Bringing Back the Funk; A Review of Maroon 5’s Sophomore Album

It Wont Be Soon Before Long that Maroon 5 becomes the most popular band of its generation. Forgive my corny pun, but Maroon 5’s new album, It Wont Be Soon Before Long, is one of the best albums I’ve heard in a while. I immediately took a liking to the band from the first time I heard their “Sunday Morning” track off of their first album, Songs About Jane; however, I wasn’t aware of how much I needed Adam Levine’s soulful voice in my life until the release of their follow up album in May 2007.

What I’ve always liked about Maroon 5 is their ability to create catchy songs that are innovative and fresh. It’s very rare that you hear a song on the radio and genuinely like it instantly; unless of course the tune is so catchy and cliché you find yourself singing along and ultimately end up hating yourself for it (cough, Avril Lavigne’s, “Girlfriend,” cough). But when I first popped the newly released It Wont Be Soon Before Long CD into my car, I immediately fell in love with every beat and lyric it contained. The band accomplished the feat of making each song sound so familiar yet so new, that I had to physically stop myself from trying to sing along to a song that I didn’t even know the lyrics to yet. Each song is so appealing in its own way, and the mix of rock and pop is blended to perfection on each track. In fact, I could see almost any track out of the 12 having hit-single potential.

Although the album contains several up-beat tracks, Maroon 5 most definitely plays on your heartstrings by singing mostly about love and the pain of heartbreak in practically every song. In this way, almost anyone can identify with the album, and furthermore, since each song is actually filled with meaningful, heartfelt lyrics, you don’t feel like your IQ just dropped 10 points from listening to a bunch of fluffy, empty words from a bubble-gum artist (Paris Hilton’s, “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” wouldn’t be a stretch perhaps?).

It’s always so disappointing when you love the sound of a band’s first CD, eagerly anticipate for the second one, and are let down by how different the new album sounds. It is important for music artists to grow, but it is also important for artists to find a voice that suits them and stick with it. Maroon 5 really managed to capture their loveable Hall and Oats/The Police sound all over again, but this time with even better beats and deeper soul. This album succeeds at sounding modern, while simultaneously staying timeless, especially on bluesy tracks such as “Back at Your Door.”

Although their beats may be a bit of an imitation at times, like on their “Not Falling Apart” track, (which I had to turn up before I realized it wasn’t “Every Breath You Take,” by Sting), the truth is that once Adam Levine’s tender voice comes through your speakers, he captivates you with his sweet-sounding vocals and distinct originality. And even though it is pretty much guaranteed that you will have quite a few 80’s flashbacks when listening to their album, I say, what’s wrong with that? Just like the fashion world brought back leggings and miniskirts this year, Maroon 5 brought back a Prince and Sting flavor to the music world. Maybe it’s just me, but I think we could use a little more of that funky, retro soul from the 80’s that we all know and love so much.


Get free Maroon 5 songs at 100Tunes.com.

And in case you need a little direction, some personal favorites of mine are, “Little of Your Time,” “Won’t Go Home Without You,” “Nothing Lasts Forever,” “Goodnight, Goodnight,” “Not Falling Apart,” and “Back At Your Door.”

100 Tunes...For Free!

Hello my fellow music lovers! Thanks for stopping by. Chances are if you are here, you looking for a way to download music that is not only free, but also legal. Well for those of you unfamiliar with how 100Tunes.com works, I’m here to give you a quick overview of how easy it is to participate on this site, and get the kind of quality music you deserve.

I’m sure you all have heard of programs such as iTunes or Limewire. Although it is legal, the problem with iTunes is that paying 99 cents for 1 song can really add up; before you know it you will have spent much more money than you had planned. Limewire is a legal program that seems too good to be true, and well, that’s because it is. Although the program is technically legal, sharing music files is not. So 100Tunes.com has come up with the perfect solution to give you the free and legal music you have all been waiting for.

It’s as easy as becoming a member and visiting our site. Once you are a member, you can click on links to exciting offers and discounts from some of the best online companies. You will never be required to spend any money on these offers; all you will have to do is check them out, possibly type in your zip code or fill out some surveys, and you will begin earning enough Tune Tokens to get 100 free tunes! If you earn 800 Tune Tokens on top of the 200 you receive just for joining the site, you will be able to choose any 100 tunes you want from over 750,000 songs 100Tunes.com provides. In addition, just by entering into our daily sweepstakes you will be eligible to win 100 free tunes without having to earn any Tune Tokens at all! It is as simple as clicking on any offers on the site, or referring a friend to the site through the Referral Program. Did I mention there is a winner every day? How cool is that?

Now that you have a good idea of how the site works, I want you to know that I am going to be using this blog as a way to communicate with 100Tunes.com members about any new information about our site. As well as keeping you updated about any new offers and other news, this blog will be a place for you to add comments and give feedback about your experience with the site.
