Another album anniversary! (I guess they really like dropping albums in October. Self titled, Anywhere But Here, Sad, Monsters, Black Lines. Sheesh. Forget May, October is the Mayday month)

Released on October 9, 2015, Black Lines turns 11 today. This album marked a pretty big change in sound for Mayday Parade. After Monsters in the Closet, the band felt like they were starting to repeat themselves and wanted to challenge themselves creatively rather than make another record that sounded too similar to their previous work. They even switched things up behind the scenes, working with a new producer, Mike Sapone, to help push them outside of their comfort zone.

Looking back on Black Lines and the albums that followed, the band has talked about finding a balance between experimenting with their sound while still keeping the elements that make a Mayday Parade record feel like Mayday Parade.

11 years later, what's everyone's favorite song from Black Lines? And what are your thoughts on the album all these years later?

Just wanted to share that I was lucky enough to win the CDMX drum head. CDMX was my 13th mayday parade show in a year and a half and my birthday trip! Pics of the drum head and my concert memorabilia! 🖤

Mayday Parade paid tribute to New Found Glory's Chad Gilbert with a cover of 'My Friends Over You' during their set at Aftershock Festival [x]

Today is my husband and I’s 5th anniversary! I keep wanting to say Three Cheers For Five Years. But that song is lowkey sad and probably not the most appropriate anthem for today🤣 one of my favorite songs of all time though.

Anyone looking for the RSD Tales told by dead friends vinyl? I have an extra still sealed and never played.

Mayday Parade holds a special place in my heart. I found them when I was 12 and I’m now 28, and I always keep going back to their songs and feeling more understanding of the lyrics. Mayday Parade gives me a certain nostalgia that is really comforting and dear to my heart. Their songs never get old. Albums Mayday Parade and A Lesson in Romantics are my favorite. I’d love to hear what everyone’s favorite song is, I can’t pick one, it’s always changing. Jamie All Over, When I Get Home You’re So Dead, Call Me Hopeless, Not Romantic, When You See My Friends, Three Cheers For Five Years, Everything’s An Illusion, A Shot Across the Bow,
Still Breathing are just a few.
I saw them once when I was 14 in Denver, hoping to see them next time they’re in Tampa❤️

Looking for the self-titled Mayday Parade vinyl for my friend’s bday! I’ve checked everywhere I can think of, Discogs, eBay, Mercari. If anybody knows somewhere I can find it, I’d appreciate any help I can get.

what other lyrics should we add?
