It Won't Be Soon Before Long is the second studio album by American pop rock band Maroon 5. It was released on May 16, 2007, by A&M Octone Records, as the follow-up to their debut album, Songs About Jane (2002). The name was inspired by a phrase the band adopted to keep themselves motivated while on their tour.

Contents

The album debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling around 430,000 copies in its first week. [6] It is the first to feature drummer Matt Flynn. The band's former drummer, percussionist and background vocalist Ryan Dusick, who officially left the band in 2006 due to serious wrist and shoulder injuries, was credited as the "Musical Director". [7]

Background

During the recording sessions for It Won't Be Soon Before Long, the band not only recorded the 12 songs on the album, but also an additional 7 tracks. The extra songs were featured as B-sides to the album's singles, and later on The B-Side Collection . The band stated in interviews that the album has a different feel to it from their 2002 debut album Songs About Jane . The songs are not all based on one specific relationship, as in Jane, and also have a different sound than their first album, being more electric and drawing inspiration from such artists as Talking Heads, Michael Jackson and Prince. Guitarist James Valentine stated that the goal was to make the songs sound more "up-tempo" than the ones on their previous record. [8] A review written prior to the album's release described the songs as having a very retro feel. [9] Adam Levine explained that this record is a little more self-confident and powerful lyrically: "...you can dance to it, there's a little more attitude." [10]

According to Levine, working with other artists had influences on the album: "Kanye West and Alicia Keys are amazing talents, in totally different ways. Just seeing such amazing people working in the studio. I definitely took things away from them." [11]

The chorus of "Nothing Lasts Forever" is the same as the one used in the Kanye West single "Heard 'Em Say", which features Adam Levine, with exclusion to the line: "...the distance between us makes it so hard to stay...". [12]

Commercial reception

It Won't Be Soon Before Long debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 429,000 copies in its first week of release. It Won't Be Soon Before Long sold 102,000 copies digitally, breaking a record set the week before when Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight (Machine Shop/Warner Bros.) moved 84,000 via that format to debut at No. 1. The latter album slips to No. 2 this week with 198,000, a 68% sales decline. In December 2007, the album ranked number one for iTunes top best selling albums of 2007. [13]

In the UK, it became their second album to reach the number one spot, but their first to debut atop the UK Albums Chart. In Australia, it peaked at number five, lower than their first studio album Songs About Jane, which peaked at number one in 2004. It peaked at number two on the Canadian Albums Chart and New Zealand, number three in Ireland, Japan and Mexico, number five in Australia and Taiwan, and number six in Italy, Spain and Switzerland.
