Maroon 5 are, and have been one of my favourite bands for quite a while now. I first began to like them because of the album "songs about Jane", and I couldn't wait for this album. I wasn't let down. I know that this album is a good few years old now, but I can't help but review it, I love it and even if I only persuade 1 person to buy it because of this, it will have been a success.
One of my favourite aspects of the album is the way that there is such a diverse mix of songs to choose from. There are more slow, reflectful ones, like goodnight goodnight, and then a fantastic one to give you an adrenaline boost comes out of nowhere (Can't stop!). I think that the band really got the right mix of the right types of songs in here, and the right amounts too.
Then there is the feelings which the album as a whole gives you. Any album can make you think, but only the special ones, this one included, have the ability to completely change your mood, even hours after listening to the last song from it. The lyrics are superb and the theme and tune of the song seems to fit in with them perfectly, creating a very catchy but clever bunch of songs, all throw in there together.
To end on then, this album may be old now, but my god it's worth a listen in you can spare just a few pounds on it now (can't be much) and it will provide hours of listening, even if you are not someone who would regard themselves as a fan. But this album, you will not be disappointed!
