Hmm....everything that's been said here is true...

I've been listening to the new Maroon 5 CD and it's the epitomy of a "polished to the max, radio ready, OK songs" that I've heard lately. I started listening just to get some production ideas, now I actually like a lot of those songs.

They are so tight and so well put together that's it's ridiculous, but you know what, it works. They all come in just under 3:30 and they move so fast and grab you till the end and until the beginning of the next song. There's not even one second that is wasted.

The songs may not be great but I could imagine many of them be mediocre in it's raw form (piano/guitar and vocal). And then listening to them completely produced it's amazing what these guys can do. It completely proves the point we are all making to some degree...
