    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I used to love Maroon 5. Their first 4 albums (Songs About Jane, It Won't Be Soon Before Long, Hands All Over, and Overexposed) are solid pop rock in my opinion, with each one well written lyrics, great instrumentals, and nice inclusions of different genres, like blue-eyed soul, R&B, funk, and dance.
    But with V and Red Pill Blues, they drastically went downhill to me. The lyrics were generic and poorly written, the production declined, the instrumentals were toned down and sidelined, Adam's ego took over, and his vocals got worse.
    But those 2 albums can't compare to the atrocity known as Jordi. I hate the incomplete writing, the repetition, the performances of the featured artists, and the overall execution.

    My ranking of the songs from least worst to worst:
    Convince Me Otherwise - 1.5/5
    Beautiful Mistakes - 1.5/5
    Remedy - 1/5
    Lost - 1/5
    Nobody’s Love - 1/5
    Can’t Leave You Alone - 0.5/5
    Memories - 0.5/5
    One Light - 0.5/5
    Memories (Remix) - 0.5/5
    Lovesick - 0.5/5

    Blue eyed, production perfect pop for Dad's, Mum's and any strange offspring. In fact Grandparents can even get into this. They've lost the edge of earlier days but pop is pop. Easy listening, 2020's lounge. There's no need to individualise the tracks as its just one large splat of bbq, beer and summer days' backround tunes.

    why did maroon 5 had to be so mediocre and out of touch with the beloved genre of pop/rock, which they so nicely inspired the band in the past?

    The real low point of Maroon 5. The rhythm of every song in the album is noisy and low rent, and the lyrics are..........damaged.

    Sadly people are still butthurt they don't create rock like they used to back in the 2000s. I really love Maroon 5 and the biggest reason behind it is they are versatile, you can listen to them all day long without getting bored, becouse they don't stick to one genre.
    This album is fenomenal. There are two songs that I don't find that appealing, otherwise I couldn't be happier with Jordi.

Lost just became my favourite out of the album, Beautiful mistake is another killer, Nobody's love is the band's hidden, underrated gem, sadly I didn't get caught by memories that much as people rate it. Other favourite songs I'd like to point out are Remedy (super catchy), Can't leave you alone (very beautiful and catchy) and Seasons (yet again another catchy hip-pop style song) .    … Expand

    Ever since Memories came out a while ago, I was expecting Maroon 5 to come out with a full length album to accompany it. That being said, JORDI’s release still caught me off guard, along with the amount of “collab” songs it contained. My overall impression is mixed, having liked a number of its songs, though shuffled in with the good is more of the mainstream stuff I had hoped Maroon 5 would shy away from after the disappointing Red Pill Blues. At the same time, JORDI is the highest-scoring Maroon 5 album in nearly 10 years by a longshot (in my book, beating Red Pill Blues and V), which is noteworthy. I appreciated the band dipping their feet in some new styles though, such as the electric guitar openings. The same old fun lyrics and Adam Levine’s charming voice are other highlights of JORDI and are reminiscent of previous releases.

