Maroon 5 "It Won't Be Soon Before Long." - May 22nd

Just picked this CD up. So far, I really like it. It's got a very '80's "vibe" to it yet it sounds fresh and not dated. From just a few tracks, I hear a strong old school Michael Jackson, Prince vibe to it. According to what I've read, the band listened to older MJ, Prince and Talking Heads albums to get a reference for how they want the album to sound. Apparently, Quincy Jones' production was a major influence on them. I really think this CD is gonna blow up because it can work both at home (for the music fan) and in clubs (for that crowd).

Also, I got my copy at Best Buy for $10 and that includes a 2nd disc with 2 bonus tracks. A damn good deal IMO.

Add a bit of Police influence to the mix, especially on "Can't Stop's" little breakdown part. The reverb-y/echoplex treated guitar is very Andy Summers.

I listened to it earlier but didn't think much of it, but I also was being distracted as well. I'll give it another spin before bed and let it grow on me.
