And all these bands, even the Maroon 5, are better than Third Eye Bland.

Agreed.
I think this is Maroon 5's 2nd single. We got some sampler from the album at the college radio station like 2 years ago...its always odd how these sorts of bands catch on (or whatever they do). I think VH1 just played the shit out of their video, much like Jason Mrzrzasa (I don't know if radio was doing this or not). Suddenly there is all these 'funky' white guys and I would like a murder weapon to murder them with.
I checked allmusic and Maroon Five were entitled Kara's Flowers before this with an album under that moniker. Which begs the question which name is more terrible? (x-postish)
Also I am always bothered by allmusic's lack of balls to rip into shitty ass shit like this. Though the review of the last Limp Bizkit album was pretty classic.

Anyway, it's not like a small label can't buy its way up the chart, but it can be a little harder. And Maroon 5, once they got going and found some traction, were able to get onto top 40 radio, where PP and Rooney haven't (although I think Rooney might). Will you be hearing a lot of them for many years to come? Eh. The rest of the album is consistent, they seem to write a decent song, and I hear they're good live. That's how Matchbox 20 started off.

"Octone Records is a NY-based independent record label distributed by BMG Entertainment. The label specializes in developing lifestyle-oriented alternative and rock artists. After initial release, marketing and promotion on Octone, select artists are upstreamed to J Records as part of an exclusive artist development co-venture between J Records and Octone."
Yep, sounds pretty indie to me.

Given PP's 180-degree turn from anything sounding like "California" on their newest album, I think they're aiming for obscurity a la Harvey Danger or the Toadies. Or they're trying to ape Yes New York.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 21 February 2004 17:37 (twenty years ago) link
Distro, maybe, but development? Anyway, I find it hard to believe that Maroon 5 made it onto MTV, VH1, radio, etc., without a big, big push ($$$) from a major label. The question is, if their ghost-underwriter dropped out, would they still do as well? I mean, Ruster Root still tours, as do a host of other like-minded bands, but their profile has dropped precipitously. So will I be hearing Maroon 5 for many years to come? Not likely, unless they stay as high-profile as they currently are, which means major label moo-lah.

It's kind of anonymously inoffsensive and thereby offensive as a result, but then the line "she's naked in my bed" reminds you that Levine is singing this.

Once w/in a 6 mnth period I ran into Adam 3 x’s. Each time he told me the story of how we went on a date when we were 10. Didn’t I remember? He was in love w me. I never called him again apparently. It destroyed him. I didn’t remember. I still don’t.— Katharine Towne (@KatharineTowne) September 20, 2022
Yet each time he told it to me again w more fervor. So excited. Desperate. Until finally the 3rd time at the Rosevelt after saying again I just didn’t recall & leaving him to his models, he walked past me & said,” why do you act like you’re better than everyone.” & flitted away— Katharine Towne (@KatharineTowne) September 20, 2022
