内容紹介
Rooney is: Ned Brower - Drums, backing vocals Taylor Locke - Guitars, backing vocals Robert Schwartzman - Vocals, Guitar Louie Stevens - Keyboards Matthew Winter -- Bass
Their second album "Calling The World" - a pop-rock manifesto and contribution to the rock-pop body of work initiated by The Beatles and The Beach Boys and propagated by subsequent groups such as Queen, E.L.O., Cheap Trick, The Cars, Jellyfish and Weezer.
Lead singer Robert Schwartzman wrote all of the songs on "Calling the World" after searching for a sound that would at once rock and "also make people dance."
The first single from "Calling the World" is "When Did Your Heart Go Missing?" - an effervescent head-bobber with an infectious chorus. The colorful video was shot in various locations in Los Angeles by noted director Benny Boom (50 Cent, Missy Elliot) and depicts a day in the California life of Rooney, complete with afternoon wake-up, beach bar-b-q house party, classic car Hollywood cruise and late-night Silver Lake club romp.
Other songs from the album include the mini-rock opera "I Should Have Been After You," "Believe In Me," a driving synth-propelled call for a leap of faith, "What For" a breezy and melodic slice of friendly advice, and "Help Me Find My Way," a poignant ode to Robert's late father.
Producer John Fields (Andrew W.K., Switchfoot) recorded "Calling The World" with Rooney in Los Angeles by harnessing the band's expert musicianship via live takes and extemporaneous improvisations, at times even using a laptop to capture the urgency of the moment. "Rooney" sold 400,000 albums of their debut and toured extensively across the United States and Europe. The members of Rooney recently hosted a Monday-night residency at Los Angeles' renown Roxy nightclub during the entire month of April 2007 so they could play their new "Calling the World" material for their loyal, hometown fans first. They were joined on stage by friends to perform covers including Phantom Planet, The Donnas, The Chapin Sisters, Ben Lee, Susana Hoffs (who performed Walk Like An Egyptian with the band), and Cherrytree Records label mates The Feeling.
Rooney released their eponymous, debut album in 2002 when the median age of the band was 19 years old.
Rooney is a favorite of other bands who are constantly asking to hit the road with them. They've toured with Weezer, The Strokes, All American Rejects, Travis, Pete Yorn. In May 2007, Rooney embark on a club tour of the UK and Continental Europe and return to the US for a national tour as opening act for Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas.
Amazonレビュー
Rooney's second CD, Calling the World, contains a first single--"When Did Your Heart Go Missing?"--that starts out with a guitar riff so familiar, you swear that it must be a cover tune. By the chorus, however, the old-school, Wham-sounding melody (with frontman Robert Schwartzman emulating an early-day George Michael) reminds you that this is familiar just because it is simple, straight-up pop-n-roll. "I Should've Been After You" is a catchy little ditty that shows the extent of their love for '60s British invasion pop, albeit with a hefty dose of Robbie Williams-esque open-throated melodies on the side. Rooney's music--and even their cover art--tends to hearken '60s bands such as The Monkees and Herman's Hermits in terms of their sugar-sweetness, while "Paralyzed" and "All In Your Head" changes things up a bit with a nu-wave Cars sound. Like sugar, the disc might provide occasional moments of elation, but much of their music ("Calling the World", "Tell Me Soon", "Love Me or Leave Me") lacks the proverbial protein to sustain serious listeners for more than just a few pleasant minutes. --Denise Sheppard

耳に残るメロディと、意外にもしっかりとした演奏とサウンドは優等生的とも言えます。
この値段で12曲入っていて全部良い!!!!
みんなもRooneyを聞くべし+。:.゚ヽ(*'∀`)ノ゚.:。+゚
ファースト ROONEY に続く二枚目。
ビートルズ、ビーチ・ボーイズ、チープ・トリック
をあわせたようなサウンド
ジャケットからわかるように、七十年代のブリティッシュ・テイストを持ったバンドですね。
内容的には良い曲がそっろている。
価格も安いし損ないかも。
久しぶりにアメリカのバンドでいいな、と思った。
骨太なロックなのに、やけにアメリカ臭くなくて。
メロディが良いので、今年日本でブレイクしたMeleeが好きな人には、これもオススメかも。
Meleeよりはロック色が強いけど。
個人的には、歌詞がゆっくりめでメロディに流れるようにマッチしているので、一緒に歌いやすい所が気に入っている。
ライブ行ったら、観客と一体になって歌って、盛り上がりそうだな。
このアルバムの中でのオススメは「Believe In Me」。けっこうハマった。
アレンジもサウンドも言うことがない。
なぜ売れないのか、そのことが不思議だ。
しかし、恐らくメンバーは80年代生まれだろうに・・・もしかして90年代?
非常に丁寧につくりこまれた作品。
そりゃないだろっていうアルバムジャケットや邦題は
このバンドの特性をわかりやすく表現したものである。
とにかくアルバム全編が非常に聴き心地よく響く。
ノスタルジックな青春風景を切り取った良作である。

From track to track the seemingly flow right into the next song with nothing but great music being played, sung and lyrics written which makes for a cd worth purchasing. Plus being able to add things that have happened in your life on record. It helps not really deal with it..but just lets other people know that hey we have issues too. Passing of a parent is something you never get over you just try and make it through each day. That's what the last track to me feels like "Help Me Find My Way. Its last for a reason and that's to leave you with those thoughts on your mind.
(Sorry for running off track there)
But Rooney's sophomore effort suffers no signs of the dreaded 2nd album curse that seems to plague some bands out there. Not them they just go out and do what makes them and their fans happy and that is to make quality, fun yet engaging music.
This is it "Calling the World" check it out...
you know ya want too...lol
Later.
But that depends on your taste in music.
Good and speedy service.
