8. Live – Friday The 13th (2005)

“This is one awesome band, incredible musicians, the down and dirty lyrics remind me of some of the great R&B stuff back in the day. And Adam Levine’s voice, you ain’t gonna get him confused with anyone else. ere is so much more energy in the live versions of the songs. With the possible exception of “Sunday Morning” -which is still good, I just prefer the studio version better- all the other songs are much better. I highly recommend it!”

7. Red Pill Blues (2017)

“”Lips on You” is the “Secret” of this album. So sensual. “Closure” is the one you want to make angry love to (in my dreams…) and “Who I Am” is simply ‘the’ song you want to play driving to work in the morning. It’s upbeat and enjoyable. In a world filled with unkindness, dread and nastiness, a breath of fresh air is needed. I am very happy with this effort of Maroon 5.”

6. 1.22.03 Acoustic (2004)

“Listening to the acoustic versions of the hits from Maroon 5 like This Love, Sunday Morning, She Will Be Loved, shows how talented this group of young men are. The lead vocalist has an amazing voice that is heard to its glory in the acoustic version of the album.”

5. Hands All Over (2010)

“The songs stick in your head. Every song has the most awesome beat. I dance/exercise to it every day and find myself exercising longer because of the beat. I go to turn it off, but it makes me want to dance some more. Hahaha! It makes cooking dinner and doing chores fun, too. I was first turned on to it when I heard the song, “Hands All Over”, on the show, “Medium”. It even has a song with Lady Antebellum on it, which is very good.”

4. V (2014)

“Great album, with catchy tunes, including the quite suggestive Sugar and Feelings. Probably not suitable for young ears. I loved it despite the explicit content, apart from: not really sure how you “f**k” the sky – maybe Adam is showing off about his s*x life! In Your Pocket very good reflection of how paranoid lovers become when they suspect betrayal. Gwen Stefani guests on the uplifting My Heart is Open. Lost Stars probably the most lyrical and wistful.”

3. Overexposed (2012)

“Starting with “Songs About Jane”, Maroon 5 has captured some great rhythms and lyrics in most of their albums and “Overexposed” is right up there. “Fortune Teller” is a gem, “Payphone” get some anger out, and of course all the Top Ten tunes like “Daylight” and “One More Night” are catchy. A good collection of songs you’ll enjoy listening to for a long time.”

2. It Won’t Be Soon Before Long (2007)

“his album shows influences ranging from Prince to 80’s Police & U2 to 90’s Club music to Justin Timberlake, and that’s OK too. Hard dance music is always good. But I have to say that the central, necessary element here is Adam Levine. Without him, there’s no show. It’s like removing Sting’s voice from “Every Breath You Take” and slipping in another vocal. Good music, but, oops, where’s the magnetism? Adam is especially good in “Not Falling Apart”, in which he sings in a much lower register than usual. And “Kiwi” is very hot. So is “Can’t Stop”. As for the album as a whole, even though I liked “Songs About Jane”, I think this album was a necessary evolution for the band’s sound. “Songs About Jane” was very unique, and that’s why people were drawn to it, but to repeat it would have been a mistake, in my opinion”

1. Songs About Jane (2002)

“Each track is worthy of being a single all it own. My favorites keep changing. It was at first ‘This Love’ because of its jumping, infectious beat, but ‘Tangled’ has got me whipped. From the hard-core in-your-face ‘Harder to Breath’ to the romantic ‘Will be loved’. Definitely a band that is on the rise to super stardom. Wouldn’t be surprised to find their music on motion picture soundtracks all over the place because of the scene-setting mood that each song possesses. I already heard one of their tracks on the TV show ‘ER’ and am waiting for more. I have to say, I am now a fan and you will be too.”
