商品の説明
内容紹介
With THE CON, singer/songwriter-guitarist identical twins Tegan and Sara Quin build on their break-through success of 2004's SO JEALOUS. Eighteen months of touring followed, including shows with the Killers. At the same time, their track "Walking with a Ghost" was ubiquitous and was covered by the White Stripes. THE CON, co-produced by Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla, marks the most mature effort to date in the rising career of Tegan and Sara.
Amazonレビュー
It's hard to follow up the record that made you famous. For many artists, that's their first album, and the disappointing results are termed the "sophomore slump." Luckily, Tegan and Sara's star-making Juno-nominated album, So Jealous, was their fourth--and their fifth album, The Con, not only avoids any kind of slump but sets a new bar of quality quite high. While both a darker and quirkier album than the near-perfect heartbreak pop of So Jealous, The Con skillfully packs its instant hooks in so tight, virtually every line becomes the one you want to sing along to--and the twins' lyrics aren't your typical pop pabulum. Layer upon layer of tasty ear candy coat considered sentiments like "Nobody likes to but I really like to cry," "I felt you in my legs before I ever met you," and "Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at"--lyrics that feel honest and add an emotional urgency and depth rarely heard on the radio. However, the biggest leap Tegan and Sara made on this record was not the lyrical content, but how the album itself was created. The switch to coproducing with indie superstar Christopher Walla (Decemberists, Death Cab for Cutie) is apparent, and part of what gives this record its distinctive and innovative touch. From the odd structure of "I Was Married" to the thumping electronica of "Are You Ten Years Ago," The Con reverberates with unabashed creativity, and it's a rare pleasure to hear it done so well. I would be surprised if another band this year made a better record--it's really that good. A special bonus for fans: don't shy away from the deluxe edition of this album--it includes a DVD with a feature-length intimate documentary on the making of the album, offering a lot of insight into their creative process. --Alan Wiley

Mal wieder überzeugen die kanadischen Power-Twins mit Tiefgründigkeit, Gefühl (wenn auch zumeist Herzschmerz, aber genau dafür lieben wir Fans sie ja so sehr) cleveren Texten und eingängingen Melodien.
Ein MUSS für alle Fans! Und für "Neueinsteiger" eine gute Gelegenheit zu einem zu werden :)
Einfach nur genial und zu 100% empfehlenswert!
For one, the Quins' writing has improved, evident in such songs as "Nineteen" when Tegan admits to an unknown "you", "I felt you in my legs before I ever met you/And when I laid beside you for the first time I told you/'I feel you in my heart and I don't even know you.'" Or when Sara's breathy voice lends itself to the haunting "Floorplan" with "I want to draw you a floorplan of my head and heart/I want to give you directions, helpful hints/what you'll be looking for".
The girls' musicianship has also taken a great leap. The variety of sounds weaved around disarmingly subtle, yet powerful voices may leave some listeners feeling alienated after the first listen. The alternation of beats and peculiarity of song structure on this record will not be an instant hit with most people, but after a few listens, appreciation is sure to blossom.
Overall, the Con is a triumphant record of love, loss, and healing. It's lyrics are uncomfortably honest, not necessarily obvious and they're placed upon a perfect backdrop of both haunting melodies and chipper beats (complete with bright piano, electric and acoustic guitars, thumping basslines--contributed by both Hunter Burgan of AFI and Matt Sharp of the Rentals, and the occasional steel guitar). It's the musical equivalent of having your lover tell you everything you ever wanted (and never wanted) to hear. The good, the bad, and the ugly. It hurts. But love always does.
