Maroon 5 released their much anticipated cd, Hands All Over, on September 21. This is Maroon 5’s third cd released since the band became established in 2001. Hands All Over was created in Switzerland after the band did their college tour in 2009. The cd has a very easy beat throughout the whole album that makes it easy to dance to, with a mixture of songs that remind people of anything from being in love to a break-up.

There were two cd’s that were released on the twenty-first: the regular cd and the deluxe version. The regular cd has 12 songs on it, while the deluxe version has an extra five tracks including, “Last Chance,” “No Curtin Call,” “Never Gonna Leave this Bed- Acoustic Version,” “Misery- Acoustic Version,” and “If I Ain’t Got You.” If the cd was pre-ordered, then that one came with an additional track: “The Air that I Breathe.”

“Misery” was the first released track on June 22, through a music video which gave the first glimpse of the Hands All Over cd. Then, “Give a Little More” released on September 8 through a music video also a few weeks before Hands All Over was released. “Stutter” is the third song on the album and is very upbeat and has great lyrics about being the only girl for a guy that he is crazy about. “Hands All Over” is the seventh track of the album and has a very sexual subject matter, with a very danceable beat to it. “No Curtin Call” is on the deluxe version of the cd. This song also has very catchy lyrics to it with an awesome beat as well.

Overall, the new Maroon 5 cd, Hands All Over is an example of Maroon 5’s style of music with different subject matters and style of songs. If you are interested in buying this cd you can get it on iTunes, at Target, and Wal-Mart. But I would suggest getting the deluxe edition for more of the awesome Maroon 5 songs.
