Songs About Jane is crying in a corner somewhere. Because they, GOD FORBID, want to be successful? It's not exactly a bad thing. I don't see why people rave about Songs About Jane so much either tbh, it's largely trash.

I'll have to agree to disagree on that last part, that album is beautiful and had a huge impact on me as a teenager. Wanting to be successful is all well and good but for me they're compromising themselves. I didn't mind their shift towards poppy Max Martin music over the past 2 albums but this is a step too far IMO. It's completely basic and formulaic and not the Maroon 5 I bought into 12 years ago and have strongly supported since. This song pretty much outlines everything I hate about chart music today and it's worse when it's coming from one of my favourite artists. I'll have to hear more music from any up coming album because I'm not here for 12-16 Justin Bieber reject tracks.

They haven't met the standard/quality of that album since (unfortunately.) They've been on a rather obvious and desperate quest for success ever since 'Moves Like Jagger' was a shock hit and made them big again. Not a criticism because I've liked a lot of their post-MLJ stuff, but the difference in their output is clear.

I never took to SAJ and in my opinion their best album is either Hands All Over or It Won't Be Soon Before Long. I don't see anything wrong with changing your sound to want to have some success, it brings a new generation Of fans who might neve Have bothered if they were stuck in the past. Something new is better than being stuck 12 Years in the past.

Some people like it when their favourite artist chases current trends, potentially at the expense of the overall quality of the music. For others, it's a bit of a turn-off. It's one of the reasons music is so subjective and varied.

I never said you were though. I don't think the quality has dropped though. It's a better song than Maps and A lot more instant than Payphone was too. If the musics good then chasing trends isn't a bad thing for me.
