HMV Review

One of three best-of compilations released in the same year, Exile's Catchy Best album tries to cover their most popular music that isn't in the full-fledged arena pop setting (which went to their Entertainment Best album) or the softer stuff (the Ballad Best album). Instead, this is primarily middle of the road music, not quite pounding with beats and intricacies, but also not moping along as with ballads either. The album opens uber-grandiosely, with pounding drums and a showpiece that literally beats the band. The album goes exactly as promised from there -- all catchy, nothing standing out as extraordinarily big in sound or concept. Highlights are a little difficult to spot thanks to the thematic separation as well, with only a few points sticking out from the backdrop of generalized catchiness. In particular, Real World provides a deeper techno base that interplays interestingly with the vocals from the band and lends a bit of exploratory credibility to the group. In conjunction with m-flo, the group also puts together an interesting, if somewhat incoherent, piece with the closing Ginga Tetsudou 999, an electronic heap if ever there was one. For fans of Exile, their individual albums and singles are probably already in your collection, making this one a bit unnecessary. For newcomers, steer clear and head for some of their other work, or perhaps to similar bands (SMAP, Arashi, etc). [A CD/DVD version was also released.] ~ Adam Greenberg, Rovi

    私は普段、Jポップは聴きません。CDもあまり買いません。エグザイルにもあまり興味ありません。 ではなぜ、このCDを聴いたのか?それは銀河鉄道999のカバーソングが収録されていたから。 一通り聴いてみて意外によくまとまっていて聴き応えがあった。どの曲も大衆に受けいれらるように作られていると感じた。(決して悪い意味でなく) では目当てである銀河鉄道999はどうだったのか? ゴダイゴが演奏した原曲の勇気、希望、冒険、永遠、愛といったイメージは全く無いが軽快なダンス曲に仕上がっておりこれはこれでなかなか良い。原曲のイメージとはずいぶん違うが十分楽しめる。

    まずジャケットが痛々しい。短時間で適当に作った匂いがプンプンします。 初回盤のスリーブ外したら中も同じってのも酷い…ダウンロードが多いいま、持っておきたくなる様にそれくらいはきちんと作りましょうよ。そういうこだわりが後の評価になって表れるんですから。 内容はもう言いたくないです。もうただのJ-POP。ぶっちゃけ2008年はSHUNをなかったことにするための年だったんですね。 歌い直しどころかPVまで撮り直すとは…。
