after having heard so much about Mae. i decided it was time for me to take a listen to this bad and see what all the noise is about. Of course i'm glad that i did with their own sound and way of writing wonderful songs that you feel all throughout the song. Mae is totally a band that is a force to reckon with no labels necessary. A few of my favorite songs on the cd include "Skyline Drive", "Soundtrack For Our Movie", "Runaway", "This Time Is The Last Time" and "Last Call". I can't help but be excited by what they will do in the future. It is wide open and i know that i want to be there to enjoy each and every single moment of Mae and their music.
Enjoy.

I love Mae, so I appreciate anything they put out. However, I think I prefer "The Everglow" a bit more than this album. But with that said, "Embers and Envelopes" makes me smile and sing along each time it pops up in my play list.

So I WILL say that Mae is my favorite band and they're not the same. This has been in my top 10 most played list on my iPod for over 2 years now. They are far more musically tight than any other "emo" band I've heard. And I've heard a few. I would buy this CD twice, I loved it so much. I'm definitely not emo--even remotely, but Mae takes the cake. Combining matters of life with matters of love, their lyrics are simple, yet deep.

If this band makes you feel depressed, get a prescription for Prozac, buy some clothes with colours and get some exercise. Flip.

I came across Mae some months ago as I was searching for new bands to listen to here in Amazon, and I've read a lot of positive feedback regarding the band so I quickly wrote them under my list of bands I wanted to check out (and I also saw that their CD cover was really nice... I admit it was one of the reasons why I was drawn to this CD). Fortunately, my friend had a CD of Destination: Beautiful and I got so excited that I listened to it right away.

After hearing some of the tracks, I quickly understood why this collected a lot of high ratings from people. Mae's songs are lyrically and musically beautiful. For me, there is a certain magic to their words and the notes and phrases fit just right, and the music itself captures the essence of the lyrics. The vocals are also soothing as it will make you think and daydream of good things. They have catchy lyrics and catchy tones put together... such a blessing for any music lover. It won't be long until you find yourself alone singing to their tunes. It won't be long until you find yourself alone just wanting to hear their songs, or a part of their song. Their songs have that certain thing that makes them remain in you no matter how long it's been.

Some songs that I really find nice in this album are All Deliberate Speed, Summertime, Giving it Away, Sun, and the very musically addictive Soundtrack for Our Movie. All of their songs have the same great quality, but some just stand out. If you're looking for CD's to check out, put Mae's Destination: Beautiful in your list now!

Honestly, when I first picked up this cd I liked rwo songs on it: "Embers and Envelopes" and "All Deliberate Speed". The rest were just boring. But one day it just clicked. Now I think this cd is wonderful. The songs just have a clean and crisp sound that remind you of spring weather. The singer's voice is soft and easy to listen to. Nicely written lyrics, too. I recommend this!

Stand out tracks:
Embers and Envelopes
All Deliberate Speed
Last Call
Goodbye Goodnight
