MAROON 5
Overexposed
01. One More Night
One of the standouts from the album, also one of the catchiest. I like the slightly raggae vibes I get from the song.
☆☆☆☆☆
02. Payphone (feat. Wiz Khalifa)
One of the most popular songs from the album, but it actually annoys me a little bit. Hate that there is yet another song with another rapper singing stupid lyrics. It's an okay song, but not fantastic.
☆☆☆
03. Daylight
Before listening to the album and having only heard songs like One More Night, I thought the whole album was going to be really pop rock and upbeat, but I was surprised (in a good way) to hear there's a nice selection of slower and softer tracks. Very nice song.
☆☆☆☆
04. Lucky Strike
Another okay song, nothing too memorable about it. It's still worth a listen.
☆☆☆
05. The Man Who Never Lied
Great chorus, really catchy. Interesting story to follow.
☆☆☆
06. Love Somebody
Nice song, great lyrics in my opinion. However it's not one of those really memorable songs.
☆☆☆
07. Ladykiller
I actually really enjoy this song and think it's one of my favourites. I thought the album would continue with only 'nice' and 'okay' songs but this was a pleasant surprise.
☆☆☆☆☆
08. Fortune Teller
Album drops back into that 'okay' sort of feel. I really, really love the lyrics though.
☆☆☆
09. Sad
Basically just a piano and Adam's voice. Never thought I'd call a Maroon 5 song beautiful, but it is.
☆☆☆☆
10. Tickets
Catchy and infectious. I don't really care for the lyrics too much but the everything else is great.
☆☆☆☆
11. Doin' Dirt
Great song, but again, nothing memorable.
☆☆☆
12. Beautiful Goodbye
This song has a really nice light, kind of summer-y feel to it. I really like it alot.
☆☆☆☆
13. Wipe Your Eyes
Moving into the bonus/extra tracks now and I still wonder why they weren't on the original release of the album? Some of them are better than the album tracks. This song is great and worth a listen.
☆☆☆☆
14. Wasted Years
Yes, yes, yes. I like it alot.
☆☆☆
15. Kiss
This song had a really suprising sound, kind of a retro old bar sort of feel. Lots of pianos, saxaphones and humming guitars. Very good and didn't get bored of it, even considering it's seven minutes long.
☆☆☆☆☆
OVERALL
The album was a solid release, although not fitting into the iconic category (hardly anything does anymore but whatever) it's still a fun and at times, meaningful release.
My top three tracks are One More Night, Kiss and Ladykiller.
