"Wake Up Call" is a catchy song. The melody alone is worth the price of the song. It's got a good beat. Adam Levine sings from the perspective of a man finding his girlfriend in bed with another man ("six foot tall" according to the lyrics-is Levine pint-sized?) It's almost reggae,almost ska... and it works. It's also one of those old-school (VERY old school) "murder ballads." It hits on an ancient theme,like the story of Paolo&Francesca in Dante's "Inferno",in which Francesca's hunchbacked husband slays the adulterous lovers.

"Wake Up Call" isn't the best of Maroon 5's tunes but they've got the beat,beat,beat,they've got the beat.

When it comes to making great pop/rock music, no group has been able to feel as a great guilty pleasure like Maroon 5. Although it has been so long since they've made a great song, they still know what it really takes. Wake Up Call, the secong single from their sophmore album It Won't Be Soon Before Long is a very upbeat driven song that remains as deep of a staple to what Adam and the band had captured to fans alike for the past several years. It really is a great track from the album, while the lyrics showcase a man who is scorned from a cheating so-called significant other. I hope Maroon 5 can make another great single like this.

Song: B 1/2-
