HMV Review

In mid-1996, Dishwalla's Counting Blue Cars was one of the most overplayed songs of the summer. It was a melodic masterpiece of passion for radio fans and powerful in making the bandmembers into international superstars. And You Think You Know What Life's About (1998) didn't fare as well, but the band's third effort, Opaline, marks a return to form: heavy guitar work layered over J.R. Richards' heartily sweet vocals. It's definitely pop-friendly, and Dishwalla's approach to the album as a whole is carefree. Grainy acoustic guitars dance around spiritual salvation in songs like Home and Somewhere in the Middle. Mad Life is equally impressive, but Angels or Devils is Opaline's brightest track. String arrangements build the stormy romance of the song, harking back to the idea that time heals all wounds. Dishwalla have a message. They're suckers for the perfect hook. Opaline is a decent rock record and fans should be pleased. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi

全く知らないｱｰﾃｨｽﾄだったんですけど､某有名中古店でこのｱﾙﾊﾞﾑのDVD-AUDIOを見つけて､ここのﾚﾋﾞｭｰを参考に購入しました｡確かに､名盤でした!!どの曲もどこか日本人好みのﾒﾛﾃﾞｨｰでありながら軟弱さがないROCKに仕上がっています｡既に､CDも廃盤になっているようで在庫のみだと思います｡ DVD-AUDIOでは5.1CHｻﾗｳﾝﾄﾞと曲に合わせて画面出る歌詞が収録されています｡

Dishwallaって、活動休止してるのかな？ってか解散しちゃったのかな？こんなに実力派のアーティストが、野放しにされているなんて‥やはり、ふとした時に聴きたくなるのが「Somewhere in the Middle」「Angels or Devils」繊細で切ない美メロに、本当に心がうたれます。大好きなラジオＤＪが、今でも定期的に流してくれてます。また活動を、再開してほしいです。

ここでの評価が高いのと、試聴したらとても気に入ったので近くのレコード屋で注文したら、既に廃盤になってて取り寄せできないとのこと・・・・。家に帰ってネットでなんとか注文しました。なんでこんないいアルバム（まだ届いてないけど）が廃盤なんだー。世の中間違ってるよーーー。
