Amazonレビュー

Sometimes recording even a single Beatles cover can be a perilous undertaking. So for the Smithereens to have the impudence to rerecord Meet the Beatles in its entirety (even though some purists don't recognize it as canonical) is like taking the studio to edge of the cliff. But wait! While reaching the Fab Four stratosphere is impossible, this New Jersey pop combo, whose last record was released in 1999, comes about as close as any band could in celebrating the 43rd anniversary of this groundbreaking record. Sure, the lead-vocal fury that Lennon and McCartney created in 1964 can't be restored, and the three-part harmonies are less than hair-raising. But from the opening three chords of "I Want to Hold Your Hand," the Smithereens are respectful to the album's legacy, and let virtually no element slip past them. There's that "1-2-3-4!" countdown to "I Saw Her Standing There," the same virile harmonica in "Little Child," and a doo-wop tang to the ever-underappreciated "This Boy." And when "Not a Second Time" fades out the last of the album's 28 minutes, it leaves you wondering if the boys are bold enough to take a crack at Abbey Road in September 2009. --Scott Holter

聞けば聞くほど、じんわりとしみてくる。

2007年4月23日に日本でレビュー済み

６０年代から今までに1万回近く“I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND”を聞いてきた
先輩方の耳には、このＣＤの一音目あるいは第一声から違和感があるかもしれません。

そこで「何だかな」と放り投げてしまわずに、しばらく聞き込んでみましょう。
やはり録音状態がいいのと、本家への愛情が演奏にびしびし感じられるのと、
聞き込むうちに彼らなりの「小ワザ」がじんわりとしみて来るのとで、
聞けば聞くほど、「こいつら、なかなかがんばってるな」
「これはこれで、いい感じだな」と思えるようになり、
ついには、必聴盤になること間違いないです。

好きだけど・・・

2012年9月2日に日本でレビュー済み

スミザリーンズは元々好きなバンドで、過去にアルバムを何枚も買ってます。
それだけに、彼らがこういうカバーアルバムを出すことに非常に複雑な感情を抱きました。
内容はビートルズの米盤1stアルバム"Meet The Beatles"を曲順もそのままに忠実にカバーしたもの。
演奏力は高く実力実績共にあるバンドだし、元からビートルズの影響を感じさせる連中だから、
単なるカバーとはいえ十分楽しめるアルバムになっています。

「自分（達）の音楽」を売っていこう、活動していこう、と考えるアーティストにとって
ビートルズナンバーのカバー集を出すってのは実はとても危険なのです。
世間には「ビートルズ」って名前がつけば何でも買っちゃう連中が大量にいるのです。
だからこういうアルバムを出せば、まず間違いなく一定の売り上げは見込める。
売れるということは当然レコード会社は儲かるし、バンド側にも利益がある。

しかしそういう輩は「ビートルズ」だから聞いてるだけなので、「スミザリーンズ」には興味を示さない。
次に普通のオリジナルアルバムを出せば、前作より売れなかったりしてレコード会社から「何とかしろ」ってなる。
要するにビートルズナンバーっていうのはアーティストにとって「麻薬」というか「諸刃の剣」なんですよ。
しばらくブランクが空いて活動休止状態っぽかった彼らがこういうアルバムで活動再開するってどうなんでしょう？
真面目に考えたらリスキーだと思うんだけどなぁ。
息抜きのお遊びのつもりでやってるならいいんですけどね…。

ビートルズコピーバンド・マニア向け

2007年2月22日に日本でレビュー済み

ジャケット見ただけで、衝動買い。ビートルズのコピーバンド聴きまくりの私も久々のヒット！何よりもオリジナルに忠実なのがうれしい。変にアレンジしてオリジナル目指すよりストレートにコピーしてるのがが潔い！

Too good to be just a tribute

2007年3月12日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

I was driving my fifteen-year-old daughter somewhere as she picked up the jewel case for "Meet the Smithereens!" The disc was loaded and playing as I explained to her that The Smithereens had recorded a complete cover of "Meet the Beatles!" with the intention of exacting the Fab's sound as much as could be. It wasn't an interpretation, at least not by intent.

After a pause she asked honestly, "Why don't you just put on 'MtB!' and listen to that?" Her question was not only a good one, but also a fair one.

I countered by asking why she comes in the door after school to immediately IM a friend she saw eight minutes ago on the bus. It was a lame comeback without any correlation, which left me with her question. Why didn't I just cue up "Mtb!" and listen to the real thing? Is "MtS!" any different from an Elvis impersonator?

Yes, because the Elvis impersonator tries to become Elvis, however incompletely. And because The Smithereens are The Smithereens, with a long history of great original music. And not even The Beatles can eclipse the sound of The Smithereens, which leaks out of their high resolution tribute to their source in the same sort of way that a real laugh is unavoidable and can't be contained. After all, eventually the shape and content of the protege no longer fits the contours of the mentor, which is of course the entire point.

In larger scope, culturally, The Smithereens are reminding us - those of us old enough to remember - of those electric months that straddled the end of 1963 and the start of 1964. For those not old enough, "MtS!" - and the dedication of the group to recreating the sound of The Beatles - is a sort of implicit documentray of a Western cultural watershed.

