Product Description

Amazon.co.jp

   ウイングス最大のヒット作にして最高傑作となったアルバム『Band On The Run』(邦題『バンド・オン・ザ・ラン』)の興奮冷めやらぬ時期にリリースされたとあって、本作『Venus & Mars』にはすっかり調子を取り戻したポール・マッカートニーの姿がある。再び黄色い悲鳴を浴びる現役ロック・スターとなったポールは、青春の最後の輝きを楽しんでいるようだ。ファンの歓声は常にポールから最良のものを引き出す。そして本作は、より大きな賞賛を勝ち取っている前作と比べても、ほとんどひけを取らない出来ばえとなった。

   ポールは自らのお気に入りのテーマである“セックス、ドラッグ、ロックン・ロール、そして結婚”から決して離れないが、「Listen To What The Man Said(あの娘におせっかい)」や「Letting Go(ワイン・カラーの少女)」のような華麗で軽快なナンバーに陽気な卑わいさを加味させる手法からは、彼の自信がはっきりと伝わってくる。「Rock Show」は、ザ・フーの「Long Live Rock(不死身のハードロック)」と並ぶ抱腹絶倒の自画自賛ソングとして70年代を代表するものだ。

   本作の楽曲のうちでやや出来の落ちるものは、メロディーとアレンジを事もなげに操るポールの手腕によって救われている。出来のいいものは、ポールが本来の活力を取り戻したことを随所に感じさせる。軽薄で勝手気ままなのに、まったく嫌味がないのだ。ただし、「Crossroads(クロスロードのテーマ)」だけは邪悪な味つけがなされている。(Taylor Parkes, Amazon.co.uk)



From Amazon.co.uk

Released in the glow of Wings' biggest and best album, Band On The Run, Venus & Mars found Paul McCartney in his element--a working rock star, being screamed at again, cheerfully riding the last rays of his youth. Adulation always brought the best out of him, and Venus & Mars is nearly the equal of its more lauded predecessor. McCartney never strays from his favourite themes (sex, drugs, rock & roll and marriage), but his confidence is audibly high, mixing gorgeous, airy production numbers such as "Listen To What The Man Said" and "Letting Go" with the ribald and hilarious. "Rock Show" matches The Who's "Long Live Rock" as the finest and funniest of those self-celebratory Seventies stomps.

McCartney's effortless marshalling of melody and arrangement hoists the blander material out of trouble, and the best stuff's powered by genuine, rediscovered verve. Facile and frivolous, but not at all bad. And their version of the "Crossroads" theme tune is wicked. --Taylor Parkes
