the midsummer station に夢中になってしまったので、その勢いでocean eyesも購入しました。
本作中の cave in をはじめとして、曲の凝り方が何十年もミュージシャンをしているような意表をついた
素晴らしい作りで、私の特にお気に入りの the saltwater room は途中から女性のボーカルが入り、もう冷め
てしまった恋愛について感傷的に歌っているんだけど、なんでこんなにグイグイ引き込まれてしまうんだろう。
どう見てもまだ20代のアダム君の作品は一つ一つがAMAZING! scritti polittiのキューピッド&
サイケ85の1985年から四半世紀、こんなにすごい男のコがでてくるなんて感激の一言につきるよね。
ただ、ケチを付ける気は決して全くないが、これはスクポリのミドリちゃん?と勘違いするような声と歌い方
で、もう少しアダム君の自分らしさ・個性があってもいいかなあと思ってしまった。で、それだけにきっと、
スクポリと同じように熱狂的なファンが多そうなだけに、本作のこの路線から外れたことをすると、賛美から
こきおろしの攻撃に変えられるんだろうなと彼のことを心配してしまうが、彼の活躍がとても楽しみだと思って
いるし、それを願ってもいるよ。
最後にfirefliesのメロディーも詞も本当に大好き、でも10×100万匹のホタル、想像するとすごすぎないか?

CDでは特別感(?)がないと思い、アナログ盤を購入。
レコードの音も、もちろん最高です。
驚いたことに、これを買うとMP3ダウンロードクーポンが付いているので、追加料金なしでMP3をダウンロードできるようです。
レコードも、よくある黒色ではなく、白と(透明)青で、見た目も非常によろしい。
CDやPCで聴くのとは違った気分ですね。
手でそっと針を落とすという醍醐味を感じるのが、アナログレコードの違うところです。
カートリッジを変えて聴きなおしたら、また違った感想を持つかもしれません。
重箱の隅をつつくようですが、2つだけ難を言えば、レコードにゆがみがあったことと、紙製ケースの収納が面倒なことぐらいです。
これで☆4つにしましたが、それを気にしなければ、全く問題ありません。最高です。

Adam Youngのソロ・プロジェクトであるOwl Cityのメジャー・デビュー盤。
インディー時代にも何枚か出していて、全米では確固たる人気を確立しているようです。
ドリーミーなエレクトロ・ポップが炸裂していて、躍動感溢れるビートに甘酸っぱいメロディー
そして、エフェクトをかけた伸びのあるヴォーカルが、ジャッケットそのままの夏気分に
させてくれるちょっぴりほろ苦さも加味された100%夏仕様のアルバム。
曲のタイトルも夏を連想させるものばかりで、アコースティック・ギターと切ないメロディー
に女性ヴォーカルのコーラスが溶け合う珠玉のエレクトロ・ポップ"The Saltwater Room"
"Meteor shower"、"On The Wing"、"Fireflies"でのノスタルジックな雰囲気も逸脱!
やや抑揚を抑えたヴォーカルラインと印象的な女性コーラスから後半にかけて、
ビートが加速していく様が気持ち良い"The Tip Of The Iceberg"
キラキラのメロディーが散りばめられた"Vanilla Twilight"、アルバム通して中弛みもなく、
今年の夏のサウンドトラックとしてオススメなアルバム!

Owl City ことAdam Young、彼はソングライターというよりは詩人という表現がぴったり。
サウンドはエレクトリカルで全般を通してキラキラした感じで耳に馴染みやすいです。
そして、メロディーそのものがとても美しい。
その美しいメロディーとは裏腹に内容は深いものです。
IもYouも素直に自分と相手ではなく自然の中の森羅万象を擬人化していたり、歌詞というよりはポエムの世界。ぜひ、Adam Youngの詩の世界を堪能してみてください。
このOcean Eyesに収録されている#3 Hello Seattle, #5 The Saltwater Roomは別アルバムにも収録されていますが、微妙に違っているので、別バージョンと聞き比べるのもおもしろいです。

