An album that kicks and stomps on the devoted fans who loved the soul and funk vibes they've displayed over their career, replacing them with throw away beats that just don't belong in any Maroon 5 song. Overexposed is the perfect title for this album as it feels uninspired, and over produced and has little to no soul. Levine's affair needs to end quick before it burns away.

"I'm on a payphone, trying to call home, thinking about all the change that i spent on you" You mean those 50 cents or so that take to pay for a payphone? Emotion. Right here.

Maroon 5 turns their back on the fans who followed their blues-rock-pop style and turns to generic pop that is instantly forgettable. The standout tracks are SOLELY the ones where they show evidence of their roots in pop-rock, rather than synthetic, artificial pop

Dropping all soul and funk elements from their soundscape, this might be the most cohesive Maroon 5 album. But having a coherent sound does not guarantee quality: Overexposed just goes by, with only the first two songs - which are the main singles - being somewhat memorable. The rest is just there.

At one point I had no standards when it came to music. Wooh glad I got some now because this is awful. You still on your pay phone? Tell them it's a 1 star for me.

All I have to say is that Dreamcatcher's cover of Lucky Strike makes the song a lot better. And even if you don't like it, the girls are hot.

What the hell happened to Maroon 5? They had so much promise on Songs about Jane and followed it up with slightly worse but still decent records that kept their funk rock style intact. On Overexposed, all we get is tons of sugary pop garbage that was the exact opposite of what we loved about Maroon 5. Maybe Adam Levine should have marketed this as a solo album. Maybe they should have stuck to the funkier side of pop rock. I don't know. What I do know is that this is an incredibly pitiful album from a band with promise.

It turns out I'm not alone in this case when I say the first Maroon 5 album was actually pretty enjoyable. Sure, it would be considered a guilty pleasure because it's rather poppy and sometimes sugary, but it was quite good for what it was. Starting from their sophomore album though, they've been taking a downward spiral into poppier, overproduced, and just plain shitty territory. In fact, at this point you could just call them "The Adam Levine Band" because just about none of the time are any of the other band members prominent. Now, Maroon 5 was obviously never a "riff" band or whatever, but they had an element of guitar, natural drums, and bass guitar in their early sound, which was quite enjoyable. But, now they are just dominated by synths, auto-tune, drum machines, and the overall packaging of modern radio. Lyrically, some of the songs on their debut seemed rather sincere, but now they've been reduced to major label logic; don't bore us, get to the chorus! So overall, a piece of shit, and nothing more. And to think, Maroon 5 actually had some potential at one point.

What the fuck is this garbage and why the fuck did the group responsible for Songs About Jane release it?

Throughout the years so many bands have been accused of 'selling out' that it has become a somewhat meaningless phrase. SCREW IT! I'm using it here. Actually if you looked up 'selling out' in the dictionary this album should be there (true story). A couple of good songs here and there don't make up for the incredible slap in the face this record is to even the casual fan.

I remember when you could tell this band had some rock influences. Obviously none of them survived to see this album be released. Furthermore, there's no good pop influences either, because this is so uninspired and vapid, it makes me wonder if they're becoming a commercial product.
