HMV Review

Four years after retreating to the English countryside to record 2005's Some Cities, Doves return to a more urban state of mind with Kingdom of Rust. My god, Jimi Goodwin sings during the title track, it takes an ocean of trust in the kingdom of rust. Guitars chime throughout the chorus, where Goodwin's baritone searches of a lost love amidst a town's landscape. A string section makes an appearance toward the song's conclusion, bringing with it the same sweeping, Brit-pop uplift that fueled the band's debut album. Doves are still indebted to that scene -- the same one that spawned dozens of guitar-fueled, new-millennial rock bands -- but their songs have become broader in scope, often reaching an elated, emotional peak before spending a good amount of time on that emotion's melancholic comedown. As the album title suggests, Kingdom of Rust gives time to both sides of the band's personality, from the sweeping, cathedral-esque anthems (The Outsiders, Winter Hill) to dark, tarnished brooders (Jetstream) that help level the spectrum. Songs like 10:03 and Birds Flew Backwards strike a balance between those two camps, with the latter track featuring a stately cello and some dazzling moments of atmospheric, reverb-heavy harmonies. This is still a bright record, though, one that finds catharsis in the gloomier songs and strength in the tracks that resemble Lost Souls' anthems. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi

    フジロック09参戦ということで、どんなバンドなのか興味を持って聴きました。 最初こそ地味な印象も、3、4回と聴くたびに、その味わい深さに聞き惚れました。何で今までこのバンドを知ることが出来なかったのか悔やむほどです。本当に素晴らしい。 過去のアルバムも素晴らしい出来ですが、個人的にはこの4枚目が一番良いと思います。M1〜M6の流れは秀逸で、特にM4は文句なく名曲です。 ラストナンバーはどことなくピンクフロイドを思い出させ、最近聴いた中では最も余韻に浸ることが出来るアルバムでした。 フジロックでのライヴが楽しみです。

    過去DOVESは独特の世界観があり、いつも気になる存在ではありましたが、アルバムを購入するまでの決定的なものはありませんでした。今回Jetstreamを聞き一発で購入、全体的にも独特の世界観はそのままでいままでなかった何度も聞きたいというインパクトのあるアルバムだと思います。

    DOVESの錆びついた王国へ一人来た訳だけど、まだ聞き慣れない音たちに戸惑い不安混じりだった中、М@のJETSTREAMを聞いている内にそれも直ぐ吹き飛んだ。 МBの耳をつんざく様な電子音からの始まりに驚くも束の間、「いつもの」DOVESのギターロックへと変わり、МCのwinter hillは例えるなら2ndのThere goes the fearを少し緩やかにした優しい音。個人的に今作ほど気持ちの良い流れを感じさせるアルバムは初めてだ。МH〜Iの心弾む曲から曲への受け渡しは絶妙。辿り着いたDOVESの王国で、四年間降り積もった雪が弾け飛び春になる瞬間を見た。
