Music reviews of Songs About Jane
Music Review: Sons of Jane
Rating: 1 Stars
Before Maroon5 set out to make songs about jane, I imagine they had a conversation that sounded something like this:
Maroon 5 Member #1: Well,ain't looking too good boys. What do we do next?
Member #2: Beats me, I'm tapped out.
Member #3: Me too.
Member #1: OK, let's make an album full of weird sounds and moaning. People won't know what to make of it, so they'll say that it's brilliant.
Member #2: Works for me.
Member #3: Excellent.
Alright, they probably didn't have that conversation, but if they did, the result would have been this album. It's tough to find anything to praise about Sons of Jane. How much you'll like it depends on how well you tolerate pretentious art. Do you find meaning and pleasure in a painting consisting of paint balls splatted on canvas? If so, here's the album for you. It's all about atmosphere, apparently. The moody tones, beeps, moans and random horns creating a sense of being stuck in traffic, and all the drivers are wishing they would die. Yippee!
This isn't music, this is atmosphere, and harshly unpleasant atmosphere at that. I'm truly at a loss to describe how mind-numbingly bad this is, but I'll try. If you don't like melody, buy this album. If you like skittering, slithering rythms with nothing else adorning them, buy this album. If you like non-musical bursts and bleeps of sound, buy this album. If you can't stand guitars, audible lyrics, or any identifiable instrument, buy this album.ow, don't give me negative votes for not liking Maroon 5 ok ?
I really listened to this straight, and this album is very boring, meaningless, and weird in a bad way. The vocals are bad, and this is techno. If you like it, that's your business, but I think this is overrated, and very bad.
I tried to get in the album, but it's not very good driving music, or listen-to-it-in-the-kitchen-while-cooking music either. It's like a wall of unmemorable blips and noises that comes off as being very thoughtfully put together, but devoid of emotion and passion. I still have the album (no idea why), I think I'll go trade it in this afternoon. It's bottom of the barrel as far as I'm concerned
Well after many listens I've lost patience and I've come to the conclusion this album is just awful, and there's no doubt that some (not all) of the reviewers here are talking from their rather potent derriere portals. Don't get me wrong... I believe that some of the reviewers really do like this -but I sincerely believe that for some others , if this wasn't Maroon 5, they'd be giving somewhat more critical reviews (and scratching their heads). I'm not some sort of musical expert, but I'll take a wild stab in the dark that you've got to have tunes/melody as a foundation to build the delivery, arrangement and style on(it's why Gary Barlow will always be around). For me, that's where Songs about Jane really fails miserably; it's just not got that strong musical base -rather it's built on a rambling collection of electronic beeps. And I just don't like beeping -and certainly not as a placebo for real tunes. Take away the electronic beat beeping and what have you got? In my opinion a beeping collection of melodies that makes 'n Sync sound like immense musical giants of our age (at least they have harmony, but I dangerously digress).
alright folks, we need to quit listening to the artsy-fartsy critics trying to tell us how "revolutionary" this album is. These critics had led us to believe that it is so amazing that if we do not appreciate it, it's due to our own ignorance for art-rock. After making myself listen to this album just to find some redeeming quality, all I could dig up was the studio musicians they hired to play real instruments, only so they could play with it enough to make it slightly less distinguishable. The lyrics are repetitive, and his voice, quite annoying. Now if the words contained in the booklet underneath the disc-tray were the lyrics in the songs, This would be a wonderful CD, instead it's his whiny voice droning over some electronic noise they must have concocted in just a few hours.
This album is a shining example of how... can save a music lover fromwasting money on over-rated trash. The songs all sound like someonesmoked some crack and entered a recording studio without instrumentsand pushed buttons on every keyboard they could find. Some here callit "abstract"...but I call it unlistenable. This cd is proofthat if critics rave about an album, it's best to leave it in thestore. This group needs to listen to their first album again andremember what it's like to write a "song." This group istrying too hard to be hip and strange, and it leaves the listenerwondering what in the world are these guys smoking or injecting. Atleast U2 stopped their experimenting and recorded a crappy newalbum...
This is trash ~ they ought to give it away for free~ why anyone would pay anything for this is beyond me. Resembles a gang of infants who cut loose on a set of synthesizers. No musical value. For those who buy, do yourself a favor and take some aspirin before you play it, you'll be glad you did.
All I'm saying is that it didn't entertain me - the majority of people out there seem to love it, just like some people love Finnegans Wake, and others don't. Therefore, Songs about Jane is a very subjective album, like English Literature - it can mean a number of things to a number of people. Yet, like English Literature, if one doesn't look for the subtext and the hidden themes, it's just plain boring (see: Middlemarch). Listening to Sons of Jane, I have searched for a subtext but I haven't found one, which probably just boils down to my fledgling perspicacity. As Beth Massa said: "The band's future-perfect musical grammar may be hard to decipher, and the melody is even more subliminal," but I, like many people, don't have the patience to sit and listen to something that fails to at least get my toes tapping or me singing along. So, many people may love subliminal melodies and indecipherable grammar, but not this cowboy.
