Amazon.co.uk Review
Maroon 5 aren't the first band to fuse RB and rock, but they're certainly one of the most convincing. On ISongs About Jane/I, 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. I--Jaan Uhelszki/I

 Excellent album! Absolutely brilliant! June 4, 2004
25 out of 28 found this review helpful
I bought this album having heard "Harder to Breathe" and "This Love". I was a little apprehensive because I'd only heard these songs a couple of times before, but they were so good I just HAD to buy the album. It was definitely worth it!pIf you've heard any Maroon 5 song before and liked it, then I am certain you will love the album. I know it's sometimes hard to decide whether or not to buy an album when you've just heard one or two songs by the band- but I can tell you Maroon 5 do not disappoint. I highly recommend this album, I haven't stopped playing it since I got it a few months ago.

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.brAn incredible mix of RB, 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.brTho 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!

I'd only heard Harder to Breathe and This Love, and for me they stepped slightly too far over the pop line for my liking. I got even more sceptical when my mum begged me to get it off someone, you can understand why. I did however eventually listen to, and I put my hands up, i was greatly mistaken, it is by far one of the best albums out this year. pShe Will Be Loved has to be one of the best songs on it. His vocals remind me in some distant way of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The guitar and piano playing were incredible, they blended in so well together, the whole thing was a music miracle! Shiver, The Sun and Must Get out are the songs that really made this album. And i bow down to the bands producers for allowing them to release such a fantastic album. You can't categorise this kind of music, it's in a league of its own!
Buy it, but don't expect 12 harder to breathes.... December 29, 2003

Harder To Breathe attracted to me this album, that along with the reviews...br'They sound like Matchbox 20'br'John Mayer joined them for a track'br'Sound like Santana at times'brIt seemed very promising - but the album suprised me.brIt was full of backstreet boys like tracks! Don't let that put you off, they are great tracks. This album swings from inspired grooviness (is that a word?) to sweet ballads. brAt the end of the first listen I was confused - one minute they sounded EXACTLY like Red Hot Chilli Peppers, then Matchbox, then Santana, then Backstreet. Puzzled? Yes. Thrilled? Yes. brThere are no weak tracks on this album, it's fantastic.

i first heard Maroon 5 (like everyone else it seems) on the love actually soundtrack, then heard the single "harder to breath" and went straight out and bought the album..and how pleasantly suprised i was...to find a band that fuses so many different sounds and styles (funk, rock, jazz, soul) but never feels messy or too much is going on..to me there are no real stand out tracks and no fillers as every track is sooo easy on the ears.brits about time a band came along with a different sound and they dont get much better than this...i can sum this review into 3 words for you...SUPERB...BUY IT.
