商品の説明
Deluxe edition includes bonus tracks and expanded packaging. 2017 release, the 14th studio album from the Irish quartet. Songs of Experience was produced by Jacknife Lee and Ryan Tedder with Steve Lillywhite, Andy Barlow, and Jolyon Thomas. The album is intended to be a companion piece to U2's previous record, Songs of Innocence (2014). Whereas it's predecessor explored the group members' adolescence in Ireland in the 1970s, Songs of Experience thematically is a collection of letters written by lead vocalist Bono to people and places closest to his heart. The personal nature of the lyrics reflects a "brush with mortality" that he had during the album's recording. Includes the single "You're the Best Thing About Me".

かつてボノは、ジ・エッジをエフェクターの研究者と絶賛していましたが、それがないとU2というより、前半はボノのソロアルバムのようです。
本作は、曲で勝負ということかもしれません。
前半のストリングスを入れた曲が多いのは、ツアーでのオーケストラとの共演などを視野にミックスしたのかな。後半はらしくなってきて、デラックスエディションの別ミックスに突入します。この後半から別ミックスの最後の2曲以外は私はどちらかというと好きです。最後の2曲は別ミックスというより他人のリミックス。
今回は、ちょっといじってあるミックスがついているデラックスエディションにしてよかったです。
ソングスオブイノセンスとソングスオブエクスプリエンスと2枚購入。やっぱりu2は最高です!
買ってよかった!
メロディとカッコ良さにこだわる僕にとって、このアルバムのハイライトは#7 RED FLAG DAY。まさに2つの要素が凝縮された曲。名曲”NEW YEARS DAY”に通じるテイスト。攻撃的な曲調に、ボノの魂のヴォーカル。既に100回以上聴いた。
U2には「静」と「動」の側面がある。このアルバムはその2つの側面を絶妙なバランスで配している。「動」の代表が#7 RED FLAG DAYなら、「動」と「静」のベストミックスが#9 THE LITTLE THINGS THAT GIVE YOU AWAYだ。
このアルバムを聴かないのは本当にもったいない。
今作をアルバムを一周通して聴いてみて、少しのぺっり感があってもっとテンポを上げたほうが活きる曲もあるなという印象でした。
ただ、2週目以降はさすがU2といった感じでそんなことも気にならなくなりました。難しいこと考えずのその時代のボノ、エッジ、ラリー、アダムの音に素直に耳を傾ければいいんだと思いました。
Get out of Your Own Wayはここ最近で一番好きです。
さて、これは名盤のひとつと言っていいのではないだろうか。
前作では少々辛口のレビューを書いたが、今作は好印象である。何しろ美メロ揃いだ。この一週間いつも頭の中でリフレインしている始末である。
いつになく軽いノリの曲が多いが、メンバーが楽しんで演奏している姿が目に浮かんでよい。往年のファンとしては微笑ましい限りだ。どの曲も花道ステージでのパフォーマンスで観てみたいものばかり。
前作では少し物足りなく感じていたエッジのギターも、今作では彼らしくさりげなく存在感を示しており、ひと安心した。9などはライブで感涙必至だろう。
なお、4曲のボートラであるが、その内の3曲はリミックスなので特筆すべきものはないかれど、残りの15は聴きごたえのあるメロディなのでこれも是非聴いてみてほしい。
日本に来てくれないかなあ。
はっきり言って2、3回聴いてやめたため
CDを買う気がうせた。
だけど今回は何度も聴きそうだ。
2004年のAtomic Bomb以降、新譜は購入するものの大体1~2回しか聞かなくなった。自分が年を取ったから好みが変わったのもあるが、過去の縮小再生産的な音楽はまともに聞く気が起きない。
バンドとしては常に”モダン”なサウンドを追求、ボノは世界の救世主であるか如く歌う・・・このフォーマットが正直生理的に受け付けなくなった。
モダンなサウンドも時代の最先端を模倣しただけなので、すぐに陳腐化する。何より、楽曲のバラエティーが少ない。例えば、今作に収録されているYou're the best thing~やAmerican Soulは2004年以降のどのアルバムに収録されていても驚かない(非常に悪い意味で)。
偉大なバンドであることは間違いないし、過去には名作をいくつも作っている。が、新作はツアーの口実程度の出来の物しか作れなくなったのは残念(Joshuaの30周年もやってるけど)。
どんなバンドやアーティストも常に最先端であり続けることは出来ない。それを無理にやろうとしているために、過去10年+のU2の楽曲は陳腐化したと思う。
が、どうしてもこれじゃない感が。
いや、焔やヨシュアをやれと言ってるわけではないのです。ズーロッパも傑作だと思ってます。
けれど、POP以降のU2は、アルバムを通して何度も聴くことが出来ない。
いわゆるスルメ感がなくなって、チョコレートのようにかじったら美味しいけどそれでおしまいな感じ。
ひょっとしたら、楽曲じゃなくて、音がダメなのかも。乾いた感じ、凍える感じ、硬質な感じがなくなってしまい、なんだか暖かくてやわらかい感じがします。

I must admit after hearing the first two singles I did approach this album with a bit of a sense of trepidation as it was clear it was going to be more of a pop record than Songs of Innocence was, and I had been one of the fans that was alienated by U2's 2000s output that had shared this style. But after a couple of listens I started to feel although there is more of an emphasis on pop than rock this time it does not matter too much because the actual songs are much stronger than most of the ones during that "lost" U2 decade for me. Although they are poppy, the melodies are much catchier and more memorable. Additionally, what makes Songs of Experience also superior to the noughties' records is the fact that there are a number of modern production touches which make the sound much more interesting and even some of the old, vintage U2 sound is returned to on occasions albeit in this generally poppier form.
