Let me preface this review by saying I’m not a rabid Dave Matthews Band fan. Overall, I was mildly disappointed by parts of “Overexposed,” but would still recommend downloading the album. Honestly, his verse sounds like a third grader’s Mad Lib, if the only words they could use were money, cars and a few phrases the child’s teacher would likely classify as “potty language.” At the end of the day, there was simply no place for Wiz Khalifa on such a benign and lighthearted track. Khalifa, but spewing lyrical garbage on a Maroon 5 song is probably not the best way to shut them up. In my opinion, what could have been a good yet overplayed song is marred by the brilliant, thoughtful lyrics of Wiz Khalifa, who spends a solid 30 seconds of “Payphone” cussing and griping about his haters. It may not be my favorite song, but a review of “Overexposed” would be incomplete without a discussion of the smash hit, “Payphone.” I’m surprised Adam Levine has any problems with women to write about, though, since I know plenty of girls who would fight to the death Hunger Games-style for the chance to date him. “Daylight” and “The Man Who Never Lied” are also enjoyable songs echoing Levine’s recent relationship problems.

Maroon 5 haters, go ahead and pass this review over, but since “She Will Be Loved” was the first song I ever downloaded, I feel I have an obligation to talk about the band’s latest album “Overexposed.”īlunders aside ( “Ladykiller,” “Fortune Teller”), Adam Levine and company really shine in a number of songs, especially “One More Night,” a catchy track describing a man’s desperate attempt to free himself from a dysfunctional relationship.
