Ambiance and lofi are a whole lot more engaging, innovative, and wholesome to listen to than this sorry excuse for an album from a formerly world-renowned pop-rock band.

If I wanted to put on some background music to vibe to, why would I pick this album? I would rather put on a playlist or live radio stream of lofi, ambient, or new age music.

Why is it that I catch myself wondering where it all went wrong for the “band” more times than I should. It honestly is a shame. ‘Songs about Jane’ actually has some really good tracks namely ‘This Love’, ‘She Will Be Loved’, ‘and Sunday Morning’, and I’m also quite fond of ‘Misery’ from ‘Hands All Over’. And with tracks like these it’s all only 2-5 people on the writhing credits, not to mention it’s Adam AND his band members. But nowadays, with every single release Maroon 5 becomes less and less of an actual band, and more of Adam Levine (and others), trying to do whatever the hell is popular, with writing credits from everyone single exec from the music industry, except for god forbid any of the members who aren’t Adam.

How about changing it up a bit, leaving the comfort zone for once, something completely new and refreshing. I mean just look at his Loveless reaction, and now it's one of his favorite albums. He says he is more motivated now, but for a while he was complaining about his fatigue with music and if you check out his AOTY reviews and rankings I think it is clear why, just the same stuff over and over again.