Oceans Eyes CD album review
2023年6月25日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I've always been a fan of Owl City and was excited to finally get Ocean Eyes Deluxe on CD. My top 3 favorite songs were Tip of the Iceberg, Hello Seattle, and of course Fireflies (who could forget?) I think my 3 least favorite songs on the album were probably The Saltwater Room, Sunburn, and Umbrella Beach.
Ocean Eyes Deluxe Version:
Disc one
1. Cave In: 6/10. I actually do like this song but it wasn't in my top 3.
2. The Bird and the Worm: 7/10. Another good one that you can dance and sing along to but not in my top 3 either.
3. Hello Seattle: 10/10. A great classic song by Owl City that makes me want to go to Seattle!
4. Umbrella Beach: 5/10. Umbrella Beach is an okay song but easy to forget compared to other songs on the album.
5. The Saltwater Room: 4/10. This is my least favorite track on the album, it feels slow and long and drags out a bit too much. I do like the lyrics though.
6. Dental Care: 6/10. If I did a top 5 songs from Ocean Eyes I probably would've put Dental Care on it, it's just such a fun upbeat song that makes me smile!
7. Meteor Shower: 9/10. I absolutely adore this song and almost put it in my top 3. Such powerful music!
8. On The Wing: 6/10. This song is a bit too long for my liking but I do like the melody.
9. Fireflies: 10/10. So nostalgic and awesome to listen to, clever lyrics and memorable synths that will be in my memory forever!
10. Tip of the Iceberg: 10/10. This is my favorite song on the album by far both lyrics wise and music wise. Such a delight to listen too and I never get tired of hearing it!
11. Vanilla Twilight: 8/10. A great track but a bit too slow on the buildup.
12. Tidal Wave: 7/10. Sometimes I forget about Tidal Wave but it's okay to listen to.
Disc two
1. Hot Air Balloon: 8/10. Love this song! The lyrics on this track are so creative and inspire adventure.
2. Butterfly Wings: 5/10. An easy to forget song but not bad.
3. Rugs from Me to You: 6/10. I find the lyrics for this track a bit silly and hilarious but enjoyable at the same time.
4. Sunburn: 5/10. Personally I didn't like this song and thought it was a bit bland but that's just my opinion.
5. Hello Seattle - Remix: 7/10. Wish this song had words as its a Remix of its original version but the piano in it sounds beautiful.
6. If My Heart was a House: 8/10. A sweet, beautiful song that has wonderful lyrics and melodies.
7. Strawberry Avalanche: 5/10. Again, not one of my favorites but still okay.
In the end I will always love Owl City and his music no matter what!

One of my favorite albums - Pure Brilliance
2010年2月25日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Like many people, I first found out about Owl City after Fireflies, the first single from this album, was released in 2009. After hearing how different of a song it was, I made sure to look up Ocean Eyes, and listen to the album. Every song is in its own little universe, and you cannot help but feel completely elated whilst listening to it. I owned the album for months and never got sick of it, and now that the deluxe edition has been released, it has breathed even more fresh air into what is one of the best albums of 2009, in my opinion. For the deluxe, there are 6 new songs, including a Hello Seattle remix which takes my breath away.
Hot Air Balloon - My favorite new song on the extra disc. It instantly starts out the collection of new songs with an entirely positive energy and uplifting lyrics, which are bound to pull you from a depressing mood and get you dancing. 10/10
Butterfly Wings - While a lot of the songs from Ocean Eyes sound more "produced" than Adam Young's older works (such as his EP, Of June), this song leans more towards his older songs then anything else. However, it still retains that classic happy-go-lucky mood and is a welcome edition to the newer songs. 7/10
Rugs From Me To You - Even though this song only clocks in at 1:28, it impressed me from the very first second. In fact, it was a bit shocking how different it sounded from the other songs, and in a good way. A very welcome change that gives more diversity to the album if you ask me. 9/10
Sunburn - Nice chill song, perfect for summer. I can't wait to play this song (as well as the entire deluxe edition album) at the beach, exercising outside, exc. Also, this song was on the soundtrack for 90210. 8/10
Hello Seattle (Remix) - Surprisingly, my favorite from the 7 songs, and one of my favorites from the entire Ocean Eyes album. Even though the song is just a remix of the classic Owl City song, Hello Seattle, the entire production is just magnificent. As someone who doesn't normally like remixes and thinks they sound too similar, this remix sets such a electronic tone that I still have it on constant repeat. The beginning starts off nice and slow with a piano rendition of the song, then progresses slowly into a more upbeat melody, then finally topping off the song with electronic and dance beats that would make anyone want to dance or jam out. My one problem with it, is that it is mostly just the beat, and no words besides about five chants of Hello Seattle from the original song. 10/10
If My Heart Was a House - A slower jam from the album, but still great of course. The lyrics definitely are more traditional then the rest of the songs, but still make for a romantic song that I pleasantly enjoy. 8/10
Strawberry Avalanche - Definitely a favorite from the album, for sure. The upbeat tone is back, and makes me float away into a sea of strawberries. Definite summer song, and makes me excited for strawberries in the summer. Love it! 10/10
Overall, the original album by itself was incredible, but the deluxe edition's 7 songs definitely hold their own up to the first 12 sounds. Sometimes these deluxe editions give you 1 or 2 subpar songs that are just being released to make money, but not with Owl City! For anyone who desperately needs a break from the overall negative tone of music being put out there these days, but still want a nice beat that will make them want to dance and sing, Ocean Eyes is the album for them. In fact, it's an album for anyone really.
We all need some positivity in our lives, and listening to Owl City will for sure put you into such a happy, on top of the world mood. Perfect for kids and adults, I'm so happy that music like this is finally getting exposure to Top 40 radio and music in general. Go Owl City!

