I forgot to mention that something that bothers me on an artistic level (if that term may even be applied here) is that Maroon 5 doesn't even write their own songs anymore: they just brought in outside writers to pen songs for their latest album
Is that some sort of acknowledgement on the part of Adam Levine that he wasn't capable of creating anything quality on his own anymore? Songs About Jane and It Won't Be Soon Before Long showed that he used to be able to write songs (I didn't like those albums in particular, but they were better than "Payphone" and "One More Night". They also didn't have Wiz Khalifa)
