their first album, didnt appeal to me, but everyone deserves a second chance, and so i brought our earthly pleasures.. and i must say how they have shocked me.. i am in love with nearly all of the tracks!

the first album shits all over the second album.

I love Books from Boxes though (basically because the music IS the Smiths), By the Monument and Our Velocity, the others are just ok.

Thankfully I think (and hope) there is much more to come from this band.

I was going to creat a thread about Maximo but instead i shall bump this thread:D.

I love Maximo to bits! Certainly the best new band around. Both thier albums are great!. I slighty prefer the first one though.
I just bought tickets to see them in Edinburgh. I am well chuffed:D

I really love both albums, and seing them live last year was a blast.
I'd really like a link to a soundboard bootleg...

If anyone is interested:

“It sounds,” grins Paul Smith, on Maximo Park’s glorious second album, Our Earthly Pleasures, “like Smashing Pumpkins crossed with The Smiths.”

Surely there must be more people on here who love this band as much as i do.
Maximo are under-rated

Becuase i want to spread the joy :D:

I do like them, but Paul Smith reminds me of a younger version of "Rigsby" from 70's sitcom "Rising Damp".

Thanks, all. I watched that clip and I’m intrigued. I like their sound and the singer is very charismatic. If they’re “a mix of the Pumpkins & the Smiths”, I’m definitely checking them out, esp. their 1st album.

Their live show is prolly thee most entergetic I've ever been to.

There first album is amazing! The last song "Kiss you better" is increable proberally my fave. "I want you to stay" and "The coast is always changing" are other greats one to look out for on that album;). Although the album is great:D.

I have seen them twice live and they were increable.... bring on August when they come to Edinburgh:D:guitar:.

I decided to bump this thread as I am listening to them right now for the first time I am really enjoying it. The lyrics are really good and the songs are catchy. Musically I enjoy "Your Urge" the best so far. Thanks to my pal who gave me the album.

Questing not coasting is such a beautiful song.
Cloud of mystery is excellent as well.

US Tour in the Fall..Philadelphia - World Cafe Live - September 24th :guitar:

I want the damn new album to leak, c'mon already! Haha.

If anyone is interested:

“It sounds,” grins Paul Smith, on Maximo Park’s glorious second album, Our Earthly Pleasures, “like Smashing Pumpkins crossed with The Smiths.”

No. It doesn't. Because that would sound good..! (Sorry, I couldn't resist..)

Okay, I have had one listen ( found it) and so far, so good.A really solid effort. I will add more after a couple more listens.

I like it..But imho, if you've heard one Maximo record you've heard them all.

True, you know what you are getting with any Maximo album.I am okay with that.

Found it on Myspace.
Wonderful.

well, new album is amazing!

"Let's get Clinical!"

Everyone should buy this album! Or i might buy 100000 copies and hand them out to people so people can hear some decent music.

WHAT!!!!
I didn't know Thank you:D! That's made my day.
Should be a good day i have an exam in the morning but if i get to meet maximo again and see them it will be good:D!

If anyone is interested the tickets for their October tour go on sale tomorrow:

7th October Glasgow Barrowlands
8th October Manchester Apollo
9th October London Royal Albert hall

I got my tickets from the presale, i must say i am most excited about the Albert hall:D.

Watched them twice last weekend at Glastonbury. Once in the Queens Head and on the Other Stage. I have to say they are one of the better contemporary bands labelled in the ' indie' bracket.

WHAT!!!!
I didn't know Thank you:D! That's made my day.

Oops, I didn't see this.

:) That's lovely, I'm glad to be of help.

I've seen them in France in a really small place, it was just great.
A little disappointed they didn't play "Calm", the song from QTH I like the most.

I'd love to have a soundboard recordings their different tours...would you have any ?

I'll try to convert the QTH bonus DVD to MP3...

Oops, I didn't see this.

:) That's lovely, I'm glad to be of help.

And i just seen this.

It was amazing Paul reconised me and wrote " Thank you " on my record:D.
Are you going to see them in Manchester?
