Amazon.com Maroon 5 aren't the first band to fuse R&B and rock, but they certainly are one of the most convincing. One can almost hear Stevie Wonder's beaded braids clattering in time to their deep, funky grooves. At best, the band conjures up latter-day Motown, complete with a shuddering organ and hyperbolic vocals; at worst, they sound like a stylized boy band, with all the attendant close harmonies and dramatic pauses. But despite these musical schisms, Maroon 5 are a thoroughly engaging outfit, thanks to throbbing bass lines, hooky songs, and lead singer Adam Levin's swaggering delivery. --Jaan Uhelszki

Maroon 5August 13, 2008 Jennifer L. Pizzo Maroon 5 Rocks!!! I had this CD previously but lost it. The price was right, the cd was brand new and it's just awesome.
A great albumJune 30, 2008 Yvette Bernard-williams(fla usa) This album is truly a great album. Released in 2005 internationally it is still rocking in 2008. All the songs are good most are great I recommend it highly I have already ordered their 2007 album can't wait to hear that I read the reviews some people say it's too commercial not as good as this one but look how much time they had to perfect this one. They did a superb job.
Good MusicJune 13, 2008 Faye E. Graves(Grand Rapids MI) As Maroon 5 is an excellent group I expected nothing but to be impressed. I was. The only reason I didn't give it more stars is the use of the "F" bomb in a song. Other than that I really do enjoy it.
Maroon 5 - The Band at its Best!June 9, 2008 Lauren A. Toman(USA) If you are a Maroon 5 fan, then this one is for you! I have spent hours listening to it. It has all of their best hits on it - look through at the list. Of all the ones I have bought by this band, this is by far my favorite. Give it a shot - they aren't popular for nothing!! :-)
