What the hell is up with Maroon 5's new cd? I just finished watching them on SNL. Not only did they not sound particularly like Maroon 5, but Adam Levine didn't even seem like he was trying that hard.
Maroon 5 is supposed to be a rock band: they were funky and somewhat pop-ish, but they were still a rock band. They have been even since they were Kara's Flowers. But from what I've heard of this cd, its completely pop -- and not even particularly good pop. It doesn't even sound like a band anymore: it sounds like Adam Levine singing supposedly "sexy" lyrics over assorted 80s synthesizer sounds.
I have to say, I had high hopes for this cd, but so far its pretty disappointing. I preordered the cd, so I guess I'm stuck with it -- maybe it'll grow on me.
