Product Description
Amazon.co.jp
イギリスの暗黒時代である1980年代から卒業できないままでいる、不精な口ひげを青々と伸ばした頭の悪い野郎どものバンド、それがアイアン・メイデンだ――ついこんな風に書いてしまいそうになる。彼らはアホ丸出しで時代錯誤的だった。まさに映画『スパイナル・タップ』を地で行く騒音バンドぶり。おまけに、彼らには成長というものがまるで見られなかった。
だが、アイアン・メイデンは今もマジでロックしている。以前と同じように暴れ回っている。そのうえ、この『Powerslave』は、その度を越した仰々しさと悲壮美ゆえに、まさしく彼らの最高傑作と断言できるアルバムとなっているのだ。まるでこん棒で殴られたかのような強烈さがたまらない。異常な速さ、凶暴なリフ、果てしない反復、壮大で身の毛もよだつ歌詞。
「ずらりと並んだ死体袋、そして真っぷたつにされた子どもたちを包む小さなボロ切れ ／ 生き残った連中は脳がドロドロ、お前を襲いに向かってくる」（The body bags and little rags of children torn in two / And the jellied brains of those who remain, to put the finger right on you）――実に魅力的だ。とてつもなくバカバカしいが、素敵に光り輝いてもいる。（Taylor Parkes, Amazon.co.uk）
From Amazon.co.uk
It's way too easy to write off Iron Maiden as the preserve of maladjusted boys with fluffy, budding moustaches, stuck in the murk of the British 1980s. They were preposterous, they were anachronistic--in utterly appropriate Spinal Tap terms--and their growth rate could not even be charted. But they really do rock, which, as ever, lets them off the hook. Besides which, Powerslave is arguably the best Maiden album precisely because it's so bombastic and lugubrious; it achieves its effect with bludgeoning tactics. Obsessively fast and brutal riffing, interminable repetition and lyrics so epic and gruesome they're irresistible ("The body bags and little rags of children torn in two/And the jellied brains of those who remain, to put the finger right on you"). Grand and absurd, it's also pretty brilliant. --Taylor Parkes
