Product Description
Amazon.co.jp
デビュー・アルバムをリリースする前からメディアで話題になっていたザ・ストロークスが、そのタイトルを『Is This It』としたのは最適だった。2枚のシングルで5曲を発表していた彼らは、ロックンロール界の救世主として支持されていた。この若き5人組の先を行くようなハイレベルなバンドはほとんどいなかったが、それは心配には及ばなかった。『Is This It?』は、長らく静かだったニューヨークのクラブシーン発の最もエキサイティングでエネルギッシュなアルバムになった。事実、ザ・ストロークスは、ヴェルヴェット・アンダーグラウンドと同じで生粋のニューヨークのバンドだった。セックス、ドラッグ、ロックといったお決まりのものを求めてダウンタウンに集まった、上流階級の息子たちで結成されていた。ボーカルと作詞作曲を担当したジュリアン・カサブランカスは、年齢には合わないほど落ち着いた声で、タイトルとなった『Is This It』、『Soma』、『Hard to Explain』を歌い上げた。『Barely Legal』は、TelevisionやStoogesの『NYC Cops』、『Last Night』、『The Modern Age』を思わせ、素晴らしい。セクシーでスタイリッシュで最高にクールなザ・ストロークスは、ロックンロールの未来の姿だろう。Robert Burrow
From Amazon.co.uk
With all the media hype that dogged the Strokes before the release of their debut album, it's rather apt that they chose the title Is This It?. On the strength of just five songs, released over two singles, the Strokes were being hailed as everything from the saviours of rock & roll to the Saviour Himself. Surely, few bands could live up to the impossibly high standards set for this young five-piece, but they needn't have worried: Is This It? is one of the most exciting and energetic debut albums to spring from New York's long-dormant club scene. In fact, the Strokes are a New York City band through-and-through; like the Velvet Underground, these are a bunch of uptown artsy types elegantly slumming downtown to the tried-and-tested themes of sex, drugs and rock & roll. Their singer/songwriter, the fantastically named Julian Casablancas, delivers his lyrics with a weary nonchalance that belies his age on songs such as the title track, "Soma", "Hard to Explain" and the altogether wonderful "Barely Legal", while the band recall the likes of Television and the Stooges on "NYC Cops", "Last Night" and "The Modern Age". Sexy, stylish and undeniably cool, here's hoping that the Strokes are the future of rock & roll. --Robert Burrow
