Amazon.co.uk Review
Maroon 5 aren't the first band to fuse R&B and rock, but they're certainly one of the most convincing. On Songs About Jane, one can almost hear Stevie Wonder's beaded dreadlocks clattering in time to their deep, funky grooves. At best, the band conjure up latter-day Motown, complete with a shuddering organ and hyperbolic vocals; at worst, they sound like a stylised boy band, with all the attendant close harmonies and dramatic pauses. Despite these musical schisms, Maroon 5 are a thoroughly engaging outfit, thanks to throbbing basslines, hooky songs and lead singer Adam Levin's swaggering delivery. --Jaan Uhelszki

Towards the end of 2003, the Christmas hit movie 'Love Actually' came to the cinema screens, and this, it seems, is where Marroon 5 make thier devue. 'Sweetest Goodbye' appears on the Love Actually soundtrack and is a great introduction to the band.
An incredible mix of R&B, rock and pop gives the US indie band a unique sound and for this they've reached small fame. On January 16 2004, Maroon made thier first known UK TV appearance on Top Of the Pops.
Tho they haven't made it to the top of the UK charts, they are there in the top 20. This is not a CD to miss out on - making a change from the usual Pop, Garage, Rock etc, they've a sound thats different from anything before - and we in the UK like it!

Really quality album, prbably more of a 4 and a half star album
Alerted to the band after having seen them support Matchbox 20 at Wembley, I checked out some of their stuff
Then, when i was on holiday in Australia i heard harder to breathe, and i was hooked. I assumed the rest of the album would be similar...I was wrong. Its got quite a jazzy feel to it, especially on the track sunday morning and i understand what reviewers mean when they say theres a bit of a boyband feel to it - however, somehow they can pull it off by keeping some good guitar sounds going on even if the vocals sound like daniel bedingfield...
Regarless of this 'boyband' sound, it is an awesome album. Stand out tracks being harder to breathe, tangled, sunday morning and this love, the guitar on shiver also very cool
Looking forward to their gig in april

The first song I heard from Maroon 5 was "This Love". Admittedly this song didn't catch my attention too much, but then "She Will Be Loved" was soon released and I loved it. I bought the album a few weeks ago, and have played it constantly since. Looking at my CD collection, "Songs About Jane" looks slightly out of place amongst the rest of the bands I usually listen to, but something about this album just really appeals to me. It's full of sweet love songs that'll put a smile on your face, as well as haunting ballads about and break-ups and the bad patches relationships have to go through. Whatever your mood, this album is an absolute joy to listen to.
Stand out tracks are: "Secret", "The Sun", "Harder to Breathe", "Shiver", "Sweetest Goodbye", "She Will Be Loved"... and those are just a few. I'd recommend this album to everyone.

One of the best
This is, put simply, one of THE best albums you will ever buy. I don't think there's a single track that I don't love.
