Album review #5: Maroon 5's Red Pill Blues

This will not happen again. Next time I make promises to you guys, I will check my schedule first :p

And now! The album review! How I did this: I listened to the full album and gave my impressions. They might not necessarily be accurate.

Track 1: Best 4 You (2/10)
~Repetitive, like all Maroon 5 songs, but this one is quite annoying. The verses hurt my ears. Adam Levine hits all the wrong notes.

Track 2: What Lovers Do (ft. SZA) (10/10)
~Extremely catchy. SZA sounds fantastic, I love her voice. The production is fantastic and it totally matches Adam Levine and SZA.

Track 3: Wait (10/10)
~My favourite song on the album! Extremely catchy. I love the build-up in the chorus. The verses are mellow, but still great. The balance between sections is perfect.

Track 4: Lips On You (8/10)
~The style doesn't match Maroon 5. The song would be fantastic if sung by someone who has experience with meaningful songs. But everybody has to start somewhere!

Track 5: Bet My Heart (4/10)
~Painful production, however, this shows that Adam can still sing low. The chorus is great, but similar to Lips On You, Maroon 5 sound awkward while singing slow.

Track 6: Help Me Out (w/ Julia Michaels) (3/10)
~Julia Michaels, oh no. The song has acceptable production, and Adam sounds great. But Julia Michaels destroys the song with her awful voice.

Track 7: Who I Am (ft. Lunchmoney Lewis) (1/10)
~Annoying. Lunchmoney Lewis is perfectly useless, and destroys the song. the song itself is boring.

Track 8: Whiskey (w/ A$AP Rocky) (2/10)
~What is it with Maroon 5 and their mellow attempts? There is no build-up, everything stays the same. Maroon 5 are heading downwards!

Track 9: Girls Like You (9/10)
~There we go! Some beat is back. I must say, I was surprised with the amount of mellow songs Maroon 5 put on this album. This one is fun, catchy, and I love the chorus.

Track 10: Closure (10/10)
~It sucks that this must be bought with the album. The song combined everything about the new Maroon 5, the falsetto, the low voice, production, and perfect build-up.

Track 11: Denim Jacket (explicit) (7/10)
~Great build-up. I feel like this is a song that would be very popular a while ago, it is that style. This reminds me of performances on The Voice.

Track 12: Visions (10/10)
~Fantastic! Very catchy, the song is so much fun to listen to, great production. Makes me forget all problems. I have a project due tomorrow, or I can listen To Wait and Visions.

Track 13: Plastic Rose (3/10)
~I haven't made any comment about the lyrics before, but here that aspect is the only good part. Adam went too high with his falsetto this time.

Track 14: Don't Wanna Know (ft. Kendrick Lamar) (10/10)
~I still love the lyrics, the production, the balance, the chorus, every single aspect of this song is just fun!

Track 15: Cold (ft. Future) (explicit) (6/10)
~I more or less grew into this. It is moderately catchy. However, I would not have thought of this as a single. More of a filler.

Thanks for viewing! Let me know you opinions on there songs in the comments section!

Top 5:
1. Wait
2. Visions
3. Closure
4. Don't Wanna Know
5. What Lovers Do

Recap

Hello! I'm back :p

In this post I will be recapping the weekend countdowns in October that I missed due to the garbage at #1. I plan on posting an album review for Maroon 5's Red Pill Blues later on today or tomorrow.
 
Thunder got annoying after hearing it so many times. The repetition of «Thunder» gets extremely annoying and when the electronic voice in the chorus kicks in I literally change the channel. First time I ever changed the channel from an Imagine Dragons song. Thunder is a disappointment.

This takes our streak of bad #1s to nine weeks. 2017 music, I can agree with a lot of people, is a disaster.

However, some great songs debuted. In fact, every song that debuted since I paused would be in yellow except You Already Know. I see good things in the future!

It looks like the end for Save Me A Place, sadly. Lights Down Low is still holding on, and it is gaining in my local radio, so maybe it could jump up a few spots in the near future. Feel It Still is going strong, it and Bad At Love are the only songs that are not bad in the top 10. I see Love So Soft at #11. Oh boy. What About Us is at #9. I never thought I would hate it as much as I do now. We are at the point where it is the worst song on the countdown. Even past a Kelly Clarkson song!!! What happened?

Well, when the song came out I was glad to see some more P!nk. So was the radio, I guess. I heard this song over and over and over and over. I listened to the song so much that it would be in my head for a week. And repetition like that becomes annoying. There are very few songs that I would now grow out of after that many listens (Lights Down Low, Believer, Stressed Out) but What About Us is not one of them. P!nk's voice has actually become annoying for me. Unfortunately...

1. Feel It Still
2. ...Ready For It?
