内容紹介
The Radio Department's releases have been referred to as The perfect mix between Saint Etienne and early The Jesus and Mary Chain and The best songs Pet Shop Boys never wrote and the album you'd hoped My Bloody Valentine did after "Loveless". And perhaps both comparisons makes sense. In a way. But the truth is that Sweden's No. 1 alternative pop geniuses only sound like one band - themselves. We've waited four long years for this brand new masterpiece, but a simple press on Play and you'll know it's been worth every second. "Clinging to a scheme" combines the best components from their previous albums "Lesser matters" and "Pet grief" with soul guitars, P-funk, cut/paste-beats and 70's futuristic orchestra sounds. Breathtaking!

...だけど、なんだか希望に満ちてて柔らかい。優しい音。
低い位置でテンションが一定の友と
夜中まで腹を割って話した感じと言うか。
遠くから霞んで聞こえる声やリズムが気持ちいい。
ジャケットも、ホームビデオの画面みたいな解像度の低さが
曲調に合ってて好きだなぁ。
篭もったVoとベースが不穏に響き
シューケイザーに準ずる感じはします。
(それがネオシューケイザーという物かもしれませんが)
リズムがチープで80年代っぽく聞こえる面もあり
狙ってるのか?天然なのか?
ゆるゆるさがとても懐かしく気持ちいいです。
周知徹底された古ぼけたラジオからこぼれてくるようなボーカルエフェクト、日本人の琴線に触れる憂いを帯びたメロディは今作でも健在。特筆すべきは2曲目。どこかオリエンタルな郷愁を感じさせるシンセのフレーズに導かれて、小気味いいカッティングと人懐っこいメロディが絡み合い、思わずハートをわしづかみされること請け合い。
ギターポップ、ネオアコ、シューゲイザー、ドリームポップ好き必聴の名曲です。他も佳曲ぞろいで、アルバム1枚通して聴ける安定感は今の時代大変貴重。
国内盤にはあのシャーデーのカバーまで入っとります。大推薦盤!

Lyrically, the point of view (NOT the vocal technique) is a slightly more subtle Morrissey, but equally capable of venom and indeed humor at times (see "The Worst Taste In Music" and "I Wanted You To Feel the Same"). Although hardly profound, they consistently mine the world of failed/failing/complex relationships, but the music never comes off as depressing so much as contemplative and introspective. One unique aspect of the lyrics is that they provide a refreshingly new take on the silly love song as seen through the perspective of homosexuality. It's irrelevant if that's not your sort of thing - almost every song works from a hetero bias as well, but I find them more interesting in the context intended by the artists.
My first taste of this band was "Heaven's On Fire" - arguably the greatest song of the decade (either the 00s or the 10s, maybe both) - from the third album "Clinging To a Scheme". The mere thought of someone not liking that song is literally inconceivable - from the caustic lambasting of the music industry right down to the great intro quote by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. I happen to love almost every song they've ever written, and the few I don't love are still quite good. I sampled songs from all their albums, then promptly bought all three in one fell swoop. Please do yourself a favor and do the same, assuming you enjoy the snippets you hear - you will not be disappointed.
As an extremely jaded music fan enjoying every era of popular music, I find it extremely difficult to get excited by any new song, much less an entire album. These albums blew me away. Which one is best? Which one to buy first? I don't know - the first two "Lesser Matters" and "Pet Grief" explore similar territory. "Clinging To a Scheme", true to it's name, clings to that formula but adds a few new twists, including some white boy reggae. Please just buy them all. And "Passive Aggressive" too, a two disc collection of singles and B sides, but with very little redundancy - none of the B sides and even a few of the A sides are not on the first three albums.
Please forgive me - this identical review is copied and pasted onto each of their albums, but that is only because each one warrants 5 stars and they all seem to be essential elements of a greater whole. Rather than split hairs about how they differ, I prefer to stress how great this band is, in general, so that no matter which album readers click on, they will get the same introduction to the music.
