内容紹介
Under the leadership of Shaun Ryder (The Happy Mondays), Black Grape has broken every rule that governs pop music; and, in the process, sold half a million copies of their debut album, It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah. Black Grape's newest release, produced by Danny Saber (U2, Rolling Stones, David Bowie), was set-up with the track "Get Happy," which spent five weeks at #1 on R&R's specialty show chart in Dec./Jan. First single/video: "Marbles (Why You Say Yes... ?)."
Amazonレビュー
The second album by Shaun Ryder's perpetually-addled Madchester veterans does exactly what it say in the title: puerile lyrics and dumb-and-dumber funk rock. Little had changed in the world of the Black Grape, then, since the hilarious It's Great When You're Straight...Yeah! It's just that by 1997, the joke didn't seem as funny anymore. "Marbles" and "Spotlight" are, on the surface, up there with Black Grape's best; rollicking party anthems with hefty, sticky-fingered choruses that cement Ryder's place as the cheeky, lovable rogue. Elsewhere, though, he seems to think he's some sort of Casanova; the chorus of "Squeaky" goes "I wanna get cheeky with ya/ I wanna get squeaky inside ya." It's not very appealing, and after the oft-inspired wordplay of the likes of "Reverend Black Grape" from the Grape's debut, it's exactly what makes Stupid Stupid Stupid a disappointment. --Louis Pattison

音楽の方向性自体は、ハピマン時代とは違うけど
明らかに完成された音を提供してくれた。
ただ、やみくもにアッパーなサウンドが展開されるのではなく
随所に散りばめられた色んな音を耳で拾い集めて楽しめる一面を
持っている気がします。
どこが良い?と聞かれたら、高いテンションで走り続ける音楽と
理屈抜きのカッコ良さ♪
どこで聴く?と聞かれたら、爆音で車で聴くのが一番でしょう♪
ただし、音楽につられてスピードの出しすぎには要注意!!

He was also 100% wrapped up in his heroin addiction by then, pummeled by lawsuits and personal life issues that are inevitable when junkies aspire to do anything more with themselves but sit around being junkies. The problem with Shaun Ryder is that he's also an artist of the first rate, a species of mankind whom are hard to keep down and are prone to keep right on creating even when it would probably be a better career move to bag it all and take up duck farming. Black Grape was Ryder's vehicle of the era and as such he used them again as a method of expressing himself, though the scattershot effect will no doubt leave casual listeners somewhat nonplussed. Of the 10 tracks on the album half of them work, the rest sound strangely like they kept on playing while Ryder was off doing something he deigned better with his time.
Even the album's would-be anthem track, "Get Higher" with a sampled re-construction of a Ronald & Nancy Reagan speech concerning their war on drugs (which is NOT an impostor, it's the real thing, just digitally re-arranged to say what the editor had in mind and existed as an internet oddity long before the album was made) comes off as a gimmick rather than a work of impassioned art, the likewise sampled bass line from the Monday's "Loose Fit" not helping the matter any. "Squeaky" comes off somewhat better and sounds like a genuine band-effort, and "Marbles" was a brilliantly missed single that sadly nobody heard at the time. Songs like "Daddy was a Baddi" and "Money Back Guarantee" come across as extensions of "It's Great ..." and it's wonderfully understated commentary on the consumer obsessed culture Ryder was drawing from. But the majority of the album comes across as the band performing, Ryder selecting words/phrases that seemed to fit the music, and leaving it at that, the miserable album mix of "Rubberband" being the most obvious offender. And why the cover of "Lonely"? It does absolutely nothing for the source material & sounds suspiciously like a producer suggesting an old soul cover as a way of re-sparking the old "Step On" days. It doesn't work.
One thing which is important to remember, though, when listing to this album, is that Black Grape were very much a "live" band who would use the album tracks as a departure point for what would be performed live, unlike Happy Mondays of the 1990s who would re-create their hit songs onstage. Black Grape had a more experimental approach and aside from "Get Higher" this album should be viewed as studio takes of what would have been most of their live set from the time. The problem is that removed from that live setting dynamic the songs really aren't as much fun as the otherwise may have been. The music sounds forced, where "Its Great ..." sounds like it came together naturally over time, and I suspect that pressure from Ryder's management of the time had a lot to do with it. Time would reveal that Ryder had signed an abysmal contract that basically promised all of his royalties for the rest of his life, of which he would get a cut, and my suspicion has always been that the mounting realization that he'd been totally screwed ultimately led to the friction within the group that eventually forced them apart: In 1998, Ryder fired rapper Kermit and Jed following a row after a show, disbanded the group within a week and found himself the subject of a truly despicable lawsuit that forced him into seclusion until he could find a way out of the terms that he had agreed to work under.
These days I like to look upon "Stupid Stupid Stupid" as a cautionary tale of what happens when commerce and art meet, which will always result in a compromise of form -- or somebody getting screwed. Ryder was released from his contract in 2006 and immediately sprang back into form with the reformed Happy Mondays and "Uncle Dysfunktional", which is very much an extension of Black Grape's sound & approach rather than a return to the old days of the classic era Mondays. And when compared to "Stupid Stupid Stupid" represents a huge leap in artistic growth, even if the sound is more or less the same. The lesson to be learned is that nobody can decide to be a genius spontaneously, and that artists need the freedom to make the occasional misfire. I grant it to Ryder, and when all is said and done a less than masterful Shaun Ryder album is better than anything else -- I'd rather hear this record for all it's shortcomings than pretty much anything of it's ilk from the time. Making a duff work is part of the artistic process, and as such this is a very important record in Ryder's career, maybe even more so than some of his more brilliant moments, and fans of his work should seek it out. Get a used copy for a couple dollars, you may not necessarily adore it but you sure won't regret it.
