'Payphone' is going to #1 so I think there should be another thread on it.

Not my favourite Maroon 5 song... in fact I think it's pretty damn shit. But it's going to number 1 so yay!

It's an appalling song and is trying far too hard to be the new Moves Like Jagger (which wasn't very good either). Still, it's clearly going to be #1 so I'd better get used to hearing it everywhere.

I agree Payphone is a song they could write in their sleep. It is quite bland and Adam sounds disinterested when singing it. All the songs in Songs about Jane are better than Payphone.

I just don't like the tone of his voice - it really doesn't mesh well with the new sound. It's a very dry voice, and way too wheezy and thin for my liking; he resorts to falsetto far too often, flitting in and out of it whenever he fancies or realises he can belt the louder notes .

I mean, I can't fault the melody, but the genre, the lyrics and the singer are just really naff. Music-as-music-criticism doesn't work if you're confirming to the latest musical trends.

I used to love maroon 5 especially their first album
I haven't bothered with any of their follow up albums just the odd single I really didn't like their singles from the second album although I did fair like "misery" I'm tempted to give this new album a go but I think I'll wait to see what the next single is like before I do

Apparently they've sold about 80,000 in the first three days. Good for them I think they're going to have a big first week's sales.

The song is growing on me. I never liked Moves Like Jagger. This Love is still my favourite Maroon 5 song Loved that song and video.

I wonder if they'll get a page of threads like Cheryl did?
