This is by far the best album I have heard in my entire life.

the music's lukewarm, that I can stand. but I can't stand the lyrics.it's official now that Adam Levine has gone as a lust-maniac.apparently he can't write songs if he hadn't broke up with girls or had laid them.
Simon S gave it a0:
This is terrible, horribly overproduced, someone at work had this playing the other day and it sent shivers down my spine.
Windy W gave it a5:
I loved the fist Albumb Songs about Jane but I hate there new stuff it sounds like every other premiered band featured on MTV for one month.
J C gave it a2:
Quite simply, if you're the sort of person that cannot praise a record without constant spelling/grammatical mistakes (see below) then yeah, this record is probably for you. Those of us that can actually THINK are looking for a little more...

This is one of the best albums of 2007, i agree completely with the poster below me that the only mistep is kiwi, and can't stop as well i think lol. If i never see your face again, makes me wonder and wake up call are pure party songs. Won't go home without you, Nothing lasts forever, Not Falling apart, Better that we break, back at your door are all beautifully written love songs that WILL stand the test of time, and you wil find yourself falling in love with them instantly. and goodnight goodnight is going to be their number 1 hit, and will also be the single that propels their album to multiplatinum status (if it isn't already) if they ever decide to release it! Don't even get me started on the "BONUS TRACK" infatuation which is in fact better than 90% of rock music out right now. This is an album that ANY maroon 5 or ANY fan of popular music will enjoy. the lyrics are so well composed and "sing alongable" it wouldn't be a stretch to call it the karaoke album of 2007 as well. In summation, don't believe the haters saying this album sucks, it is well worth the 15 bucks it costs after listening to this, i can understand why it took them so long to release a sophmore album. With quality like this who can blame them!

I don't know what you people are talking about.this album is a 10 out of ten.It's a pure dance mood album.It's way more mature than Songs about Jane and shows absolute voacl prowess.The one mistep is Kiwi,but the rest of the songs (Goodnight Goodnight with the slight Kryptonite guitar at the start),like Wakeup Call,are instant classics for radio.
