Jul 10, 2012Overexposed is not a great album, but that doesn't mean it's not interesting. What we're hearing is the band actually learning to have fun again, and with any luck, they'll only get better from here.
-
Jul 9, 2012It's when he deviates from the plastic norm that he actually sounds most awkward.
-
Jun 29, 2012Overexposed is rather patchy and its highs are countered by some fairly wretched lows.
-
Jun 28, 2012The band's newest album is likely to alienate longtime followers and music snobs alike, but will undoubtedly excite newer fans who embraced their massive smash hit "Moves Like Jagger."
-
Jun 27, 2012Overexposed may not hold together as well as that album [Hands All Over ], but it's sure to keep the audience won over by The X Factor.
-
Jun 26, 2012It marks the first time Maroon 5 has completely receded into its songs' glossy production.
-
Jun 25, 2012'Sad' is an Adele-apeing weepie, 'Payphone' has a guest rap from Wiz Khalifa, and both 'Lucky Strike' and 'Fortune Teller' feature cod-dubstep breakdowns.
-
Jun 22, 2012Otherwise every passing second is a vocal battle against a declining attention span, like a clicked finger in the face, forever.
-
Jun 22, 2012On much of the album, which never quite finds a balance between rock grit and dance-pop glitz, Maroon 5 barely sound like a band at all.
-
Jun 22, 2012The hooklines and characteristic high-shine production are there, but don't quite replicate 2011 single Moves Like Jagger's blue-sky charm.
-
Jun 22, 2012Maroon 5's sudden decline with the Mutt Lange-produced Hands All Over seems unlikely to be significantly overturned by the lacklustre Overexposed.
