I just got the new Maroon 5 CD entitled "It Won't Be Soon Before Long". It's really good. The lead singer has one of the coolest voices to come around in a long time and they have definitely have taken a step up in terms of their production and programming on this sophomore effort. These 13 songs are chalked full of great melodies that stick in your brain long after you shut it off. I also like how this CD is probably even more funk and pop influenced than the last one.
My only complaint about this one is that it's seems to carry on the singular theme from their last CD: the "hey I'm still ticked at the chick that screwed me over" lyrical thrust. It kind of gets old and I would love to see them come up with something a bit more original to say.
To see a really cool video of them playing their first single from this record on aol music, click here.

Track 4 on the CD is fantastic - I love how the lyric plays and interacts with the rhythm of the rest of the song.
Rest of the album is pretty solid from start to finish. Good second effort by this group.
I do agree though, after 27 tracks of the same theme, they need to mix it up a bit or else they might start losing steam.
