Maroon 5 - It Wont Be Soon Before Long (2007)
I have been waiting for a long time for this album and now it’s out, it’s the new album “It Wont Be Soon Before Long” from Maroon 5. Again SAW brings us another fine release. Maroon 5 are best known for their hit singles “This Love” and “She Will Be Loved” which I’m sure many of y’all probably heard before. This is their 2nd album and apparently from an interview I saw on TV couple of days ago the lead singer Adam Levine said this album would have more up tempo songs than their previous album so I’m guessing this will be a great one. Personally I can’t wait to listen to their music! 
Maroon 5’s 2002 debut album, Songs About Jane, was the kind of hit that doesn’t happen often in the new millennium — a genuine word-of-mouth hit whose popularity grew steadily after its release, largely due to the sweet sunny hit “This Love,” a song sly and catchy enough to stay on the adult pop charts for years without wearing out its welcome. It also was catchy enough to engender years of goodwill. Five years of goodwill, in fact, as the band toured heavily while slowly tinkering away on their second album, finally delivering It Won’t Be Soon Before Long (its title perhaps a pun on the gap between records perhaps not) half a decade after Songs About Jane.
If that delay sounds like a symptom of sophomore jitters, that’s not exactly true, since during that long stretch between albums Maroon 5 worked Songs About Jane and, in a sense that album wasn’t strictly their first album, either Maroon 5 evolved out of Kara’s Flowers, a post-grunge pop band whose 1997 debut never took off, not even when their debut was reissued in the wake of Maroon’s success, but it did provide the group with the foundation for their success; it’s where they paid their dues and learned how to be a pop band. Traces of Kara’s Flowers could be heard in Maroon’s rockier moments on their debut, but under their new name, the group began to develop an infatuation with blue-eyed soul-pop, which they wisely develop on It Won’t Be Soon Before Long.
More than develop, they modernize it, borrowing elements of Justin Timberlake’s stylized synthesized soul, but Adam Levine is wise enough to know that he’s no young colt, like JT. He knows that he’s a pop guy, somewhat in the tradition of Hall & Oates but he isn’t trying to be retro, he’s trying to fill that void, making records that are melodic, stylish, and soulful, which It Won’t Be Soon Before Long certainly is In every respect, It Won’t Be Soon is a bigger album than its predecessor: hooks pile up one after another, there’s not an ounce of fat on the songs, the production is so immaculate that it glistens. If there were lingering elements of Maroon 5’s alt-rock past on Songs About Jane primarily in its lazy, hazy vibe — they’re gone now replaced by the sleek, assured sound of a band that’s eager to embrace its status as the big American mainstream pop band of the decade.

Haha. and I just uploaded All the Promos yesterday (http://www.mininova.org/tor/700185) lol
this torrent worx ok just a server error at 1st but now seems ok doky
I HATE THIS BAND
They’re good
But sure this is the full album and not a promo-disc or Advance?
Can’t find torrent anywhere?
Why put this up when the torrent isn’t avaliable.
Maroon 5 is a nice band — Sunday Morning, This Love, She Will Be Loved, Must Get Out are some of their best, all hits, from Songs about Jane.
Makes Me Wonder is already being played on the radio a lot; it’s pretty good, even though it’s more pop-ish than Songs About Jane. I look forward to the other songs on the album though; thanks for the release.
Oh, and, I thought rlslog was in partnership with newtorrents on providing torrents and not mininova?
Not that I’m complaining.

Am I the only one bothered by the copy & paste jobs by A.J.?

Italics and quotation marks are your friends …
fuk sake wish this band would fuck off …pointless!
Love it.
Thanks for posting it AJ. And I don’t mind your “copy and paste” jobs. Thanks for informing me
That short review was part of the nfo included in the release. Perhaps A.J. pasted them here to give a brief description of the release. Tho’ I agree italics and quotes would be more proper.
what a fuckin ghey band. they’re a pop band who label themselves “rock”, like linkin park goes by the label “metal”
*shivers up my spine*
fy, there the fuk do you find the labels for these bands? dumbass
bands change labels from time to time idiot
It anit no Songs About Jane type of album sorry but its It Wont Be Soon Before Long before its forgotton.
yeah euro vision song contest was on the news here on new zealand tv i thinks its changed into the wearable art weird pop awards,very strange stuff except for the british act.
Okay, I’m listining to the CD now, and “Nothing Lasts Forever” sounds much too familiar…Did they do this on purpose?
That english song on the Eurovision was fucking CRAP, the worst on the show, typical from the limies.

Thats because “Nothing last forever” is part of Kanye West song on his last cd called “Heard Dem Say”. I like their new CD. I dont get why anybody else dont.
I think adam levine is gorgeus!!!!!!!!!!
heheheh
