Nov 12, 2017Red Pill Blues extends on Maroon 5's mediocrity. Instead of going for the usual rock and sometimes pop crossovers this album goes full electropop and Adam Levine is not flattering with that sound. What Lovers Do is a catchy song but it still is just not as good as their old work. This album is for sure a skip.

Jan 3, 2018I really wanted to give this album a chance, but it is just plain bad. Maroon 5 have been on a rapid decline over the past few years, and "Songs About Jane" is still their shining achievement.

Aug 16, 2020Sorry, but this sucks. I've always been a massive Maroon 5 fan, and I love all of their previous albums very much, but this just isn't it. It's generic, boring, too long and just BAD.
The only thing stopping it from getting a lower score are the singles which were all pretty good and enjoyable, but yeah overall this album is not good at all. -
Jun 3, 2021Maroon 5 manages to descend from making extremely boring, alright music to making you want to fall asleep.
FAV TRACK: Girls Like You
LEAST FAV TRACK: Visions -
Nov 3, 2017Maroon 5 has now to succumbed to generic mainstream trash. Anyone who is expecting for the old sound will be deeply upset by the direction they have taken.

Dec 24, 2017I used to wait for this album and think that it would be so unexpected... However, I overestimated it so much. It's like you're listening to the same song all the time. They're all so similar. Sad.

May 11, 2018The worst album I've ever heard in the pop genre. It was awful.The sound of Adam is good on this album, but the lyrics and performance of other members of the band are catastrophic.

Dec 25, 2018Changes for the worse. Degradation. It seems that this is the beginning of the end of the once beautiful band. Where did the drive, corporate identity? I do not understand why they need 7 people. For such a "music" enough three.

Aug 30, 2021As a huge fan of Maroon 5's pre-"Moves Like Jagger" work, this has got to be the worst album I have ever forced myself to sit through in full. Their new album "Jordi" came out this year and I just couldn't even force myself to give it a listen. What a disgraceful fall from a band that once created a 10/10 album in Songs About Jane.

Nov 8, 2017Levine’s voice murmurs and glints in the corners of the arrangement, and the total effect is exactly as pleasingly immaculate and numbing as all soft rock should be.
-
Nov 6, 2017Whether skating over house beats on "Plastic Rose" or cruising through a ballad like "Denim Jacket," Levine proves himself a pliant star of Jacksonian ease and Stingly self-assurance.

Nov 6, 2017With Red Pill Blues Levine and co have managed to produce an album that is uninteresting and unexciting; at best this is background music, to be listened to on very, very low volume, or even better, not at all.
