Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

After nearly 20 years together, James at last seem to have created their definitive album in Pleased to Meet You. Linked by themes of addiction, unrequited love, growing-up and parenthood, the album is crammed full of new material that follows the style and formula of some of their greatest work from the last three decades. The songs on Pleased to Meet You were all played out for live audiences before the band entered the studio, making this a tried and tested album but without usual loss of creative autonomy. Booth's trademark lyrics are just as surreal and contemporary as ever--"Junkie" is a weird but sincere attack on capitalism's intensified grip on everyday life, ("chocolate, kisses, Pokémon, hit em' while they're young"). The influence of album producer and long-term collaborator Brian Eno can also be heard from the album starter "Space" to the eerie but ambient overture. The 80s-synth style "Gaudi" is a direct throwback to 1982, the year the band formed. This is a cumulative collection of all that's great about James. --John Galilee

5.0 out of 5 stars 最高傑作という言葉, 2007/8/27
By こやすみちこ (福岡県) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
極まれに、次は一体どういうアルバムを作ればこれを超えられるのだろうかという非の内どころのない作品というものに出会うが、まさにこれがそんな感じで、ジェイムスがこれまでやってきたことを、全て最善の形で音像かすることに成功した素晴らしい作品(2001年作)だ。

プロデュースは前作に引き続き、ブライアン・イーノで、両者の相性の良さが二作目にしてますますうまく機能してきたといった感じだ。ロックとグルーヴのとても自然な融合がここでは聴けるのだが、その完成度たるやプライマルの「エクスターミネーター」とも肩を並べられるほどだと思う。確かにプライマルに比べて、こちらのが地味ではあるが、何度も噛み締めて聴けば、そのバランスの良さや曲の良さに引き込まれいくことは必至だ。日本では、ほとんど売れていないが、日本人の聴き方の悪さがよく出ている象徴的な盤だと思う。プライマル並みとは言わずとも、これが売れていかなかった音楽シーンはやはり不健全だと思う。

5.0 out of 5 stars ベテランによる傑作, 2004/3/1
前進し続けるバンド、ジェームスの2002年作。長年のキャリアが実を結んだ結果が袋小路ではなく、この傑作アルバム。より洗練された音でダイナミックに、そしてカラッと美しい曲を聴かせてくれます。ドラマティックに展開する歌唱は歌心を知ってこそのもの。辞儀麗句をわきまえてはいても型通りにはいかない大人達がいる。ただただ粋がっているのではなく。
