Maroon 5 Songs About Jane

It seems that the new Maroon 5 song will be called "In the Garage of the Hospital" and that Nek is preparing an Italian multi-dialect version, of which I'll leave you to imagine the title. LONG LIVE MAROON 5 ALWAYS AND FOREVER - FUCK THE REST EXCEPT BON JOVI.

Response to the response to the rosablu (?) josi_: I understand, and I agree. I venture another possible factor. The names just mentioned (as I like to say, just mentioned) are nevertheless big names, names - forgive me, this is not a judgment of merit obviously - pop. If one approaches "classical" music, one cannot avoid encountering these names (I'm also referring to Puccini and Wagner, you know). But according to this reasoning, it's not just certain lyrical works that would be underrepresented, but also a lot of classical music, from Smetana to Messiaen, from Ives to Britten. It's a matter of exposure (as usual) as well as content.

So, from the first page of Google results. Indiezone (?) tears it apart, claiming to be annoyed and bored by the electronic inserts and Fog's voice. Well, tastes. Then there's a review from the CityPages of Minneapolis (his hometown), quite authoritative, huh. Let's move to something more serious, Pitchfork: notoriously not known for being lenient, gives it a nice 6.8, which doesn’t seem like a real trashing to me. Stylus Magazine (?) isn’t satisfied because it expected a big record, the classic; and once again says that Andrew's voice ruins everything, too devoid of vitality. They don't realize it's a hallmark of his style; but still, tastes. Billboard has a positive take, although it prefers the earlier works.
Oh well, then there's the precise trashing from the anonymous reviewer above who argues their verdict in too much detail.

Universally panned? :) Wow, is it Madonna's latest that the universal critics are concerned about reviewing? You've piqued my curiosity; now I'll look for some reviews.

And here we go with the first review of opera. A round of applause for the rosanero :) One thing is unclear to me: the reference to the musical language of opera as an obstacle to its enjoyment. You say it doesn’t lend itself to constant and attentive listening, and that’s true, but it’s often true for the forms of symphony, sonata, concerto, right?
