Nov 12, 2017Red Pill Blues extends on Maroon 5's mediocrity. Instead of going for the usual rock and sometimes pop crossovers this album goes full electropop and Adam Levine is not flattering with that sound. What Lovers Do is a catchy song but it still is just not as good as their old work. This album is for sure a skip.

Jan 3, 2018I really wanted to give this album a chance, but it is just plain bad. Maroon 5 have been on a rapid decline over the past few years, and "Songs About Jane" is still their shining achievement.

Aug 16, 2020Sorry, but this sucks. I've always been a massive Maroon 5 fan, and I love all of their previous albums very much, but this just isn't it. It's generic, boring, too long and just BAD.
The only thing stopping it from getting a lower score are the singles which were all pretty good and enjoyable, but yeah overall this album is not good at all. -
Jun 3, 2021Maroon 5 manages to descend from making extremely boring, alright music to making you want to fall asleep.
FAV TRACK: Girls Like You
LEAST FAV TRACK: Visions -
Nov 3, 2017Maroon 5 has now to succumbed to generic mainstream trash. Anyone who is expecting for the old sound will be deeply upset by the direction they have taken.

Nov 6, 2017really i cant believe Maroon 5 spent more than 2 yrs just to make a horrible album like that .... i can understand they took a new direction but its really not good at all , the best songs in the album which ones that released as main singles and WAIT is not bad too but generally very disappointed album
-
Nov 6, 2017This album is sort of a departure from the norm for the band, which sometimes results in an expansion of sound and diversity. it falls short of other Maroon 5 works and its the first album that isnt a listen from front to back. The album flow wasnt thought out well and they have set a high bar for themselves. All together id give it a 5 out 10
-
Nov 16, 2017Their best album since 2011. Taking some elements from their earlier songs and mixing it with their later tunes, they seem to hit their stride once again with this album.

Nov 4, 2017This is a great album, they change a lot in every record, but this time It´s on point. I was
skeptical about the colabs, but they sounds great.
My favs: Best 4 U, Vision, Lips On you.
Just enjoy the new sounds!!! -

Mar 21, 2020Good pop album, I mean it didn't deserve the hate it get. I loved "Girls LIke You" at the moment, but nobody's talking about the song. Then boom, six months later, everybody loves the song. But no vocal delivery and what the hell is "Closure"?

Nov 28, 2017No diré mucho sobre este álbum, pues una mala continuación de V, con canciones que en realidad no llegan a nada y que es mas de lo mismo, tratando de mantener ritmo pero no con calidad.
-
Dec 24, 2017I used to wait for this album and think that it would be so unexpected... However, I overestimated it so much. It's like you're listening to the same song all the time. They're all so similar. Sad.

May 3, 2018I think they did a great job mixing the sounds of R&B with pop, trying to stick to their roots with Songs About Jane.
Red Pill Blues is the closest in terms of sound to their first album. -
May 11, 2018The worst album I've ever heard in the pop genre. It was awful.The sound of Adam is good on this album, but the lyrics and performance of other members of the band are catastrophic.
-
May 11, 2018I wonder what the hell happened to Maroon 5? The album is not that horrible, some songs are great, but the whole work is below their talent. We need more Songs About Jane and less Red Pill Blues.
-
Jul 31, 2018Very cool and enjoyable album with great writing, melodies and production. The featured artists are good, but Maroon 5 has really hit their stride making songs that people want to hear again and again. I enjoy this album quite a lot
-
Dec 25, 2018Changes for the worse. Degradation. It seems that this is the beginning of the end of the once beautiful band. Where did the drive, corporate identity? I do not understand why they need 7 people. For such a "music" enough three.
-
Aug 30, 2021As a huge fan of Maroon 5's pre-"Moves Like Jagger" work, this has got to be the worst album I have ever forced myself to sit through in full. Their new album "Jordi" came out this year and I just couldn't even force myself to give it a listen. What a disgraceful fall from a band that once created a 10/10 album in Songs About Jane.

Jun 21, 2021My least favourite album, but still an amaizing one. The thing with this album is, they main singles are amaizing, but the attached songs are not that good, of course there are examples, such as Best 4 u, Visions, Denim jacket.
-
Nov 24, 2021People usually dislake this album and even though I don't think its better than their first ones, I still think its good
-
Nov 25, 2021Maroon 5 is not as relevant as they use to be but they still manage to make a great album
-
Nov 25, 2021A very good album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nov 8, 2017Levine’s voice murmurs and glints in the corners of the arrangement, and the total effect is exactly as pleasingly immaculate and numbing as all soft rock should be.
-
Nov 6, 2017Whether skating over house beats on "Plastic Rose" or cruising through a ballad like "Denim Jacket," Levine proves himself a pliant star of Jacksonian ease and Stingly self-assurance.
-
Nov 6, 2017With Red Pill Blues Levine and co have managed to produce an album that is uninteresting and unexciting; at best this is background music, to be listened to on very, very low volume, or even better, not at all.
