Album Review: Hands All Over



Adam Levine has possibly one of the coolest, best voices of our generation of rockers. Now, we know Maroon 5's style isn't quite "rock" the way most people think of it, but they do play and write all their music so we consider them a rock band in that sense. This newest release from Maroon 5 will satisfy die-hard fans for sure and may convert some new ones. We don't know if they'll ever be able to top the awesomeness that was 2002's Songs About Jane but their efforts since have been great regardless (compare 2002's "Shiver" to this year's "Stutter"). Hands All Over is no exception. Entirely produced by Robert "Mutt" Lange, this album continues in the same vein as the band's last release, It Won't Be Soon Before Long, and comes equipped with lyrics like "My hands have been bound by the shackles of love" ("How") and a collaboration with Lady Antebellum ("Out of Goodbyes"). We strongly recommend at least a listen.
Most notable tracks: "Hands All Over," "Runaway"
