Product Description
Amazon.co.jp
全米ナンバー・ワンになった「サウンド・オブ・サイレンス」を含む66年発表の2ndアルバム。その「サウンド・オブ・サイレンス」は全然ヒットしなかった64年発表の1stアルバム『水曜の朝、午前3時』に収録されていたオリジナル・ヴァージョンにプロデューサーがアーティスト本人に無断でエレキ・ギターやドラムなどを重ねたことは有名な話。ポール・サイモンは激怒したらしいが、何が幸いするかわからない。「サウンド・オブ・サイレンス」のヒットを追いかけるように作られたこのフォーク・ロック路線のアルバムは大ヒット、彼らの人気を確立した。「4月になれば彼女は」、後にホリーズが取り上げる「アイム・ア・ロック」など、「サウンド・オブ・サイレンス」以外にも名曲が収録されたフォーク・ロックの名盤。繊細さと力強さが交錯するハーモニーがいい。（山口智男）
From Amazon.com
One suspects that Paul Simon cringes a bit when he listens to Simon & Garfunkel's 1966 breakthrough release. Lines from "I Am a Rock" ("For a rock feels no pain / And an island never cries") and the title track ("Fools, said I, you do not know / Silence like a cancer grows") are the essence of sophomoric poetry. And who but a couple of self-serious young men would sequence the suicide odes "Richard Cory" and "A Most Peculiar Man" back to back? That said, every callow couplet found here is counterbalanced by words that are disarmingly guileless. The unabashed romanticism of "Kathy's Song" is truly poignant; it ranks with "For Emily" and "The Only Living Boy in New York" among the duo's most resplendent performances. "April Come She Will" has a similar innocent appeal, while the title track, despite its overwrought moments and Tom Wilson's tacked-on production, is a folk-rock landmark. It's not hard to find fault with The Sounds of Silence, but it's easier still to bask in its inchoate splendor. (The 2001 reissue adds the bonus track "The Blues Run the Game" plus three unreleased 1970 demos.) --Steven Stolder
