It Won't Be Soon Before Long - Maroon 5

...have them getting funky with it to remind you of why you probably liked them when they broke through into the game back in 2002 (as Maroon 5 – as opposed to when they were known as Kara’s Flowers). It is a big tune to get thing going, and you are bound to like it if you were into the up-tempo tracks from their debut. **Four Stars** 2. “Makes Me Wonder” This was the lead single from the album, and this, more than many other song by them finds them ...
...been taken into this decade. It is a killer song, and had them return back to top form after waiting a good five years for new material. **Five Stars** 3. “Little Of Your Time” This song is a short one, yet in just over two minutes you are drawn in by the catchiness of this song immediately. This one has them showing how well-developed their skills at constructing songs is, to a degree where they know exactly what they need to do to excite the listeners ...

Review of It Won't Be Soon Before Long - Maroon 5

...their sound when they reformed. It was in 2001 that the four finally got back together as a band once more and started to play again, bringing new member James Valentine into the band and changing their name to Maroon 5. Maroon 5 released their debut 'Songs About Jane' back in 2002, however it wasn't until 2004 that the album really started to take off. 5 years on from the release of their album of break up anthems and their sound has developed ...
...the duration of the album it is predominantly a fairly enjoyable listen. In my eyes however; the definition of a great album is one that leaves a lasting impression on you, which of course this doesn't. Having said this I mustn't be too negative as the album does provide some entertainment and enjoyment, albeit soon forgotten. 'Won't Go Home Without You' is reminiscent of 'She Will Be Loved' in its intro, but other than this initial buzz is devoid ...

Review of It Won't Be Soon Before Long - Maroon 5

...and his then girlfriend. Whatever it was, coupled with the influences of by-gone superstars including Lionel Richie and Prince, the album was a polished debut that enabled the band to spin from it for the next five years. It Won’t Be Soon Before Long: Perhaps aptly named given the bands departure from the mainstream charts over the last five years, the new album is both more refreshing and refined than the first. Having taken their time, Maroon ...
...well as Michael Jackson, and it isn’t difficult to notice this when listening closely to the album. Levine’s voice although drier, could be described as a cross between Prince and Jay-Kay from Jamiroquai, and seems to have established a pitch not dissimilar to either two. The album itself is quite reminiscent of Jamiroquai’s heyday, tracks like Canned Heat and Little L feel as if they should have been compiled on the M-5 album. Unlike Jamiroquai, ...

Review of It Won't Be Soon Before Long - Maroon 5

...not everyone. Not sure why it has been so long, but lets just enjoy now it's here. *Track 1* If I Never See Your Face Again - This track is a nice opener, very similar to their old stuff, but it doesn't have enough for me. It's just a nice Pop song, nothing special. Time 3.21 minutes *Track 2* Makes Me Wonder - I'm sure you all know this by now, if not by name, then by the actual song. It took me a few times of playing it to like it, but it did ...
...beat, and I was hoping it would go on for a little longer. Very catchy chorus. Different to anything of theirs. A nice change. Time 2.17 minutes. *Track 4* Wake Up Call - This is an amazing track. I had heard it on the Lottery Show, and wasn't sure, but it definately sounds better on the album. It has a nice up beat sound, great guitar sounds, and a nice gradual build up to the end. It could do with being a lot longer though. This is my favourite. ...

Review of It Won't Be Soon Before Long - Maroon 5

...This is another fantastic track. It is a very easy listening track with a guitar melody as the main part of the backing track. 7.: Can't Stop - This is another one of the tracks that I constantly played. Again it is a very catchy pop/rock track. It is all about someone who you can stop thinking about and your just wishing you can get their attention. It has a fantastic guitar breakdown in the middle 8 on lead up to the final chorus. 10.: Kiwi - ...
...attracted to it as I thought Kiwi was quite an unusual name for a track. In my opinion i think Kiwi is supposed to be a woman/girl. The song is basically about love & lust. It is quite a simple but sexy track with a very catchy middle 8 which is what made me like the song the most! There is also a huge rock guitar breakdown at the end making a great finish to a great track. 13.: Until You're Over Me (bonus track) - This was one of the tracks that ...