Frisch, luftig, locker...traumhaft !
2010年2月25日にドイツでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Das ist das erste komplette Album, welches ich mir als Download gekauft habe.
Der Mehrpreis gegenüber dem normalen Album war gering, die zusätzlichen
Titel werten das Album nochmals auf. Obwohl es sich ausschließlich um
elektronisch erzeugte Klänge handelt, strahlt die Musik eine angenehme
Wärme aus, sie weht durch die Ohren, wie warme Somemrluft.
Die Titel im Spiegel der Einzelkritik:
1. Cave in - schwungvoller Opener, gut gemacht 7/10
2. The Bird and the worm - drolliger Text, dazu gute Musik 8/10
3. Hello Seattle - der 1. große Hammerhit, eine raffinierte Komposition,
welche nicht nach Strophe-Refrain-Rhytmus aufgebaut ist, sondern eher
2 gute Refrains hintereinander abspult, klare 10/10 Punkte
4. Umbrella Beach - etwas discolastig, clever eingebaute Tempowechsel,
verschiedene Instrumentensoli lassen auch diesen Track aufwändig
und kreativ klingen 8/10
5. The saltwater room - das erste langsamere Stück, hier wird der Anlauf genommen
für das fantastische "Fireflies", schöner Refrain, bei welchem offenbar auch
eine Frau mitsingt 9/10
6. Dental Care - es ist die selbe Richtung, die selbe Stimme, trotzdem: auch dieser
Titel kann überzeugen 8/10
7. Meteor Shower - fängt ruhig und getragen an, um dann wieder einen hammermäßigen
Refrain rauszuballern, großes Kino, leider etwas kurz 10/10
8. On the wing - das Feuerwerk an fantastischer Musik brennt weiter, diesmal
mit über 5 Minuten lange ! es sind hier die verbindenen Musikelemente zwischen
Strophen und Gesang, welche besonders hervorstechen 9/10
9. Fireflies - ein perfekter Popsong, alles stimmt, ganz klare 10/10
10. The Tip of the Iceberg - was soll noch Fireflies noch kommen können ?
der Track bemüht sich zunächst um Gelassenheit (das Auslaufen von Fireflies),
um dann eine Melodie abzufeuern, welche etwas an Techno-Zeiten erinnert, aber viel
lieblicher, schwungvoller und vor allem nicht so seelenlos klingt 8/10
11. Vanilla Twiligth - epische Breitwand-Ballade, wieder sehr gut 9/10
12. Tidal Wave - ein "nur" normaler Track am Ende 6/10
Zusätzliche Tracks ( oder CD2 )
13. Hot air balloon - noch ein Hit a la "Fireflies", Wahnsinn !! 10/10
14. Butterfly wings - wieder eine tolle Melodie, ohne richtigen Refrain, aber
trotzdem sehr gut 8/10
15. Rugs from me to you - kurz und prägnant, fängt karnevalesk mit eine Art Akkordeon
an 8/10
16. Sunburn - der richtige Start am Morgen, sonnig, hell, klar 9/10
17. Hello Seattle (Remix)- sinnvolle Maxi zu dem Hit, die Melodie baut sich in einem
über 2 Min. langem Instrumental auf, der Titel bekommt einen neuen disolastigen,
tanzbaren Anstrich 10/10
18. If my heart was a house - sehr schöne Ballade zum Schluß, zum Träumen, nach dem Muster
von "Meteor shower" wird ein klasse Refrain rausgeballert 9/10
19. Strawberry avalon - gut, aber ohne Eigenständigkeit, man hat das Gefühl, dass einige
gute Melodien anderer Tracks lediglich neu verrührt wurden 6/10
Man muß dem Album schon eine Weile zuhören können, um die Melodien zu entdecken.
Wer zuhören kann, wird an dieser Platte lange Freude haben. Ganz klare Kaufempfehlung !

19. Strawberry avalon - gut, aber ohne Eigenständigkeit, man hat das Gefühl, dass einige
gute Melodien anderer Tracks lediglich neu verrührt wurden 6/10
Man muß dem Album schon eine Weile zuhören können, um die Melodien zu entdecken.
Wer zuhören kann, wird an dieser Platte lange Freude haben. Ganz klare Kaufempfehlung !

Amazing artist, poor record

I bought the record because owl city is one of my all time favorite artists, unfortunately the sound quality is poor, it's very staticy sounding... Besides the small buzzing in the background it still sounds great to hear owl city through a record lol
(Out of all the other records I own, this is the only record that makes the buzzing sound)
