mei is the sixth full-length studio album by the American rock band Echolyn, released in 2002.

Contents

Unlike its precursor Cowboy Poems Free (2000), mei is a typical progressive (symphonic) rock album in that it consists of few, longer, songs with many instrumental sections and complex structures instead of the normal song structure, including verse, chorus etc.