Review of It Won't Be Soon Before Long - Maroon 5

...highs of the previous album it is still packed with good songs. There are few weak links if any. There are not as many stand out tracks this time around. The big hit "Makes Me Wonder" is the best track in my opinion. The other UK hit singles "If I Never See Your Face Again" and "Wake Up Call" are perhaps not quite on a par with the first single but are still good enough to have achieved higher chart positions than they did, especially the latter ...
...although I wouldn't quite describe it as a ballad. That description would perhaps be more appropriate for the soothing "Better That We Break" or "Back At Your Door". It would be easy to dismiss this album as bland simply because there are many bands around who aim their product at a similar market, but there is a consistency throughout this album that others will find difficult to match. The number of tracks and length of the album is just about ...

Review of It Won't Be Soon Before Long - Maroon 5

...is always that worry, 'will it be as good as thier first?' Such bands such as The Darkness have released a fantastic first album, but you cant help wonder where they are now since they released thier second. They deffinately didn't get 'Permission to land' with thier second album. Excuse the pun there, but it couldnt be helped. Unlike many bands Maroon 5 have not fallen on thier knees with the release of thier second album. Its called 'It Won't ...
...track, it is clear to hear a slight difference in sound to their first album. It is a lot more up beat, you could even say 'funky'. It seems that they have had alot of influence from artists such as Prince, Michael Jackson and Talking Heads, with thier funky guitar rhythms and synthesised backing beat. Its deffinately more danceable than the last album, it has a louder take on the pop sounds than thier first effort. Its certainly more aggressive, ...

...its highly addictive, i got it today and have listened to this 3 times already, it tricks you into thinking you already know the words!!!! Makes me wonder is a great tune already and has grown from strength to strength, rising from 38 to number 2 in the charts. My favourite is Little of Your Time - truly catchy and it's great for flying down the motorway on the way home from work! founds itself on repeat already. This albums get-the-girl-into-bed ...
...rest of the tracks are great and i don't want to spoil it for you but you need to buy this album to appreciate it. The voice is fantastic and the tracks are well written and tap-your-footable. you'd be silly not to. Songs about Jane has just got better. ...

Review of It Won't Be Soon Before Long - Maroon 5

...way, i personly found that it had a sound of the police in certain tracks alot of it is very 80's IMO but in a good modern way. All in all a great album with a really good feel to it, a little better than there first album songs about jane. The added plus of the bonus tracks is great and again they are really great songs. New album for the band and a new image all in all i give it the thumbs up! Track list... 1. "If I Never See Your Face Again" ...

Review of It Won't Be Soon Before Long - Maroon 5

...this product as soon as it was released. The replacement of drummer- Ryan Dusick, had changed maroon 5 style of music a lot by many their new style is preferred but not by others. Matt Flynn plays with a much straighter beat but this isnt necarcarilly a good thing seeing as Dusick was loose and had flow. There are good lyrics sung by frontman- Adam Levine. The quality is good with every song as good as the next including two bonus tracks. The track ...
...stars out of 5 and it was 32nd on The Rolling Stones top 50 albums of 2007. Overall i wouldn't say this is better than the last Maroon 5 album "Songs About Jane" but it is definately worth the money, ranging from about £3- £8. Overall i would also give this album a 4.5 stars but I will round it up to 5! ...

...whole album by itself, but it doesn't need to because the majority of the rest of the songs are just as infectious and catchy as the aforementioned song and this album is sure to be just as legendary and over played as "Songs abut jane". Definitely worth a try, even if you never get past "Makes me wonder". ...

Review of It Won't Be Soon Before Long - Maroon 5

...I couldn't believe how good it was! Definately top of the range at the moment. I haven't memorised all the songs yet but i soon will! My personal favourites are Makes Me Wonder and Kiwi. A little about Makes Me Wonder A song of medium speed but up-tempo. It has a summer beat to it and the rhythm is very catchy. The song is simply about somebody who has doubts about something who has no reason to have those doubts. 10/10 A little about Kiwi This ...
...the end they don't care. It is again of average tempo but the words make this song. 9/10 This product is being launched in the UK on the 21st of May 2007! Already it has been expected to be one of the top albums of 2007 and an excellent come back of Maroon 5. Sexing up their usual brand of feelgood songs, Maroon 5 have created a super-slick album of 70s-style tracks reminiscent of Justin Timberlake's recent beats. The announced tracks on the ...
