It Won't Be Soon Before Long

It Won't Be Soon Before Long is the second studio album by the American rock band Maroon 5. It was released in May 2007 as the follow-up to their debut album Songs About Jane (2002). The name was inspired by a phrase the band adopted to keep themselves motivated while on their tour. The album debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling around 430,000 copies in its first week and, as of 2011, approximately 5 million copies worldwide. It is the first feature drummer Matt Flynn. The band's former drummer, percussionist and background vocalist Ryan Dusick, who officially left the band in 2006 due to serious wrist and shoulder injuries, was credited as the "Musical Director".[The band embarked on the It Won't Be Soon Before Long Tour (2007 2008) to support of the album.- WIKIPEDIA

    a fast-moving collection of fizzy but entertaining come-ons, get-offs, breakups, and makeups.

    Lyrics are a bit more sexual than band's first CD.

    All heartache all the time. Maroon 5 specializes in articulating pain and, to a lesser degree, sexual frustration.

    There's nothing wrong with making music for tweens or lighter-lofting boomers.

  • Boston Globe

    Levine sometimes confuses graphic with sensual and relies far too heavily on knee-jerk rhyme schemes and generic romantic scenarios.

    the band attempt to re-define themselves as camp falsetto popsters
