U2以降、ニルヴァーナ以降、R.E.M.以降……そんな言葉が頭に浮かぶ英国はノッティンガム出身バンドの3枚目。ルーザー感覚にあふれたメロウな歌メロもあれば、ギャンギャンかき鳴らすラウドなギター・ロックもあり。しかし、どちらも借りものの印象だ。
From Amazon.co.uk
The Way I Feel Today is where Six by Seven's career veers off the Radiohead trajectory. Their second album, 2000's brooding and accomplished
The Closer You Get may have drawn parallels with
The Bends, but this new one is no
OK Computer. Instead, the Nottingham band have decided to consolidate their sound, playing up on the big emotional numbers, and are headed for territory occupied by later
Oasis or
Stereophonics when they stop sounding like Rod Stewart. That's not necessarily a bad idea: the moody epic "All My New Best Friends" burns with a slow fuse, like
Embrace are always attempting to do, while "Speed Is In / Speed Is Out" veers erratically between a
Girls Versus Boys glower-fest and straight-edge punk. Any more of this, and they could be filling those vacated stadiums.
