You can't go wrong with the other two albums, but my personal favorite is last year's Board Up The House.

Maylene definitely has a good guitarist, but I don't really look at them as a metalcore band. They have the occasional breakdown or hardcore punk rhythm, but they just sound like a straight-up southern metal band.

Hmm, I agree that they aren't the typical metalcore band, but they definately have roots in there. In my eyes they were at the helm of the southern metal/ metalcore shift that took place 3-4 years ago. But i suppose it's in the gray area.

P.S. Maylene was cooler when they had 3 guitarists.

Yeah, the only original members now are Dallas Taylor and Roman Havaland, right?

That is in fact correct. Which is unfortunate. I really like Lee Turner as a drummer. Of course Collum and Josh Cornutt are missed as well. This sort of thing happens to all great bands... It's a sad sad thing.

Dave Knudson from Botch, without a doubt.

Brett Detar and Russ Cogdell from Zao. I mean they are like Lewis and Clark of metalcore.
