Rough Tradeの年間チャートで2位(!)につけていたので興味を
持ったのですが、これは良いんじゃないですか?
初期のThe Jamを思い出させる質感です(2曲目のイントロとか
ニヤッとしちゃうよね)が、もっとバラエティーに富んでて、
コーラスで小技を利かせたり、飽きさせないです。
小技の聴いたいい曲、って意味では初期XTCみたいなところもあるかな?
Green Dayばっか聴いててもつまらないでしょ?
「ベタなバンド名がなあー」とか嘆かずに、まずご一聴を。

Dogs Die in Hot Carsに続きxtcの遺伝子を継ぐ新人の登場です。
dogsよりも引き出しが多く、複雑かつ荒々しい。その反面、ハーモニーやコーラスを多用したりするのだからおもしろい。
こんなに英国ロックを強く感じる新人は久しぶりなのではないだろうか。
あまり雑誌などでは紹介されませんが、2004に出てきた新人の中ではトップクラスです。

ひねくれたメロディとリズムを大声を出して歌う
ひたすら乾ききって見せ、隙を見せない。
シンプルで爽快なアルバム
彼らは良くロックを理解していた。

いやぁ。普段ギターロック系はあまり聴かないけれど、これはとっても好き。80年代の初期XTC,Cureの荒けずりな勢いと、スリリングな曲の構成、キャッチーなメロディー、シングルカットできそうな曲が満載で聴くところがたくさんある、Franz Ferdinandが2004年のベストに押すのもわかる。個人的には80年代のニューウェーブっぽさがつぼです。

ジャムの未発表曲です。と言われてもちょっとうなづいてしまうかも。
それぐらいモッドの王様ポール・ウェラーの声に激似。
でも、音楽は、その、なんていうか、日本人ぽい。
強いていうならクラッシュ?
日本人がロックで明るく歌うと許されない感があるけど、
英語でしかも御大ポール・ウェラーに激似ってんだから、
かっこいいに決まってる。

Exceptional debut, better than most bands' best of albums
2004年7月22日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This album is absolutely stunning, almost as good as seeing one of this band's stonking live shows. The Futureheads have their basic roots in guitar-based indie/alternative music, with a strong punk feel and attitude. But that's just the starting point. They have a wide variety of musical influences which they wrap up in a tight bundle of stomping tunes, crashing instruments and vocal harmonies. All four band members sing, but not necessarily the same things at the same time. They punctuate songs with delirious vocals, whip-smart guitar, bass and drums and dizzying changes in pace, intensity or even tune whenever they feel like it. But they always carry you along with them wherever they go. They somehow combine the best punky singalongability (is that a word?) with real depth and experiments in sound.
There is not a weak track on this album. There is also nothing longer than about three minutes on the album either. In true punk style they strip away the unnecessary guitar breaks, chorus repeats and twiddly bits other bands use as padding, leaving two to three minutes of perfectly formed song. But there is nothing basic here. They fill every second of their songs with meaty hooks, melodies of all kinds as well as superb vocals, from straight singing to whatever shouts and noises they can pack in to a spare second. Two or even three tunes, some of which don't sound like they should work in a song, often vie for space in one track, all under the complete control of this talented foursome. Some songs have so much going on that you can't believe only two and a half minutes have elapsed by the time they finish, but they are all put seamlessly together.
It's hard to believe this is their debut album because it sounds like a best of, from infectious stompalong anthems like Decent Days and Nights (released July 26th as a single), brooding powerhouse tracks like Manray, the melodic but edgy Meantime and the fragile beauty of Danger of the Water. That's not to mention their stunning punk reimagining of Kate Bush's classic Hounds of Love with four voices acting almost like an orchestra over scuzzy guitars. There's at least eight songs on here that most bands would have as their flagship single to put them on the map, and the other tracks would still stand out on most people's records, they just have the courage to explore other, often murkier waters.
This album has got everything - immediate tunes, songs that grow on you, varied moods and pace, and it definitely rewards repeated listening. You can sing along and just enjoy 15 killer tracks or you can really listen, and you will be repaid with thoughtful lyrics and themes and all kinds of hidden depths in the music. The Futureheads deserve to be the biggest band in the world, but whatever else, they are certainly the most exciting act to arrive in a very long time.

Good post-punk, but far from classic - genre fans will be satisfied
2006年1月13日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The Futureheads are a good and unique-sounding British post-punk group, but I would definitely not put this album up with the likes of Gang Of Four's "Entertainment!" or even the Talking Heads' "Talking Heads: 77". It lacks the charm and originality of those two albums, but that's not to say that this is bad. The first mistake the band makes is that the singers aren't that appealing - I can definitely imagine a good amount of people not liking them. They just lack the personality or charisma that, say, David Byrne had. However, they aren't "terrible" and are certainly standable, which is good (they're similar to Kaiser Chiefs' singer). There are no bad songs here, but there are some ok and good ones - there's nothing great and memorable here like, say, Bloc Party's "Banquet" or "Helicopter" ("Aims" comes close). Lyrically the album is easy to make out most of the time and is relatively interesting albeit very forgettable. You'll pay attention to the lyrics, yes, but you won't remember any of them. Musically it sounds like any other post-punk band out there today, so nothing really new here. Basically, post-punk fans will enjoy this album, but not "greatly". I'm pretty sure that non-genre fans won't like it that much. Slightly recommended.
Highlights include:
the entire album!

Just plain average
2004年7月16日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
If you cast your mind back to the days of Britpop - perhaps the last time there were this many "decent" British bands being touted at the same time - there was a definite hierarchy within the bands of the time.
The same is true today: if Franz Ferdinand are the Blur of the current generation (say Premiership status), then perhaps Dogs Die in Hot Cars are the Supergrass (first division?), unfortunately that leaves the Futureheads as the Menswear - one or two decent tracks and then lots of filler on the album!
Buyer beware... just an average 80s rehash...
