Music like Kara's Flowers

The Fourth World is the second (first professionally released) studio album by the Los Angeles band Kara's Flowers, who later achieved greater success under the name Maroon 5. The album contains 11 tracks, plus one bonus track on the Japanese edition.

The band, which had previously self-released an album called We Like Digging? (1995), signed with Reprise Records and released The Fourth World album on August 19, 1997. However, the band had little success with the album and parted with the record label a year later.

The band continued to explore different musical styles until finally coming together again with James Valentine under the name Maroon 5.

On January 24, 2020, a limited edition of the album was released, with a marbled blue vinyl.