In terms of the record's production, you cannot help but feel that newcomers to the team like Andy Barlow, Jolyon Thomas and Brent Kutzle are responsible for widening U2's sonic palette a bit again while Ryan Tedder continues his role from Songs of Innocence and although he is primarily a pop producer you sense that he has an ability to get great tunes out of the band. I was concerned when I heard that old hands were returning like Steve Lillywhite and Jacknife Lee but unlike their stale production on 2004's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, they contribute a more anthemic, captivating and intriguing sound this time.
Most of these songs concern Bono's recent "brush with mortality" and are consequently more personal about himself and his family - these tend to be the quieter, more ballad-like poppier tracks and there are plenty of them. Opener Love is All We Have Left is very electronic and serene but has a pretty melody and a contemporary treatment of Bono's vocals with the lyrics concerning his younger self and current, older person talking to each other. It is a strong first track while the first couple of singles - You're the Best Thing About Me and Get Out of Your Own Way - sound so much more powerful when you hear them from good record playing equipment compared to the internet. They grow on you and are decent songs with the former being like a poppier Even Better Than the Real Thing and the latter having some of the radio-friendly style of the Joshua Tree about it. As they are the biggest sounding and most commercial songs on the record they definitely deserved to be the first single releases from Songs of Experience.
The self-deprecating of Bono in the role of the rock star, The Showman, is a catchy tune with a bit of rock about it amongst its obvious pop sound. Landlady - again about Bono's wife Ali like the first single - took about three listens to get into my consciousness but when it did it becomes like a poppy version of U2's Unforgettable Fire-era songs and very pleasant and dream-like. Although the closer 13 (There Is a Light) is like one other song a re-write of a Songs of Innocence track (namely Song for Someone), it is again very melodic and after all as this album is a companion piece it does not matter that there are these couple of links between the two records.
However, the very strongest of these quieter tracks has to be The Little Things That Give You Away and Lights of Home. The former is again very much in a pop style but there are some new production tricks used to keep it an interesting listen. I know it has been compared to Coldplay's Up and Up and while it is like that song a bit structurally really it is a great in its own right with some gorgeous atmospheres during the first half and an excellent guitar line by The Edge during the second half that gives it a bit of a rock balance too. The lyrics - like on all the other tracks throughout the album - are well written, thoughtful and emotional from Bono and the latter song contains the finest lines on the album including "I shouldn't be here cause I should be dead" and "Oh Jesus if I'm still your friend." Lights of Home for me differs from the other more poppy, ballad songs as it is more of a classic U2 soft-rock anthem that could have been on many of their peak albums from the eighties and nineties and has a vintage Edge guitar solo to boot. Although its main blues riff is based on a bass line from a Haim song - who feature as backing vocalists - it is simply vintage U2 and could be the top track.
In fact, while most of Songs of Experience is composed of quieter, more introspective pop songs there are still a few occasions where the band rock out and these are nearly all the more political tracks. Clearly these songs are motivated by the rise of the contemporary right wing like Brexit/Trump and so they are going to be louder to convey perhaps the bands' anger. But anyway, despite the fact that you are going to expect more ballads from them due to them being a bit older, it is really refreshing to have some rock anthems on this record to balance it out slightly. Although American Soul is the other song that is a connection back to Songs of Innocence and a blatant re-write of Volcano in parts, it is simply a great, fun rock song with some superb, heavy riffing from the Edge and booming vocals from Bono. Red Flag Day is similarly about refugees and is one of the very best songs with it in fact resurrecting the sound of the first three, very earliest U2 albums - particularly War - with their first producer Steve Lillywhite contributing to this revived sound.
The Blackout on the other hand is clearly political and it is between this and Lights of Home for the title of finest track. I must admit when I heard it when released in its live form a few months ago I was disappointed as it sounded too much to me like a 2004 song. However, this is one of the not too often times when a U2 song actually sounds superior on record as opposed to live, as this studio version both rocks out with some imperious guitar riffing from The Edge but also has some delightful electronic flourishes at times. They complement the rock sound and provide it with an Achtung Baby-style electro-rock feel that the live version lacked. Like the songs on Depeche Mode's Spirit, it is a masterwork inspired by the current political state of the world.
The only two songs that misfire slightly on Songs of Experience are Summer of Love and Love is Bigger than Anything in Its Way. The former is the only political song to be more poppy, calmer and controlled. It is still a nice melody and a fairly good song, but it is simply not as impressive amongst all the other company on this record. The latter, meanwhile, is again quite decent but it is a bit too overtly commercialised to my taste.
