PeterMJun 6, 2007Love Maroon 5, and I must say that this album is great. I think the critics are very wrong in their conclusions, but again I adore this kind of music. Especially Won't Go Home Without You is lovely. What I do not like about the album: It is just too short, only about 40 min.. But great album. It gets better the more times you listen to it!

HaseebMMay 22, 2007The band took a huge risk changing their sound. They were successful with creating a beautifully crafted album. Every track flows together. Simply incredible!

mikegMay 23, 2007What can I say these guys know what makes a tune classic and arent afraid to use what has gone before to create what will last for years to come. ultimately hummable singable and buyable

MikeMJul 24, 2007I 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.

Jun 13, 2016This album is awesome!!!!!
It starts you off in a good mood with the first 4 tracks and with some awesome pop rock music and Adam sounds great there too !!!!
The Music is catchy and fun!! A really great album -
Oct 15, 2020Incredible album, not as good as Hands All Over and Songs About Jane, but it still deserves a 10. I really wish they will come back to this kind of music, I'm not a fan of their current stuff. My favourites are Won't go home without you, Wake up call and Back at your door (If I never see your face again with Rihanna is incredible too though).

Jun 21, 2021This album is a masterpiece, definition of masterpiece actually.
My favourite Maroon 5 album, there isn't a single song that I don't like, even on the deluxe version.
This album introduced me to Maroon 5, it was the first album I listened to as whole, and I wasn't dissapointed. Thank you guys for such a masterpiece -
Nov 24, 2021This album is just as great as their debut and there is a lot of great songs here

Nov 25, 2021My favorite album by Maroon 5, behind only by their debut, this is an amazing record by them

KellyMJun 4, 2007Songs are all likable. It still possesses the Songs About Jane story, but with a new beat.

OzkrCMay 22, 2007It has alitle bit the same sund from the other cd, but i like thise one a lot to

JesseMay 25, 2007A really great pop-album! What it lacks in "Songs about Jane"style sould it makes up for in catchy-ness. I do agree with one of the critics who said that lyrically the record is not up to par...It makes Adam Levine sound like a veeeery shallow guy... None the less, the tunes really flow beautifully

AlexRMay 29, 2007This is a really solid CD. That review by Playlouder is the most immaturely written piece of journalism I have ever read. This CD definately isnt for eberyone, but it is infectuous and is solidly performed by a grammy winning artist.

ErikaJun 14, 2007It's not as good as the first one but it's still up there. I like their new sound and all of the songs are awesome. The cd was worth my money.

MartinPMay 24, 2007Sounds a little different, but it's still Maroon 5. Not as hot as "Songs About Jane" but this still leaves me begging for more.

JustinMay 22, 2007The uptempo tracks are very, very good, with "Can't Stop" being the best of them. The ballads are a little hit-or-miss, but "Back at Your Door" is excellent. Overall, it's not as consistently impressive as the debut but it certainly has its brilliant moments.

RodrigoP.Jul 10, 2007Not as good as Songs about Jane(the only cd good enough to hear every track without gettin' boring 'til this day)... but still great...

Oct 21, 2012One of the best pop albums I think I've ever heard. I don't know how much that's saying, but whatever. Levine's vocals are fantastic, and the instrumentation is properly simple, rough, and right in your face... or... ears, I mean.
-
May 27, 2015A great album.Maroon 5 is my favorite pop rock band.Their songs are catchy and really good to listen, They a different style of making a good music.Some people say it is annoying but for me I don't really care about it due to the fact that I love Maroon 5 but I really much prefer to the old Maroon 5 but they try something new every song they make whether is catchy or just annoying.

eMay 22, 2007Does anybody else wish they would just stop doing ballads? They upbeat stuff is great.... but the ballads kinda suck.
-

CarlySJun 12, 2007I expected this album to be more different from their first one. Yes, obviously they did put a bit more into this album, and it is really catchy, some songs dissapointed me, while others made me want to get up and start dancing =]

JonathanLMay 22, 2007Generally good, but not many songs that stand out or don't just seem "blah".

Jun 3, 2021Although not as great as their debut, Maroon 5 crafts some great songs on their sophomore album.
FAV TRACK: Little Of Your Time
LEAST FAV TRACK: Goodnight Goodnight

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.
