Product Description

As with last album Lil' Beethoven, Ron and Russell Mael's new opus presents you with pop music that bears hardly any relation to anything else. A strange amalgam of keyboard-led, semi-operatic sturm und drang with added metal (courtesy of Dean Menta of Faith No More) this builds on... Beethoven's template of repetition and wit, adding a coherent concept: Modern love and all it's pitfalls. Hello Young Lovers addresses it's effect on your career ('Dick Around'); your self-esteem ('Here Kitty'); it's monotony ('The Very Next Fight'); even it's socio-politically euphemistic aspects ('(Baby Baby) Can I Invade Your Country?'). in the Red. 2006.

前作ほどはよくないけど、これはこれで傑作。好調を維持するのは、大変だけど、次もがんばってほしい。

Alfer the brilliant ’Lil Beethoven’, we can only hope the Mael brothers are on a role. They are nothing short of genius, having inspired other artists in their wake (Siouxsie, Martin Gore of Depeche Mode, Franz Ferdinand). Be thankful they are still creating wonderful pop masterpieces.
