JuliaA.Aug 19, 2007the 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.

SimonSAug 15, 2007This is terrible, horribly overproduced, someone at work had this playing the other day and it sent shivers down my spine.

JCAug 2, 2007Quite 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...

mikeLJun 14, 2007@ nick c. Don't try to pawn your boring breeder popstars on us. unless and until any member of the band comes out, the presumption must be that this is breeder-pop bullshit. we're not claiming anything this inert as ours. that is all.

ChrisJJun 5, 2007Nothing rises above mediocre. If the last album contained a few moments of lively and enjoyable music punctuated with riffs and catchy melody, and you were preparing for more of the same get ready to be very dissapointed by It Won't Be Soon Before Long.

danrMay 30, 2007I waited 5 years for this album and now I realize why it took so long. Adam Levine was too busy have sex with all of Hollywood that he forgot to write songs. Sould is cool but come on, these lyrics are horrible.

mitchbMay 24, 2007I demand that the playlouder and observer ratings of this piece of crap are incorporated right now! They both give zero points to this truly terrible group.

If some of the ballads aren't as distinguished as the livelier tracks, they nevertheless are as sharply crafted as the rest, and the end result is that It Won't Be Soon Before Long is that rare self-stylized blockbuster album that sounds as big and satisfying as was intended.

BlenderThe cocky songs mask a lot of misery. [Jun 2007, p.107]

There's not a lot to fall deeply in love with here, but Levine and crew understand the importance of packing as much thrill as possible into each tryst, leaving you with mostly good feelings and no lasting emotional scars.
