Ho hum.

Great band when they started, starting to think the fame went to head, culminating in extremely forced lyrics - "I must make these lyrics clever!" - but in fact, it's nowhere near as lyrically good as the first album, which was inspired. 

Everybody in my church loves this song...

What a tremendously unreasonable reply.  You are the only one implying that I don't like it because its popular.  A cursory glance at my tatses via my ratings will show that I care little whether other people get into something as to whether I like it.  I care about the quality of the music and this band is such a tremendous let down to produce this schlock Matchbox 74ish rubbish after they had such passion and ability for 2 albums.  Your man at the front even did that cool side project thing with the tanks in the film clip.  Sorry but this totally stinks and there are plenty of talented bands with English accents if that is all it takes to float your boat.

Also it is nowhere near the quality of recent music which absolutely does not require air quotes.  If you haven't been hearing good music and want to settle I feel sorry for you.  perhaps you should try the Black Keys, First Aid Kit, Anna Ternheim, The National, Boy and Bearor any one of the many fine examples of recent music played here.

Can't decide which is worse, the band name or the lyrics.  I'm calling it a dead heat at 2.

I like this better than anything from their first record.

Heard the opening click of the sticks and was really hoping to hear Precious.

I would probably like this song more if that weren't so.

I think I liked this about the 1st 30 times I heard it....but it's starting to get on my nerves now...

I don't think Maroon 5 can play anything well. As far as the Arctic Monkeys go, though, this is not one of their better efforts in my book. It lacks the edge that attracted me to them in the first place.  Still, as you so aptly pointed out, it's a lot better than most of the "music" out there right now.

One of those eh? If it's accessible to the hoi polloi, it must be trash.  There's nothing generic to this... I'd love to see say Maroon 5 attempt to play this song this well.

The more I hear this, the more I like it. Reminds me a little of The Church ( a favorite). Maybe it's the jangly guitar, but it's something in the vocals, too. A 7 from me.
