HMV Review

The latest opus from U2 is another record of immense quality, intelligence and songwriting brilliance. Entitled, rather confusingly, ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb' (sounds like a film spoof set in communist Russia), it stands up well against previous U2 classics like ‘The Joshua Tree' and ‘Achtung Baby'. Kicking off with the first single ‘Vertigo' (a rock'n'roll blast with a killer riff), it rattles through twelve awesome skyscraping anthems that prove that Ireland's finest export can still cut it with the big boys. Big bold and brash, ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb' is another magnificent album from the biggest band in the world.

    確かに近年のリマスター再発で脚光を浴びたヨシュア・トゥリーや焔の頃の隙の無い仕上がりや作品としての構成力と比較したら…比べ物にならない程に散漫な印象を与える。全然知らない人に『これベスト盤なんだよねぇ』とかうそぶいても絶対に悟られまい。曲単位では相変わらず良い曲も多いのだが、アルバムとして評価した時にどうなんだろ…このムラは。友人が言うに色んなタイプの曲が聴きたい向きの『味ごのみ』みたいなアルバムだね。ファンなら誰でも好きな曲が必ず何曲かは見つかる保証付きではあると思う。

    前作で完全復活を遂げた期待感からすると、少し残念なアルバムでした。 M2,M3,M5,M10,M11(この曲がベスト!)の5曲は素晴らしいです。 しかしそれ以外の曲が、前作での楽曲クオリティに比べるとどうしても印象が薄くなってしまいます。 アルバム・トータルで聴くのがなかなか大変で、聴けば聴くほど先の5曲の素晴らしさが際立つばかりでして。。。 U2だからといって、無理してでも「5ッ星」を付けるのは止めましょうよ。

    それにしてもみんなU2の新譜(当時はね)ということで無節操に誉めすぎるよ!M3やM10、M11のような地味だけれどもいい曲は確かにあるにはある、だけどもこのアレンジというかミックスというかサウンドプロダクションはどうなのかな〜???曲の地の良さがいまいち生きていない感じがずーっとしているのだ。スティーヴ・リリーホワイトは単なる懐古趣味?悪いアルバムじゃあないんだけどね、このレベルだったらなにもU2じゃあなくてもね!喝!だ!
