Amazon.co.uk Review
Sometimes it's O.K.--even important--to put aside your reluctance to embrace artists who make teenage girls scream. It happened in 2006, when Justin Timberlake scraped the sludge off pop and left something shiny behind, and it's happening again in 2007 with Maroon 5. It Won't Be Soon Before Long, the L.A. band's sophomore studio disc, rode in on a crest of hype and crumpled expectations--fan reports had it that Adam Levine & Co. scrapped their signature pop-soul sound for something harder and darker. Not so. Shades of Prince, Hall & Oates, and Sting still color the Maroon sound (check out the spectacularly fizzy "Little of Your Time," as well as the first single, "Makes Me Wonder," a song catchier than fire), but they're made ever fainter here by the clamping down of five guys on what is essentially the most distinctive pop sound to emerge from a single band since the Bee Gees squealed into the mid-'70s. It Won't Be Soon squares hip-hop sensibilities ("Wake Up Call") with rock ones ("If I Never See Your Face Again") and stormy moods ("Can't Stop") with bittersweet ballads ("Better That We Break"). It's a disc destined to defy detractors and go on to greatness, elevating the credibility of teenage girls for years to come. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews

Great. Advertise onthing sell another....
this album does not include the Rihanna version of the first song which is reciving lots of airplay at the moment. be warned.
And the music industry wonders why people DL stuff....

Best album i have EVER bought
This album is undoubtedly the best album i have, replayable whatever time in the day and whatever mood im in. Here is a run down of the songs:

1. If i never see your face again: Not my favourite song on the album but is very upbeat and definitely sets the main template for the rest of the songs in the album.

2. Makes me wonder: Slightly faster song with a sophisticated catchyness to it.

3. Little of your time: Another fast song which is upbeat and catchy, great tune

4. Wake up call: Great song about a guys wife/girlfriend cheating on him, brilliant tune and lyrics, really gets the character across well

5. Won't go home without you: .......wow........absolutely phenominal, exceptional lyrics accompanied by a brilliantly flowing melody...absolutely unforgettable song

6: Nothing lats forever: Touching song which is slower than the previous 5 but has great lyrics and really makes you feel like what the singer is feeling.

7: Can't Stop: racey tune which can get a little irritating but it's still a good standard compared to most other artists

8: Goodnight goodnight: Another slow song with a fabulous melody and brilliant lyrics, very touching song

9: Not Falling Apart: Fairly upbeat song which is easy to listen to, nothing special lyrics wise but melody is nice to listen to.

10. Kiwi: Very racey song with a catchy tune, not for those who like "innocent" songs

11. Better that we break: Very much like "Goodnight Goodnight" and "Won't go home without you"- slow and meaningful with brilliant lyrics

12: Back at your door: Similar to "Better that we Break" but not a great melody.

13: Until your over me: Brilliant up beat song with a feelgood air to it- a good sing along song

14: Infatuation: Another song much like "Kiwi", not particularly brilliant but a good song nonetheless.

One of the best albums I own
I can't get these songs out of my head, not in a bad way, but probably down to 1/ I am listening to them right now and 2/ there're so good. Seriously this is all i have been listening to since Christmas. Buy this and I have "Songs about Jane" on order.
