加えてあり、とてもプログレチックで独創的。
EMOと言われるバンドの中では異彩を放ってますね。
バンドメンバー全員かなり音楽的に凝り性のようです(笑)。
以上に加え、何よりアルバム全体がドラマティックかつエモーショナル!!
どんなに凝りまくろうと良い曲でなければ意味がない!とばかりに次から次に良いメロディが溢れてきます。
それにピアノの旋律が切ないメロディをより一層引き立てていて心地よい。
(m)orningにはほとんどピアノ入ってなかったので新鮮に感じました!
これは超ヘビーローテーションに足るアルバムでしょう!
ただ、これといって飛び抜けた曲がないってのは確かかな?
2005年はEMO大豊作の年だったようですね。
リアルタイムでその空気を感じたかったな。
でも、ジャケ買いして正解でした。
今でも良く聞くんですが、そのたびに新鮮な感覚が湧き上がってきます。
このアルバムのいいところは歌詞カードがよく作りこまれていて絵本みたいになっていることです。
一人の少年の成長を描いている感じでしょうか。(あくまで主観ですが)
絵を見ながら曲を聴くと想像力が掻き立てられて面白いですよ。
楽曲はメロディアスなロックが多いですが、ピアノメインのしっとりしたものもあります。
どの楽曲も透明感のある感じが◎
何処となくJack's Mannequinのような感じをかもし出してます。
Jack's Mannequin好きな人はぜひ聞いてみてください。
maeといえば毎回ジャケットのアートが話題ですが、今回は歌と絵でひとつの物語を読み進めていくような感じになっています。
B-Sidesの2曲目「suspension」(名曲!)が別バージョンで収録されていたり、maeならではの駆け抜けるようなキラキラ感やしっとり感は健在です☆
けれどもそれに加えて、今までよりひとまわりもふたまわりも大きく成長した彼等を感じられると思います。
それぞれの曲が、単体でもモチロン素敵なんですが…ひとつの物語として聴くからこそ、より感情移入できるのだと思います。
このアルバムはぜひ「特別どの曲が良い!」とかいうよりは、全体を通してひとつの作品として聴いていただきたいなぁ…と私は思います。
日本でLIVEが観てみたいです☆

3) Someone Else's Arms - "I've got a feeling It's not the safest place to start. This heavy breathing, it seems we're better off breaking hearts." He knows they are lusting after each other and want more. Should they really break each others hearts rather than give in? "I just want to wake up, wake up in someone else's arms "
4) "Suspension" is the fourth song (counting the prolog) where he says he's not scared and he's ready to do it, but knowing what this means he makes it obvious he wants the girl also to realize what they're about to do: "Say anything, but say what you mean. When you whisper you want this." - Separation from him and God.
5) "This is the Countdown": There in they' did it. I picture this the day after. The whole conversation is him and the girl thinking about what they did their previous dilemma with doing it and the rationalization: "Did you think that the night would posses us, Take us over like the rain that's falling down?" "I can see the signs, and I can read between the lines. But I don't know what we were fighting for, I'm just trying, to breakout." Yet he later mentions they're stuck treading water.
6) "Painless" is about the experience. He's just trying to "wring the color from the grey" "just one more chance to get away" He tries to make himself happy or fulfilled with this relationship "one more night is all he needs" "Until this empty place is filled, I'll keep pretending." All great lines from that song.
7) "The Ocean" is next and reality is setting in. He can't sleep at night and spends his thoughts trying figure it out:
" the night becomes the space that's somewhere in between what I feel and what I'm told. Sitting on the shoreline trying to figure it out, figure it out. To find out the meaning and reach it somehow."
8) "Breakdown" is where he knows the Breakdown is going to come. If you want something you can have it. God won't stop us we have free will. So he does what he wants but soon realizes this relationship is not going to fulfill him anymore than anything else of this world will and he knows that it will soon "Breakdown" It's great. One verse will talk about how he can't wait to be with her again then the next will be "I'm waiting for the breakdown (here comes the breakdown)" - he's addicted. "So take care what you wish for, for it may come true. But that September sky, how it whispered, "I love you." But I couldn't take it, any longer, no I couldn't stand. But the night brought sparks and the sparks brought flames. And you had to be sure this wasn't one of those games."