    The work starts off with Beautiful Mistakes, which started with one of those nice e-guitar openings, though I wished the vocals weren't autotuned as much and I could have done without the generic e-drums. Despite that however, it was a fairly catchy song and the Megan Thee Stallion part actually sounded pretty great. I really liked how Lost built up before crashing in the chorus, though as a whole it felt a little overprocessed. The echo vocal effect bugged me a little bit, though the part directly after the second chorus pleased me. Echo’s keyboard was nice though I could have lived without the generic e-drums and vocal pattern. I did like how Adam Levine sang a little higher though. Everything but the drums sounded good but I wished there was more substance to the chorus. Lovesick sounded really nice (especially the bass and drums only part). The background vocals were wonderful and I liked the last chorus and the different melodies. Remedy’s start (just vocals and e-guitar) was awesome and I loved what the kick drum added. While I’m not usually a fan of vocal effects, I did like the one in the prechorus. This song was nice and upbeat. Seasons started with an opening similar to some other songs on the album, which had begun to grow old. Besides the brilliant bassline and low e-guitar, there was not a lot to distinguish this song from the average mainstream current song. One Light’s intro was nice, but again I wished they’d shake things up. The clap was unexpected but it added a lot. I thought it was awesome how the whole song was built off one riff. The rap break didn’t totally seem to fit but it wasn’t the worst thing that could have happened, given some of JORDI's other songs. Convince Me Otherwise’s music was wonderful and I loved the bassline, piano, and the part with multiple vocals. The e-piano in Nobody’s Love was great and I really liked its lyrics. The e-guitar in this song sounded awesome, along with the big drum fill. It reminded me of some stuff from V, which was kinda fun. Can’t Leave You Alone started out with a familiar-sounding e-guitar intro but I was more fine with it because it had been a while since they used it last. The vocal pattern and e-drums were not my favorite, though. The lyrics were nice at least and I liked the piano part right after the rap. The lyrics in Memories were great and I loved the stripped down opening. The background vocals were fantastic and I thought it was beautiful how this song slowly built. Button was a bit repetitive though the reverbless vocals were nice. I really enjoyed the music but the lyrics were not amazing. The spanish part was unique and that spiced things up. The thing that stuck out to me the most in Lifestyle were the number of backing vocal tracks, and while there were some generic e-drums the lyrics were enjoyable. The song could have used a bridge, since it felt pretty short. Perhaps it would have been better to have Memories be the closer because I felt myself wanting more after this energetic song ended.

    Overall, Maroon 5’s latest is not terrible, but it perhaps won’t win any new fans. Then again, there are a few songs from this release that I enjoyed and would gladly listen to again. As a whole though, I would have enjoyed a bit more diversity, a little more uniqueness (something to set apart the band from the rest of mainstream music, something like what the band resembled in the days of Songs About Jane or It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, for instance), and perhaps more songs that weren’t collaborations. It’s always the hope that Maroon 5 goes back to producing pop-rock music, as that is when they were at their best (in my opinion), but at least JORDI is a step in the right direction. Highlights: Lovesick, Remedy, One Light, Convince Me Otherwise, Nobody’s Love, Memories, and Lifestyle.    … Expand

    It's a shame how this group voluntarily decides to make radio-friendly, generic pop noise for profit.

The absolute worst song on this album is "Seasons" because it is the most generic trap song I have ever heard in my life. The songs are so forgettable that I am beginning to forget about them as I'm writing this. Every song relies way too much on reverb effects, and the song "Echo" proves my point because it uses those effects in the most obnoxious in-your-face-type fashion. The only song I actually liked is "Memories (Remix)". Overall I just found this to be the most boring, mind-numbing pop record I have ever heard, and it seems like the market for that type seems to be never-ending.

    I did not like this album. Half of these songs sound like parodies of boy band songs. I legitimately think that some of these songs could have been written by Boyz 4 Now (the fake boy band in Bob's Burgers}. Would not recommend this album, but do watch Bob's Burgers.

Then, fame went into Adam's head and his ego has gotten bigger, and their music became gradually worse. The worse part of the album is that, even though it's dedicated to their late manager, Jordan Feldstein, once you listen to the entire album, you hear nothing that remotely sounds like a tribute to Jordi, which makes it infuriating that the band named the album after him. Also, the production on the album sounds very generic and relies heavily on the trap sound that dominates the charts today, even at one point, Adam is singing in the same style as Migos on one of the tracks. Most of the features the album has don't add much to the album, such as as Megan Thee Stallion on Beautiful Mistakes. But there are moments where I enjoyed the album, such as Convince Me Otherwise with H.E.R. or Lovesick, which has a nice guitar groove. Overall, Jordi is an album that is not worth your time and it will be soon forgettable in a couple of days.… Expand
