Advantages: Each song could be a single in it's own right

Disadvantages: Early versions of the album are missing Rihanna's feature on 'If I never see your face again'

Following the success and critical acclaim of their first album, Songs about Jane, Maroon 5's follow up, It wont be soon before too long, was sure to come under scrutiny. However, the band delivered, what I believe to be, an even better album. Each song could be a single in it's own right and shows how the band have developed and matured in the couple of years they were absent from the charts. Lead singer Adam Levine's vocals are pleasing to the ear and can dictate both anger on 'Wake up call' seemingly about a cheating partner, and an emotional poignancy on the aptly-named break up song 'Better that we break'. The album features 4 top 10 singles and was number 1 in the UK album chart and the American billboard top 100. With a cross-over rock/pop sound and a consistency of great songs, Maroon 5 perhaps don't get the credit they deserve as one of the greatest bands of this generation.

Summary: A perfect blend of pop and rock, edgy dancier numbers and chilled out ballads.
