After the award-winning album 'Songs about Jane', Maroon 5 is back with their second hit

album, 'It Won't Be Soon Before Long', albeit after quite a

long time. Album cover is packaged in a more stylish way,

and with all members sporting long hair except for lead

Adam Levine, it is quite a different image portrayed. Hit song

'Makes Me Wonder' doesn't impress me the most, though

these fast numbers are really catchy, along with the groovy 'Wake up call' and 'Little of your

time'. 'Won't go home without you' depicts the regret of lost love in a unique and beautiful

melody. I still prefer the slower ballads which they bring out so well - 'Nothing Lasts

Forever','Not Falling Apart','Better That We  Break' etc. The emo piece 'Goodnight

Goodnight' and the jazzy 'Back At Your Door' really keeps you humming along. Overall

it is much more explicit than in the previous album, esp in 'Kiwi'. Still the nice tunes will

keep you listening to the CD over and over again, at least it was worth it for me. Bought

the Maroon 5 shirt for just $1 along with the cd too!

What is the world or rather our climate coming to? Freak weather everywhere,

from a snowless Japan to hurricanes in the Americas, floods in India to lack

of glaciers in New Zealand. And 2006 being the hottest year in record for

128 years...Inconsiderate Man has caused global warming to take its toll, albeit

at a fast rate and with scary consequences.

It is to the extent of seeing news about the climate crisis practically everyday, with

people left to deal with the abnormalities the freak weather has caused to their

lives. We all know the Day After Tomorrow will come eventually as Man

continues to harm Mother Earth, but I did not expect it to be this soon.

She is unleashing her wrath, in response to our abusal of her precious

resources that were only meant to not provide for our selfish desires.

Freak weather=deaths, is it near the end of the world too? I want to

have a chance to appreciate nature at its best, so let us all do our

part to prevent this beauty from dying. Do our part to stop global

warming.

The Considerate Man changes himself to suit the world; The

Inconsiderate Man changes the world to suit himself.
