Product Description

From Amazon.com

Three albums in, and Stereophonics have written their first truly mature work, Just Enough Education to Perform. While the Welsh trio's first two albums were blighted by the occasional spot of facile pub-rock tub-thumping, which served only to dilute Kelly Jones's emotive laments into ear candy, Just Enough Education to Perform evokes the ragged croak of early Rod Stewart or the world-weary country lament of Neil Young without feeling the need to unnecessarily embellish its content. It's not all good: the album's first single, "Mr. Writer"--a stab at dismissive music journalists--is, ironically, petulant and unwieldy, spoiled by Jones's clunky lyric: "You've just enough, in my own view, education to perform/ I'd like to shoot you all." Far more successful are the simple semi-acoustic readings of "Nice to Be Out", "Step on My Old Size Nines," and "Lying in the Sun," which prove that, stripped down, Jones can match most singer-songwriters of an alt-country persuasion without breaking into a sweat. By this time in their career, Oasis began losing themselves in bland bombast and a fog of hollow guitar solos; to their credit, on Just Enough Education to Perform, Stereophonics do not let fame cloud the clarity of the record's meaning. --Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars 明るいケリージョーンズ君?, 2005/6/25
カッコイイ音を追求し続けるStereophonicsのアルバムの中では、最もコマーシャル色の濃い一枚だと思います。アルバム中全曲を通して、明るい温か味を感じる、ある意味彼らの故郷を思わせる仕上がりになっていると思う。陽だまりが目に浮かぶような2や、本国UKでコマーシャルにも使われた5とか、雨が降るウェールズの鄙びたキャラバンに閉じ込められた姿が浮かぶ10曲目などが個人的にはお薦めです。

でもこの輸入盤より、ロッド・スチュワートが歌ったHandbags and Gladragsのカバーが入ってるUK盤の方がいいかも。ボーカルのケリージョーンズのハスキーボイスが何ともいい味を出してます。ロッド翁が悔しそうに云った「でも、ボクが最初に歌ったんだからね」とのオスミ付きです。

Stereophonicsの第一期の究極と云っても良いアルバムだと思います。ケリーのボーカルの味を楽しむのには適した一枚です。彼らの初期作品Word Gets Aroundが好きな人には馴染みやすいと思います。逆に最新作のLanguage~を聴いて初めて知った人には、彼らの今の音との違いを知る意味でもお薦めできます。知らない内に繰り返し聴きたくなる事請け合いです。

5.0 out of 5 stars すんごくいい!, 2001/6/17
By A Customer
やられた~って感じ。さりげなく、でも確実に全曲聞きほれてしまう。声がね、とってもいいよ。気が付くと横揺れしてる。さりげない、ROCKで、さりげなく、音が流れて、しかも完成度がとても高いバンドです。
