4.0 out of 5 stars ７０年代最後を飾るRatsの最高傑作！, 2006/3/4
時代とともにスタイルを変えつつキャッチーな曲を提供し続けたブームタウンラッツ。このセカンドアルバムは、ファーストのパンク路線から流行のパワーポップ路線へ少々路線を変更していますが、この後の歴史を見てもやはりこの路線が最も彼らのスタイルにはまっていたのではないかと思います。
日本公演のオープニングでボブ・ゲルドフが時計のように腕を回しながら歌っていた１曲目から、緩急混ぜながら捨て曲なしのパワーポップが続きますが、やはりハイライトは、79年の全英No.1ヒットRat Trap。力を抜いたボブのボーカルとベースリフの気持ち良さから、後半の盛り上がりまでぐいぐいひきつけられる名曲です。結構癖になりますよ。
ブームタウンラッツ、できれば、もう一枚くらいはこの路線を続けてほしかったと思うのは私だけではないと思ってしまう名作です。

5.0 out of 5 stars メンバー全員、超ハイテンションてのがすごいです, 2005/9/10
ボブ・ゲルドフ率いるBOOMTOWN RATSが、いよいよ尋常な集団ではなくなってきたことが決定づけられる、画期的なセカンドアルバム。ファーストの頃は、勢いにまかせて、みたいな感じも受けますが、この作品になると、彼らの「俺達って実はスゲエじゃん、ロック界の頂点に立つぜ！」的な自覚が見えてきます。
「（I NEVER LOVED）EVA BRAUN」が特にすごい。はっきり言って演奏は上手くはない彼らですが、テンションの高さが全てを上回り、とにかくメンバー全員盛り上がりまくってます。これだけ痛烈な歌詞が究極にポップに歌われ、激しいリズムチェンジを経て全力疾走するスタイルは、BOOMTOWN RATSの特権的良さとも言うべきもので、次作「FINE ART OF~」へと引き継がれていきます。
他にも、仕掛け満載の良質なポップナンバー「LIKE CLOCKWORK」、発表当時、彼らの代名詞とも言われた「RAT TRAP」など、優れた作品が収録されています。一般的には「FINE ART~」と同じくらいの評価を得ていたアルバムですので、余計な心配は無用です。是非聴いてみて下さい。
