HMV Review

A few lines from a couple songs and some suggestive presentation guarantees that a significant amount of the reaction to Discipline, Janet's tenth studio album, will feast upon the singer's lack of judiciousness when it comes to expressing her sexuality. Leave the teasing and explicitness to the teens and younger twenty-somethings -- not the grown women -- right? Janet should get back to making sunny, uncomplicated songs like Escapade and pretend that the occasional-to-frequent salaciousness extending back to Control never existed. She should do that and, while she is at it, act her age. (When the three years younger R. Kelly releases his next album, no protests of a similar nature will be heard; ditto whenever the Rolling Stones perform Brown Sugar.) While Discipline is dressed up like a racy affair with track-to-track titillation, it has only a couple moments where Janet takes the S&M imagery further, and more deeply personal, than she did on The Velvet Rope; the majority of its subject matter relates to the more common elements of relationships. The likes of Never Letchu Go (a sweet, glistening ballad), Luv (carrying a brisk, feel-good clap-and-bounce), Rollercoaster (suitably jittery and giddy), and Can't B Good (practically a descendent of her brother Michael's Can't Help It, with that gentle and affecting self-examination that only a Jackson can do so well) are as innocent, universal, and inviting as anything else in Janet's past. There are two irresistible, grade-A dancefloor tracks as well: the swift, swooning Rock with U (that is the correct title) and the more aggressive (as in let's throw down) 2Nite. The absence of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis is not felt, not with Ne-Yo, the-Dream, Tricky Stewart, and Stargate stepping up to contribute with established Janet collaborators Johnta Austin, Rodney Jerkins, and of course Jermaine Dupri (who brought Janet with him to Island from Virgin). Janet probably won't hit that late-'80s peak again, but that is no excuse to write her off. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

    Hoppy!  |  東京都  |  30year  |  08/July/2009

    全体的にすごくコンセプチュアルに出来ているアルバム。 最初の曲から最後の曲まで、じっくり耳を傾けたくなる聞き漏らしたくない音とメロディが満載。 前3作までの後半グダグダになる感じはなく、一貫して聴いて良い出来栄え。 けど、ガツン!とした曲がないんだよね。 これ!っていう曲がないあたりが、セールスがイマイチな原因なのでは? もっとUPテンポ曲満載にした方がよさげ。 とはいえ、ビルボードチャートでは1位を取得。 話題性もあってかもしれないが、実績残したいところかな。 色々起死回生を狙ってると思うのだが・・・う〜ん、歌詞がなぁ。エロエロだからなぁw 曲の感じに関しては これまでキャッチーなPOPよりの曲こそが、ジャネットの魅力であり、人気であるんだけれども、 そうではなく新しい側面を常に追求していくあたり、まさに勇士。 なんか意味不明にこのアルバムに”勇士”て漢字のデザインがあるんですけど、ん”〜〜〜・・・・・ 今回のアルバムはヒットした初期アルバム・コントロールやリズムネイションのような硬質な感じもあるのだけど、 重たくなくイイ意味で軽い。 久々に最初から最後まで飽きずに聴きたくさせるように創られている。 さて、そんな期待と希望をもったツアーコンサート! 今のところ、北米のみのツアースケジュールだけど、是非とも日本にも来てほしい。 そして俺は是非とも海外公演に参戦したい!したい!したい! 超ガチに同じダンスで盛り上がり、観客の熱い熱気と共に盛り上がりたい。
