Not Cool! - I bought this CD as a Christmas gift to my teenaged daughter. She s into Miley Cyrus and maturing with Miley s newer material, but she also loves all the obvious great artists, e.g., the Beatles, the Stones, from the 60 s onward. Both of my daughters are sophisticated listeners and encouraged me to buy them the Beatles Rubber Soul and Revolver for Christmas. I was disappointed by the profanity in Maroon 5 s remixes, e.g. Makes Me Wonder. What s up with the profanity? What s the point? It distracts from what would otherwise be pretty cool tracks. I made the oversight of buying this CD at the same time as the aforementioned Beatles discs. It may be unfair to compare such notable classic groups to the Maroon 5, but hey, I gave Maroon 5 a shot and they disappointed our whole family. You don t have to stoop to such levels to get your point across or to appear cool. Even my eight-year-old had enough class to tell me how inappropriate and unhip she thought the lyrics were. I guess I don t have to tell you who the real winners were as CD gifts to my daughters.
Terribly Dissapointed - I was so excited when I saw Maroon 5 in your new music email for pre-order. That probably made my eyes blind to the word remix. If I cared at all for techno pop dance music it might be different. But to hear all my favorites with a new beat and rythem was at best upsetting.
What did you do to my favorites?? - I absolutely love Maroon 5. I am very disappointed with this new CD. I tend to not be very happy with a re-mix. It is very creative, yet hard for me to enjoy it. There is a heavy techno-disco sound to these now beloved classics by Maroon 5. I have to say that Adam and the crew need to stick with what they do best....make the wonderful music and lyrics they have produced in the past!
Shaina MacMath - Love this album. Maroon 5 just keeps getting better! Cant wait to see what they can do next.
Love it! - I love the different interpretations of these tracks. Its great to see a band like this get the attention they deserve. I loved all of the tracks, although I heard a better version of If I Never See Your Face Again from an unknown artist that makes Swizz Beats version sound flat.
