HMV Review

Hiring noted roots experimentalists Tchad Blake and Mitchell Froom as engineer and consultant, respectively, Sheryl Crow took a cue from their Latin Playboys project for her second album -- she kept her roots rock foundation and added all sorts of noises, weird instruments, percussion loops, and off-balance production to give Sheryl Crow a distinctly modern flavor. And, even with the Stonesy grind of Sweet Rosalyn or hippie spirits of Love Is a Good Thing, it is an album that couldn't have been made any other time than the '90s. As strange as it may sound, Sheryl Crow is a postmodern masterpiece of sorts -- albeit a mainstream, post-alternative, postmodern masterpiece. It may not be as hip or innovative as, say, the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique, but it is as self-referential, pop culture obsessed, and musically eclectic. Throughout the record, Crow spins out wild, nearly incomprehensible stream-of-consciousness lyrics, dropping celebrity names and products every chance she gets (drinking Falstaff beer/Mercedes Ruehl and a rented Leer). Often, these litanies don't necessarily add up to anything specific, but they're a perfect match for the mess of rock, blues, alt-rock, country, folk, and lite hip-hop loops that dominate the record. At her core, she remains a traditionalist -- the songcraft behind the infectious Change Would Do You Good, the bubbly Everyday Is a Winding Road, and the weary If It Makes You Happy helped get the singles on the radio -- but the production and lyrics are often at odds with those instincts, creating for a fascinating and compelling (and occasionally humorous) listen and one of the most individual albums of its era. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

    Sheryl Crowの一番元気のいい時期のAlbumですね。皆さんのレビューにある様にすべて良い感じに仕上がっています。ノリもいいし、勢いもあります。自身の名をタイトルにしただけのことはあると思います。彼女史上(今のところ)最高の仕上がりの作品と思います。特に個人的に彼女にしびれた曲「If It Makes You Happy」が入っているので「なんてサイコー!」ってな感じです。この曲はOriginalはもちろん、Concert Live, Acoustic Liveいづれも気持ち良く聴けます。聴いたことのない方は是非聴いてみて下さい。
