SPOTIFY – Maroon 5 is an American band from Los Angeles. In 2005 the band has won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. For the next few years they toured worldwide with their first album release „Songs About Jane”. This period was the beginning for Maroon 5, and they started their way to the success. In 2011 they released their third studio album with “Moves Like Jagger”, and that song reached the number one position on the Billboard TOP 100. It was a big success but let’s take a look on their new release, V.

In V you can find many elements from Maroon 5 releases before. Song “Maps” is a fantastic prelude for the album but what you will find after this track will be so bad!

 Worst album

At all this release of Maroon 5 is the worst what we ever heard from them. Why? The sad truth is that Maroon 5 – V is a simple template release from the artist of Moves Like Jagger. I never thought they can make an album like this, but the guys shown to me that they aren’t different from any other fashion bands. There are some tracks in V which really great (for example “Maps”) but a few good song will not save an album which contains 14 tracks.

Leaving California

I can’t recommend the slower songs inside in the newest release of Maroon five either. Leaving California (one of the slow tracks) is an incredibly bad song, with the lowest value, I have ever heard. When I reached the “slow-part” I thought it’s a simple torture for me. When I tried to compare the new release with their albums before I realized, V is the worst release of the Grammy Winner band.

Five as 5/10

Maroon 5 – V is a bad release from the band, which started their career in the better way what they found. There isn’t any news in this album, the guys can’t show really innovations to us. They use the same formula what they used before. Audience will not love this release because the members of Maroon 5 are captured by the Past.
