You can't beat this CD!! This CD has slow and fast songs. There is two or three bad words but it is worth the price!!
July 29, 2008 |  | Sounds Like a New Version of Jackson 5 |  |
I don't follow this band, but I was listening to the newest cd and alot of the tracks sound like a newer version of a cd put out by Jackson 5. Like a 2000 version of the Victory cd. Especially the tracks - Make Me Wonder and Kiwi. Most all of those songs have the a bit of that sound. Well, maybe they did pull from the past. Jackson 5 -- Now Maroon 5. Sounds good though.
July 9, 2008This CD sounds nothing like songs about jane, probably because the band switched their drummer due to permant injuries. I do think this is a great album though. Both of their albums are great and very different. I think Adams voice is just as good as ever. This Cd has more of a funky sound then their last one. If you want to hear songs about jane 2 don't expect it from this cd. If you like funk, alternative, rock, pop and soul then this is a good cd for you.
July 9, 2008I really enjoyed Maroon 5's debut and the diversity of the songs and, of course, Adam's voice is to die for. When "Makes Me Wonder" came out, it was a very fun song and sound for them. When I bought the release, though, I was disappointed that the diversity was thrown out the window for songs that all sounded the same to me. Not to mention this CD is so overly produced it makes me want to barf. Just not my cup of tea. I find the songs to be weak, bland, over-produced, and unoriginal. I didn't mind "Wake Up Call", but it got old to me fast. "Won't Go Home Without You" is alright, but again - very bland pop. "Goodnight Goodnight" is alright, but the lyrics are so cheesy. The only other song I don't mind listening to repeatedly, aside from "Makes Me Wonder" is "If I Never See Your Face Again", but not the original version, I like the new Rihanna version.
Now I'll admit I don't care much for pop music, but this band really had something special with its debut, and now it's been thrown away for bland commercialism and cheesy lyrics. Hugely disappointing CD. And, no, I wasn't wanting "Something About Jane Part 2" either. I just hope they bounce back with a better release next time. The first few listens of the CD I kept thinking these were the lost tracks that were left off of Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall" release. hehe... Blah!!

This album is simply fantastic. The songs are all at once heartbreaking, sensual, and desirous. It's definately one of my favorites.
