久しぶりの新作、どんな風に仕上がっているのか楽しみでした。
個人的には前作「DRAMA」より入りやすい、覚えやすいポップソング集といった感じ。
「ポップ」でも軽いノリではなく、全編通してダークで重めな音作りで、昔の煌びやかなユーロビートとは一味違う。年齢相応のダンスミュージックを展開しています。
リードシングル#01.「LOVE COMES」ですが、リリックが単発的なため非常に覚えやすくてノリのいいOPチューン。マドンナの最新カット「CELEBRATION」ほど激しいメロディの起伏はありませんが、単調なサビの部分などは通じるようなグルーヴ感が備わっています。スリリングで更にマイナー調な#02.「LOVE DON'T LIVE HERE」や、一昔前の流行を思わせる#07.「THE RUNNER」、ユーロ寄りな#09.「DUM DUM BOY」といったディスコチューンは往年のバナナラマの快進撃を思い出します。
1曲のみ、がらりと曲調を変える#10.「S S S SINGLE BED」はスウィートなキャンディポップ。
作風の似たものが多いためメリハリは今一つですが、低音を効かせたコンピュータサウンドは大音量で愉しみたい気分にさせられます。
シングルカットもさることながら、リミックスが映えそうな楽曲も多いので、リリースを期待したいです。

結構キャリア積んできた(のかね?)と思えるのに、イイ年して全く進歩しない
歌唱力。前作でも、パンチの無い歌を必死にアレンジとコンピューターによるヴォーカル
の加工で乗り切っていたが(何故そこまでしてCDを出す?←またソレを買うアホなワタシ)
このアルバムは、更にそのヴォーカルの加工度が進歩している!
評価出来るのはそこのみかも…。
you tubeの動画見ても、ここ最近の二人のライブは目を覆うばかりの、NHKのど自慢に
出てくる素人さえも真っ青の下手クソ歌唱ぶり。
なんでこいつら歌手やってんだ!?
んでもってこのアルバムのヴォーカルの加工度の見事さといったら…
こいつらがこんだけ歌えるワケねぇだろ!
悔しかったら、ナマでこれだけ歌ってみろ、サラ、カレン!
素人臭さを残しながらも、ある程度の良質のポップスを提供してきた往年のバナララマ
の良さはもうここには無い。
だいたいシヴォーンが抜けた後のこの二人なんて、音楽的には抜け殻いみたなもん。
(声もシヴォーンの存在感は大きかった)
「I FOUND LOVE」から長年に渡って迷走を続けるオバハン二人(写真はキレイだけど)。
往年のバナナラマをここに求めてはイケナイ。
どっかのダンスミュージックと思って聴き流す程度ならそれなりに楽しめるかも。
しかしヒドイ。
そんな二人のCDを懲りずに買い続けるワタシも大概イタイ…。

前作『Drama』からは久しぶりにヒットも出て
それなりにトピックもあったが、本作も
似たような出涸らしなテクノサウンド。
もともとデュオになってからは音楽的な挑戦は
なくなってしまったが、これは本当につまらない。
BGMとしてはいいかも。
バナナラマのアルバムとしては駄作。

the girls go dance--reminiscent of the SAW years
2009年10月1日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
For long time fans of 80s artists like Bananarama who are still following modern trends in club music, this should be a treat (those who stopped listening to modern music after the 80s probably won't like this). Just like Cyndi Lauper and Madonna, the two remaining members of Bananarama deliver a modern electro pop record with infectious beats and melodies. Too bad the album is only eleven tracks, and that one of the tracks is a remake of th iio club hit "rapture", which is so played to death that I didn't really need to hear another version of it in the same decade! Another remake is of the dance track "The Runner," which was recorded back in the 70s by Three Degrees and written by none other than electronic dance music pioneer Giorgio Moroder of Donna Summer fame!
Love Comes, Love Don't Live Here, Tell Me Tomorrow, Dum Dum Boy, and We've Got the Night are all dance songs, and if you like modern artists like September, Lasgo, Cascada, and Nouveau Riche, you'll love these songs.
Seventeen, Twisting, Extraordinary, and S-S-S- single bed are more downtempo electro tracks to change things up again. Personally, I would have been fine with an entire dance album, but these tracks are a bit more reminiscent of some of Bananarama's earlier music.
Hopefully, this album will spawn some full length club mixes--it just still feels a little on the short side for some reason. I'm glad they didn't try, however, to add yet more 'remakes' of some of their biggest hits, although the CD single for Love Comes has an update of Cruel Summer...

A classic album, pure Bananarama
2016年12月3日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
It has been a while since I have heard anything by Bananarama, and just recently I found this album online. I didn't even know they were still together, but this told me they were and I was pleasantly surprised by that. I have two other downloads from their Please Yourself album, the first they did I think after Siobhan left and I love them. I ordered this one and frankly, I think it's the best studio album they have done, certainly as just the two of them.
For me, this is a classic album. There is not one track on here that I am not so keen on and I have played it already since buying it a few weeks ago well over a dozen times. It kicks off with the terrific Love Comes and it ends with the rather brooding, maybe haunting and epic And Then Night Comes. I won't bother describing the tracks, since everyone will hear something different obviously because of varying tastes, but for me, the two other outstanding tracks on the album are Seventeen and the brilliant, sexy and driving Dum Dum Boy. The sound of all the tracks is pure Bananarama and they sound better than ever, and I personally think they sound just as good as just the two of them. No offense, Siobhan. They still look wonderful too, since my guess is they are in their forties. This album was released in 2009.
Any Bananarama fans out there, do yourself a big, big favour and order this. You won't be disappointed. In fact, you might be playing it again and again well into the night and beyond!

Still as addictive, dance-oriented, and fresh as ever. :)

I've been a Bananarama fan since the early 90's. Although I was already familiar with their best loved smashes, "Cruel Summer" and "Venus", the now-duo (I believe that group was actually a quartet for one or two albums) continued into the millennium with their infectious dance melodies.
"Viva" is much more techno-keyboard savvy, electric-filled and seriously updated, especially with the opener "Love Comes." Sarah and Keren's voices are much more alive, deep and stronger than ever. The other particular highlights on "Viva" are "Love Don't Live Here", "The Runner" (my number one personal favorite on the LP), "Dum Dum Boy", "We've Got The Night", and "Tell Me Tomorrow." There were only 2 songs on this LP that I didn't like, which is actually a rare thing because I truly love so many of Bananarama's songs that they've had on their ENTIRE catalog.
The duo recently put out their 2013 EP, "Now Or Never." Yes, it's a taster/teaser of sorts but still worth owning. But even so, after 3 decades, these two women show NO signs of slowing down whatsoever. :)

The Best BANANARAMA yet!
2009年11月19日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
All i have to say is WOW! and not in reference to their 1987 album by that name. Ever since their 2006 release Drama, i have been waiting for another album of club dance music. Viva is more than i could ever have hoped for in terms of a wonderful dance CD. The first 4 songs in a row are fantastic! My favorite song on here is Love Don't Live Here. It is the second song on here. The first song is Love Comes, which is a very appropriate opening to the CD. I just wished that this would have contained the radio verson of Love Comes, maybe as the last song on the CD. The song seventeen isnt necessarily a full dance song, but i LOVE the musical rhythm of it. Viva is Bananarama's 10th Release and now i cant wait for studio album #11 or a USA tour!!! If you like bananarama and you like club, dance, or house music you NEED to buy this CD. It is very well worth the money to spend on shipping.