9) And Breakdown comes... "Mistakes We Knew We Were Making" She gets pregnant and then the blinders come off. This is real.
Driving in the rain to the hospital, quiet aches intense, what at once just seemed the impossible, now makes perfect sense. we held hands to face the uncomfortable cold, and lonely room.
10) "Cover ME". This used to be my least favorite song, but now that I know what it's about, I realize it's a perfect display of the confusion, regret, painful realization and feeling of helplessness... that is appropriate for this part in the story:
"This is the last breath I, I think I'll ever take. this is the last move I , I think I'll ever make. Will there be a chance now to figure this out? And be free tonight. But the music's much too loud, To hear this alarm sound. Too loud, will you cover me? But the emptiness I've found, Can't keep me on the ground."
11) " The EverGlow". In a moment of silence above the din, he looks to the sky and says:
"Here's a night, and it shines. And it calls us on and on. So be here by my side, and watch the stars. They're ours. Make a wish or just take charge. The moment comes get lost and go far. I think that we've got what it takes, to get this heart start beating again."
12) "Ready and Waiting to Fall" He's ready to come back to God. It's amazing how he equates coming back to drowning. He doesn't want anyone to throw him a line because he knows he has to be in 100% or he'll be tied back to the worldly actions lusts and desires etc that got him in this in the first place:
"Though it was a while ago I still can recall That moment, so ready And waiting to fall Can you take me back in time Remembering when You captured my heart" When God was all he knew "Heaven made sense And all the words rhymed No chance in stopping now I'm taking it all" he's going back to putting his faith and direction back in God where everything made sense.
13) "Anything" He's back and acknowledges that "Love is the wave I ride" and that being with God is definitely a ride it's not easy, but "every now and again sometimes I get lost on the wind of a dream.
the air gets clean and the seas get wide. and I can do anything. the pain it won't even cross my mind. there is wonder in everything. the rope gets loose and the chains unbind."
14) "The Sun and the Moon" He thinks back on the past journey he was on:
"wasted time. I can not say that I was ready for this. but when worlds collide, and all that I have is all that I want. the words seem to flow and the thoughts they keep running. and all that I have is Yours. all that I am is Yours."
A journey of sin and redemption. Amazing story from an amazing group.
It was worth it.
I first listened to this CD all the way through, following along in the booklet (because I'm a real sucker for concept albums). After that listen I would have agreed that while beautiful, moving, and relatable, most of the songs on the album kind of melded together.
Then over the next few days I found myself singing little snippets of different songs from the album that I didn't even realized I had picked up. I listened to it a few more times and it's safe to say I am now hooked. The music is complex and emotional, without being pretentious. It's like Relient K minus a couple of guitars, and plus one piano and some depth. Actually I've heard tracks that remind me of The Format and even Ben Folds. It's a gorgeous album. Relaxing and uplifting, while still delightfully emo.
I think it's really telling that most of the reviewers have pegged different songs as favorites. This album has a lot to offer, not just a few cheap formulaic singles. I'm personally partial to "The Ocean", "The Sun and the Moon" (despite some puzzling and cheesy lyrics), and especially "Anything". "Suspension" was an early favorite, and probably the most radio-friendly single.
Overall, I'd say while at first listen this album might sound repetitive, that is just because the band realized their concept so very well. The album is both cohesive and subtly varied. A story from beginning to end, and a musical treasure that I cherish.
It didn't take long for me to see how much they continue to grow as musicians/lyricists and just in their everyday lives and how it's incorporated into this record. Each song on this one is a continuing chapter to the previous one. You already know that they bring great emotion to each song that they sing and this is know different. With solid vocals and a all around excellent performance. The Everglow is another notch in the belt of a talented and still grow band. I look forward to the rest of the ride and plan on being their with Mae regardless of who leaves or comes in the band.
Mae will always be one of my favorite bands out there, represent and give this one a listen. It's not just for fans of Mae, but anyone that's looking for something a little different. But still enjoyable to listen and relax to. This one is it.
