Maroon 5 ft. Future - Cold Track Review


Let me take you back to the 2000's, the decade of the first millenia, F1 is getting more and more boring, hip-hop and RnB dominating the music scene, cartoon were on an all time low, and rock is very unique at this time. From Nu-Metal in early parts of the decade, Alternative and Punk scene in mid 2000's and all of that got squandered by the end of the decade with sterile adult alternative. Now I'm gonna look back at one of the band that was mildly successful at that time, Maroon 5. They were a project band made by Adam Levine in the early 2000's and were successful at that time. But 2010's happened and their sounds got more and more sterile and lacking some sort of elegance to it or should I say that they were a sell out craping out mediocre after mediocre singles that seems goes further and further into full pop.

And their 2016 offering Don't Wanna Know, is probably their full on pop phase has completed. not only there's practically any guitar in the mix except for the chorus, but it's a tropical song about Adam Levine pissiness for his ex-girlfriend about her new boyfriend that has the worst Kendrick Lamar verses I've ever heard since Give It 2 U.

And it seems like with this newest single featuring the overrated Future, it seems that the trends hasn't change because make no mistake, this song's sucks balls. Let's talk about the production here which is abysmal. Who in the right mind comparing Adam Levine with these bass saturated dreck that has any resemblance of rock. There's barely any melody other than the chorus but that mostly because of the synth that tried so hard to carrying the song but fails miserably. You can find the guitar except it so muted that you can barely recognize them. the percussion is probably the worst part for me because how much it sounds so thin and flair that it might be fake.

And speaking of fake, these two guys performance are godawful. Adam Levine might be sounds fine but his whine as he proceed to diss his ex is pathetic. You can go either way to get me sympathize with your break-up, either you have to be angry to your ex and detailed how bad her behavior is or just accepting to the fact that you're wrong. Both of these asshole did neither of those and just rambling on how this girl is gold digging cold blooded demon. I mean that's what I get from these guys and I can't support their action here.

Also there's Future here being himself. This guy bars sucks so hard that his vocals get slightly pitched up for some reason here and NO AUTO TUNE!!!!!!

In short this is just another attempt from Adam Levine to keep himself relevant by releasing easy listening garbage that gonna be played because of the name recognition. I would rate this 0/5 and definitely no recommendation.
