Maroon5's Songs About Jane was a good album and it spawned several hits that got a lot radio play. So when I saw this album in my local library, I decided to give it a try. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by this album. It Won't Be Soon Before Long is so much better than Songs About Jane. The CD has good flow and I like the up tempo beat for the songs. I keep this album on my iPod all the time and listen to it a lot. It is great album that is foot tapping and body moving. Standout songs: If I Never See Your Face Again, Makes Me Wonder, Little of Your Time, Won't Go Home Without You, and Back At Your Door.
The Good
Adam Levine gets his groove on with "If I Never See Your Face Again," and it just keeps going and going. "Makes Me Wonder" is the most memorable and catchy song on the radio right now. There's something wrong with you if you're not cranking this one, and moving your body to the funky rhythms. Levine is the king of smooth on the mic here. It's back to more of a guitar sound on "Little of Your Time," but the keyboards and programmed effects still tend to dominate. "Won't Go Home Without You" tends to mimic "She Will Be Loved" from the band's last album, but it still has a feeling of its own lyrically. "Nothing Lasts Forever" employs enduring vocal melodies and acoustic guitars to draw you in. "Better Than We Break" is a soulful, piano-based ballad that is delivered with plenty of heart and emotion.
The Bad
Well...it sure ain't "This Love" all over again.
The Verdict
Not exactly the sound I think about when I think of Maroon 5, but I can't say it really turned me off either. Adding keyboards and programmed beats really did add texture to Maroon 5's sound, breaking them out of the modern rock genre and launching them into the power-pop realm. I don't think I'll ever get "Makes Me Wonder" out of my head, but I do have to wonder if fans will accept this new, funkier, and danceable sound.
