Free Music Notes for It Won't Be Soon Before Long
Free Music Review: Blah!
Hit: 2 Stars
I must be getting old but it seems like more and more all you hear is profanity and sexual innuendo in today's music. This CD is dripping with it. Profanity isn't so profane when everyone is using it and using it often. I'm not one that is above swearing like a sailor but I'm getting tired of it in my music. This album doesn't use sexual undertones in the songs. Instead, sexual reference is the heart of many of the songs and the music, itself, seems to have somewhat of a disco quality to it. This CD was good for a listen but seemed to get old very fast and is now collecting dust in my media cabinet. I liked a couple of the songs but I'm happy I received this as a gift and didn't need to spend my own money on it.Free Music Review: C'mon, people...

I have been reading the seemingly vast amount of reviews for this album and it seems that nobody else is litening to the same album I am.
Maroon 5 has been on of my presonal faves for years, and love their sound. I saw them open for John Mayer and their effortless grove blew me away. Needless to say, I was very eager to pick up the new album, but it turned out to be a bit of a disappointment. It seems that both musically and lyrically, they didn't really have anything new to say, so they just tried to recreat SAJ, harder.
I'll admit the grooves statyed tight or got tighter, but just about everything else on the album is so forced, I can barely stand to listen to it. The increased over-production was like an already-pretty girl slathering on way too much makeup. The lyrics were so over-sexualized that I don't even feel comfortable listening to it by myself. The "hooks" sound like "hooks" instead of melodies, and the slower songs are the obvious product of sales strategists amped up on 'She Will Be Loved".
One more thing. Fans of The Police should feel insulted, at the very least. Sting probably lost sleep after hearing this one. There are so many blatant, poorly-recreated Police imitations that I had to go back to Synchronicity and set myself right.
Sorry all you positive reviewers, I wish the album had been a suitable follow-up, but it was a contrived effort at best. I may spin a few of the singles, but the album was a letdown. Let's get 'em next time, boys.

One of the benefits of Satellite radio is that I have been exposed to music I would never have heard otherwise. After hearing Its not over tonight, I immediately logged into Amazon to buy this CD. I am sure I do not fit the profile for people who liked and purchased the first CD (SAJ). However, for a group to be more than a one-hit-wonder its has to appeal to many people and many listener profiles.
As an old Southern Rocker / 80s POP kid I am lovin' this CD. Hey, for 10 bucks how wrong can you go? If you find just one song to like, you win. Personally I found 4 maybe 5 songs to wear out.
Free Music Review: What a GREAT album!
Hit: 5 Stars
Maroon 5 emerged on to the pop scene in the early 00's with their megahit "This Love." They made lots of fans with that song and who knew they would become so famous? Well Maroon 5 didn't dissapoint their fans because their latest hit "Makes Me Wonder" went all the way to number one on the Billboard Hot 100! It's a great song and shows the bands ability to mix pop with soul and funk. The rest of this album is pretty good too. I'd call it a solid effort from Adam Levine and company. I'll always be a Maroon 5 fan whether it's listening to them in the car or in the club (yes, they played them in the club too!). "Makes Me Wonder" is one of my all time favorites now too. Their most recent hit "Wake Up Call" is also pretty good. If you were thinking about purchasing this album DO IT! You'll be surprised at how good this is!Free Music Review: Love it

I love this album. This is the first time I have brought a Maroon 5 album, but I liked the second song that they were playing on the tv. I love this CD, its only 1 or 2 songs that I don't really care for, but they aren't that bad! I would recommend this to someone who likes feel good music!