The emergence of "MtB!" in the fall of 1963, followed by the first of the appearances "The Ed Sullivan Show," was a rip in traditional mores. In such a short time, at least by popular perception, the old ended and the new began. This schism had been incubating since before JPG&R came of age, of course, and so The Beatles in no way wholly created it; nor did any one entity. But they did happen to catch the wave at just the right moment to become the presenters of "Why not?" to the masses.

For anyone who, by age or isolation, was somehow unaware of The Beatles at that time it's not really possible to fully describe their impact, so I'll just say this. I was ten years old and in the fourth grade. I left school on Friday, February 7th to enjoy the weekend. On the night of Sunday, February 9th, I watched The Beatles perform on Ed Sullivan. When I returned to school Monday, February 10th, I was a different person. I couldn't appreciate intellectually what had happened, but I knew viscerally something had. A lot of us did that Monday morning, which was only confirmed by our teacher refusing to let as talk about what we had heard and seen. But we talked anyway. Quietly at lunch and enthusiastically on the playground. Something was up, something so powerful it washed over us despite being delivered in a black-and-white image and through a tinny mono speaker. Something big, something permanent.

That, really, is what "Meet the Smithereens!" is about. And so here we are in 2007, the 21st century, dealing not with The Future as we imagined it would be way back then, but with tribal warfare, religious fundamentalist nut jobs and, once the calculated selling of cool is removed from the mix, a stunning degree of conformity. I can't think of a better time of which to be reminded than when we met The Beatles. Thanks, Smithereens, you're gear!

Meet the Smithereens...Music to my Ears!

Oh Boy! The Smithereens deliver on this one!
It is rare for me to review a Cd within the first couple days of owning it. After the first couple of listens - I just had to tell people about it, so why not write a review here at Amazon(?)
What a unique and Bold move by The Smithereens covering an entire album by Rock 'n' Roll's Greats, The Beatles - 1964's "Meet the Beatles"
This isn't just a simple tribute, NO! This is The REAL DEAL. I have been a LONG time Beatles fan, basically since I started listening to music as a child just learning to walk. I feel I started life out right getting into "Rubber Soul" - "Abbey Road" etc. I first heard "Meet the Beatles" a few years later and The Smithereens make it sound so easy. Yes, a Perfect up-dated tribute covering the World's most Be-loved Rock band - even though "Meet the Beatles" isn't considered a Favorite by most Beatle fans.
Every single song from Opener - "I Want To Hold Your Hand" through the closer track 12 - "Not A Second Time" - is a Winner!
My personal fave is "It Won't Be Long"
A Fun filled album all around, has to be considered one of the Best by Year's end. I do feel it will be my favorite of '07! ...Even though it is still early to tell, but this is a MUCH needed refreshment for the state that Rock music is in. If you like this, check out others like "11" or "Green Thoughts"
Yeah to me - "Meet the Smithereens" is 5 star material!

Better than The Beatles ?

2010年7月16日に英国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Like many guitar bands, The Smithereens have long struggled with their 'inner Scouser' and it was inevitable that they'd 'come out' eventually, but who would have thought they'd do so in such audacious fashion ? Covering the entire 'Meet The Beatles' LP from end-to-end had the potential to fail spectacularly, or at least sound like a bad Rutles album, but fortunately they've not fallen into the trap of many covers albums of being overly-reverential. Sure, these are sacred texts but The Smithereens haven't let their devotion inhibit them, and songs which have long been part of the cultural furniture have gained a new lease of life from their injection of power pop energy. 'Meet The Smithereens' might not quite be better than The Beatles but it's certainly better than The Smithereens' own stuff; long live Jerseybeat !

Classy Tribute to the Fab Gang

2007年2月26日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

I like the style of the Smithereens very much. Although they came on the scene in the 1980's, their musical style is pure sixties with a great beat with just a hint of darkness.

This latest release covers the entire Meet The Beatles debut LP nd does it in first class style. They play each of the twelve tunes within the same arrangement as the Fab Gang did only with a more modern touch, a slightly heavier beat, and of course a different vocal touch. Interestingly enough the singer on Don't Bother Me sounds slightly like John Lennon singing.

Anyway, this is a true to treat to the ears and its nic to see the Smithereens showing respect to those who came before them.

I give it 5 stars only because I can't give it six !!!!

This is the most inspired tribute to the Fabs in a LONG time. Folks who complain about it being "only 28 minutes" might do well to brush up on their Beatle history ... that's all there was on the original album! That's the point. Yet, as disciples of classic rock (see their many & varied covers - The Seeker, Just A Little, etc) these guys pay homage like very few can. They don't make it an attempt at being "the Fab Faux", "Beatlemania" or any of those other "copy bands" out there and create the "note perfect" clones, with fake accents, etc. That stuff is OK to check out "live" but why buy a record of people trying to sound exactly like the Beatles (just buy the originals for chrissakes). No, this first and foremost sounds like a SMITHEREENS album. That said, you can hear the group's musical DNA in all it's big fat ringing guitar glory. Look, nobody's going to even TRY to tell you it's "better than the beatles" - if that were the case - NOBODY would ever get a good review ! But if you love the Beatles and even LIKE the Smithereens, this record is, to put it simply, ESSENTIAL listening. Pat D and the boys carry the torch in admirable fashion. The way the Fabs passed on their musical heritage (how many Carl Perkins songs did you REALLY know without hearing of them through one or more of the fabs ?), The Smithereens are doing for us in 2007. Don't think twice - this one is WAY MORE than alright !
