Free Music Notes for It Won't Be Soon Before Long
Free Music Review: slam dunk!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
yes, yes, i know the debut was better but i love this album........it's fresh and has a good mix of lyrical moods and a wide spectra of tempos. it's not a love at first listen album but it's a cult classic after a few. i think we need to accept that debuts come after 10 years of drafts and sophmore material is always playing catch up. i feel my money was well spent on this album.....it's a real keeper.Free Music Review: Still as catchy as ever
Hit: 4 Stars
It's a little more gloomy than Songs about Jane, sort of a "break up album." But Maroon 5 doesn't stray away from hooks that made their first album so enjoyable. It's not groundbreaking but still catchy as ever. You can't help but love it.Free Music Review: Okay...
Hit: 3 Stars

This album from Maroon 5 landed on the planet with all the obligatory negative laurels of any sophomoric effort...except that it's excellent.
It's also well-composed, expertly produced, and uncommonly symphonic.
Adam Levine has a voice that is to be loved or hated.
Like Brad Roberts of the Crash Test Dummies, falling in love with - and for some, getting past - the voice grants the primer to the musical labyrinth.
It is what I call, "Headphone Music".
The subtleties, nuances, and flourishes are best heard upon close-inspection.
The recurring crotale-tone in "Little of your time" - a Perfect 5th above the tonal center of the song, ringing within phrases while gently reminding that its symmetry is purposefully asymmetrical - is only one example.
Lyrically there isn't much (for me) to say. Unlike many bands, every syllable has been supplied - even the background vocals and lead repetitions - within the liner notes if you can muster up the 14 bucks to buy it fairly.
I bought it twice.
Like The Godfather part I, this album possesses the best and practically extinct X-factor: Replay Value.
In 1997, Faith No More released an album entitled, album of the year.
A great and clever title for an album it was...I own it...and even the most pedestrian should know of Mike Patton's gumption, weirdness, and his compositional prowess.
Although a decade has passed and there are only a few months left in 2007, this Maroon 5 offering (sorry, Mike) is the Album of the Year.