Overall, although Songs of Experience is no Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby (U2's Revolver and their best record for me), it is the very good pop record that the noughties albums could have been if they had better songs throughout. Only two songs are slightly weaker and five tracks - Lights of Home, American Soul, Red Flag Day, The Little Things That Give You Away and The Blackout - are up there with their best material. Admittedly, due to this greater emphasis on pop than rock The Edge is not totally as prominent this time, but he still pulls off enough decent guitar work. I understand too that sales of Songs of Experience have been generally lower but saying that all that matters is if I like it ultimately and I really do. Anyway, it has still gone to number one in America and top three or five in most of the other charts around the world and that is quite good really for a band in their late career while album sales have fallen generally somewhat for a lot of their contemporaries. Although I might prefer Songs of Innocence slightly because it is more in the vein of their classic rock sound, Songs of Experience is a very good companion piece with more consistently strong tracks and realises the full potential of their pop side that the 00s albums failed to reach.
Since then, vultures gather upon every release for signs of the band’s descent into irrelevance. But the restlessness at the center of U2 has remained in tact, and the albums that followed have still had the ache of a band straining for great songs, not infrequently finding them. How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, No Line on the Horizon, and Songs of Innocence in fact contain some of their finest work—tracks like “Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own,” “City of Blinding Lights,” “Moment of Surrender,” and “Iris.”
But then comes Songs of Experience.
This album did the one thing I wasn’t sure if the veteran band could still do, especially after already hearing 4 pre-released tracks—it surprised me. The first full-listen was a little dizzying, because I felt the same sense of heights I did listening to Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby and All That You Can’t Leave Behind for the first time. That seemed a bit too lofty, so I listened again—and thought it might actually bump ATYCLB.
Lyrically, Songs of Experience is Bono at his fragile best (and his bravest). It is an album soaked in mortality, music that faces death straight on—but with fearlessness. “Love is All We Have Left” is a disarming left hook of an opener, lush and gorgeous, a little bit into outer space. “Lights of Home” is more earth-bound, grittier and groovier, a track that reminds you this is not a band that has not yet given up on rock and roll. The lighter “You’re the Best Thing About Me,” captures the zest, vitality, and boyish energy of their early work. “Get Out of Your Own Way” is audaciously sincere and pastoral in the way only U2 can be, a summons to the foolishness of love in a time where pragmatism or cynicism make much more sense. Kendrick Lamar’s inverse beatitudes bridging into “American Soul” brings a prophetic edge into the center of the album, and “American Soul” itself, a protest song, is the world’s most mainstream rock act tapping into the authentic rage of the punk rock that first grabbed a hold of them, for love’s sake.
The trinity of “Summer of Love,” “Red Flag Day,” and “The Showman” incorporates the sonic sense of mischief, slyness, and the lighter touch U2 honed in the 90’s, even while “Summer of Love” invokes images of Aleppo. “The Little Things That Give You Away,” my current favorite track of the album, is U2 at their most unabashedly U2—like “Beautiful Day,” a return to the sonic landscape they mastered, dragging me helplessly to euphoria (Bono’s vocal delivery on “Sometimes, the end is not coming…the end is already here” is the most devastating single moment on the album).
Indeed, it is in the thick of these tracks that Songs of Experience proves that it belongs in the top-tier of U2’s canon—it is the first time since Achtung Baby that the second half of an album has been better than the first. Whereas, “The Little Things That Give You Away” takes us to the heights we partly always want U2 to take us, “The Landlady,” an exquisite love song to Bono’s wife Ali, embodies a beautiful restraint. “The Blackout” is a straight rocker with pop sensibilities, like many U2 songs, destined to be defined live. “Love is Stronger than Anything in It’s Way” takes a record swaddled in mortality into a defiant sendoff, the triumph of the human spirit in the face of the unknown. In experiencing the death of my most significant mentor last week, it has been the hymn that has carried me along. Finally, “13 (There is a Light)” both completes the album thematically and brings it full circle to where it began—to a place of meditation. It also bookends Songs of Experience perfectly with Songs of Innocence, both calling back to it’s predecessor, and transcending it.
U2 has always swung for the high places, and yet existed as a high wire act—walking a tightrope of vulnerability and swagger, artistic soul music aspirations with stadium rock ambition. Theirs is a big an open sound, but a very delicate business that thrives off of contradiction. U2’s heart has always been on the sleeve, even when it was buried in irony. The irrepressible earnestness of spirit that underwrites the entire project walks a thin line between being too cool, and too awkward. And yet there are moments when they walk this thin line into a thin place, where the glory touches the ground. The singer becomes a shaman, Adam Clayton’s groove takes hold of your body, Larry Mullen kicks open the door to your soul, and The Edge takes us all the way through the portal. In that place, we are exposed, vulnerable, human…and somehow, something more.
This is the magic U2 has always aspired to. When it works, there is nothing else like it.
Étant peu fan de U2 à l'exception de leurs deux best of, je ne peux pas vraiment donner mon avis.
En tout cas
