HMV Review

The debut album from piano-playing Ben Folds' smart-ass trio is a potent, and extremely fun, collection of postmodern rock ditties that comes off as a pleasantly workable combination of Tin Pan Alley showmanship, Todd Rundgren-style power pop, and myriad alt-rock sensibilities. The gimmick here is that not a single guitar was used on the 12 songs; but the way that Folds and his bandmates unravel their instruments (piano, bass, and drums make up this combo), even the most hardened noise enthusiasts will hardly miss it (it's the melodies that carry this album, and Folds has plenty of them up his sleeve). Some of it is a bit coy -- Folds plays the joker as much as he does the musician -- but with the dead-on Underground, they manage to skewer, and pay loving tribute, to the oh-so-hip indie scene from which they came. ~ Michael Gallucci, All Music Guide

’95年の1st。ﾋﾟｱﾉのﾍﾞﾝ･ﾌｫｰﾙｽﾞ率いるｷﾞﾀｰ･ﾚｽ･ﾄﾘｵ･ﾊﾞﾝﾄﾞ。ずっと車のHDに入れて聴いてます。ﾄﾞﾗｲﾌﾞに最適なﾏｽﾀｰ･ﾋﾟｰｽです。ｷﾞﾀｰ無いけどこれが不思議と飽きません。弾けまくるﾋﾟｱﾉが爽快で奏でるﾒﾉﾃﾞｨがこんなにいいんじゃｷﾞﾀｰ要りません。彼らのｷｬｯﾁ･ﾌﾚｰｽﾞが「泣き虫野郎のﾊﾟﾝｸ･ﾛｯｸ」！あってるのか？？

1990年代ロックのマスターピース。時々メランコリックな風合いに思える楽曲の持つ不思議さ。究極の一生懸命さが聞く者の胸をうつ。これを聞いて「ピアノは打楽器である」と思ったりもした。
