Black & White- The Maine's New Album

I've been a fan of The Maine since pretty much the beginning. I discovered them on one of my searches for new music and listened to The Way We Talk, thus beginning my appreciation of this band's musical abilities. I remember only listening to CSWS on my ipod when it came out for three straight days. I also remember going to The Soundtrack of Your Summer Tour and catching the last 30 seconds of their set because my friend showed up late... so technically I haven't seen them play live and I still hold that against her (shes lucky I like her). But I will see them one way or another.

Enough complaining, now on to talking about their new album called Black & White that just came out. It is GOOD. I'm obviously biased, but it's an impressive sophomore effort with a more mature sound and equally mature vocals. John O'Callaghan, more commonly known as John Ohh, has a rougher, more gravelly rocker sounding voice in many of the songs and I really like it. You can really hear it in Right Girl (acoustic) where he says "oh god", to which many of the fan girls probably scream at that part, which is understandable in this case.

In conclusion,  Black & White is a great example of a Pop Rock act that can produce songs that not only sound good but on paper display artistic ability and lyrical talent.

With that I leave a pictorial treat...
