Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Sometimes it's O.K.--even important--to put aside your reluctance to embrace artists who make teenage girls scream. It happened in 2006, when Justin Timberlake scraped the sludge off pop and left something shiny behind, and it's happening again in 2007 with Maroon 5. It Won't Be Soon Before Long, the L.A. band's sophomore studio disc, rode in on a crest of hype and crumpled expectations--fan reports had it that Adam Levine & Co. scrapped their signature pop-soul sound for something harder and darker. Not so. Shades of Prince, Hall & Oates, and Sting still color the Maroon sound (check out the spectacularly fizzy "Little of Your Time," as well as the first single, "Makes Me Wonder," a song catchier than fire), but they're made ever fainter here by the clamping down of five guys on what is essentially the most distinctive pop sound to emerge from a single band since the Bee Gees squealed into the mid-'70s. It Won't Be Soon squares hip-hop sensibilities ("Wake Up Call") with rock ones ("If I Never See Your Face Again") and stormy moods ("Can't Stop") with bittersweet ballads ("Better That We Break"). It's a disc destined to defy detractors and go on to greatness, elevating the credibility of teenage girls for years to come. --Tammy La Gorce

CD Description
The second studio album from the Californian five piece is the follow up to 2002's incredibly successful 'Songs About Jane.' Produced by Eric Valentine, Mark Stent, Mark Endert and Mike Elizondo, 'It Won't Be Soon Before Long' boasts a more retro feel than its predecessor, incorporating elements ofelectro and soul with their trademark melodic vocal lines and multilayered guitar riffs. Includes the single 'Makes Me Wonder.'

4.0 out of 5 stars It Grew On Me, 27 May 2007
By Ciaran (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
My first impressions of the album were at first a little muddled. "Makes Me Wonder" and "Wake Up Call" were definitely standout tracks, but I felt other songs were lacking a memorable melody and distinction.

When I played 'It wont be soon before long" for a third time, I suddenly started to notice songs I'd sworn weren't there in the first place. "Little of your time" had Maroon 5 written all over it; packed with a spicy punch, synthesized chorus and a tinge of techo electricity.

"Kiwi" is in my opinion another awesome track. The song starts off with an element of jazzed up, light rock and then kicks in with a huge explosion of fast paced Maroon 5 rock.

With every play the album seems to gather more and more stregnth, slowly unfolding its star quality. It is clear from the distinctive instruments to the tiny touches betwixt songs that this is an album produced to a high degree of quality.

Although some fans may feel a little bit of the magic from Maroon 5's first album (the cd that brought you 'This love', 'Harder to breathe' and 'Sunday morning') is missing in the followup, 'it won't be soon before long' is still an ice-cool, primo delight. Fans of alternative, indie, rock, techno or dance music will find this album an absolute treat. Anyone who liked 'Songs about Jane' should definitely give this a try.

4.0 out of 5 stars My Feelings..., 7 Jun 2007
By M. A. Smith - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I loved Maroon 5's first album. It Won't Be Soon Before Long is quite similar but seems to embrace a more 'poppy' sound. As a rocky person this was a bit of a disappointment but after a few listens I now really like this album. There are some great tracks, all with a kind of easy-to-listen-to quality. The band claimed this album to be "stronger" and "sexier" but I think this is just because of some the language used. The 'poppiness' is simply a consequence of M5 moving into a more mainstream genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even Better!, 1 Jun 2007
By Angel of Urs (Staffordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
Having religiously played the previous Maroon 5 album (Songs About Jane) for weeks and weeks on end, I was a little worried that I wouldn't enjoy this album as much as the other. However, I can honestly say that I personally think that this album is multiple times better than the initial one.
There is great contrast in the types of songs on the album, a range of beats and tunes, some fast and slow but all equally as catchy and superb to listen to. It is quite utterly lyrical brilliance, Maroon 5 writes with much passion and typically it is based around the idea of different relationships.
Go out, buy it and listen yourself. . .even my dad likes it and he is very particular about his music.
