The Music Enthusiast: Album Review: Hands All Concluded by Maroon 5

As many of you live I have been extremely excited for Maroon 5`s newest release. When I went to their concert I was tempered to some of their newer material and it did not disappoint. It was only natural that I was leaving to pre-order the luxurious version of the album on Itunes (thanks to all my friends who got me gift cards for my birthday which made this possible).

While I do really like the cd as a whole, a few of the songs aren`t my favorites. Let me leave you a run down of the album and the best tracks. The beginning call on the album is Misery which I`m certain you get all heard on the radio over the summer. The sec course is one of my favorites called Have A Little More. I`m pretty positive they played this at the concert, and it has a super retro vibe which I love. It sounds almost like it could be off of one of the Bee Gees old albums or go in the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. The third song called Stutter is somewhat similar to Maroon 5`s older material. It is reminiscent of the songs Tangled and The Sun off of their first album Songs About Jane. The fourth song off of the album is called Don`t Know Nothing and is likely one of my least favorite songs off of the full album. It has a very odd opening, which sounds Moroccan influenced. Number 5 is called Never Gonna Leave This Bed, and it is unquestionably one of my favorites. It is angelic and slow and really showcases Adam Levine`s talent. Number six I Can`t Lie reminds me of something that I actually can`t pinpoint. It is definitely like to their song Sunday Morning. The title track Hands All Over is number 7 on the album. It is interesting, and darker like some of their songs from their previous album It Wont Be Soon Before Long. Again, this course isn`t as well to me as many of the others. Track eight is called How and is another slow but beautiful song. Track nine is called Get Support in My Spirit and is also heavily inspired by retro sounds. It is pretty 70`s in sound and definitely interesting to hear to. Track ten is called Simply a Feeling. It is another slow song and is more insistent than most of their slow songs. I`m not in bed with it, but it definitely jives with the early songs on the album. Track eleven is called Runaway and is pretty decent. It is faster paced and doesn`t cause the most interesting melody, but I even like it a lot. Track twelve is called Out of Goodbyes and features Lady Antebellum. I have to say that this is my least favorite track off the album and even hearing it the start time I felt the press the fast forward it immediately. It was pretty boring, and not interesting to me at all. Track thirteen is called Last Chance which reminds me of Little of Your Sentence and Kiwi from their previous album It Wont Be Soon Before Long. The final (non bonus) track is called No Curtain Call. It is a little slower and has a real Moulin Rouge-y vibe to it. It reminds me of the film`s version of the call The Point Must Go On (originally by Queen) mostly because of the "curtain call" theme. Over all I wish the album a lot, and the deluxe addition has a lot of additional acoustic tracks, and the last adaptation of If I Aint Got You. Give the album a mind and let me know your thoughts!
