商品の紹介

Rolling Stone (p.68) - Ranked #7 in Rolling Stone's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "Singer-songwriter Colin Meloy packs his storytelling eccentricities into pop-song packages of verse, hook and country-Smiths jangle..." Spin (pp.63-66) - "Ten crisp roots-rock tunes in a mere 40 minutes....The singer appears most deeply engaged with THE KING IS DEAD's more direct, plainspoken moments..." Entertainment Weekly (p.83) - "The band's latest set is more succinctly rewarding than anything it has done in years." -- Grade: A- Uncut (p.76) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[This is] the Decembrists' most immediate and outgoing album....'Dear Avery' is another sublime essay in memory, separation and regret..." Uncut (p.32) - Ranked #26 in Uncut's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "[A] clutch of warm, literate country-rock songs." Alternative Press (p.100) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "'January Hymn' and 'June Hymn' flutter by like the gentle campfire ballads they evoke..." CMJ - "THE KING OF DEAD focuses on what made the Decembrists famous in the first place: Colin Meloy's lyrical oddities and the group's pastoral sound." Billboard (p.28) - "Lead singer Colin Meloy's irrepressible baritone in all its full-throated glory stands in stark contrast to the unplugged ensemble's dulcet tones." Mojo (Publisher) (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The whole album is warm to the touch....[With] straightforward songs, transparent emotions, a little gift both to their fans and themselves." Clash (Magazine) - "[H]arking back to the relative simplicity of PICARESQUE, this latest offering is a finessed folk-rock record to bring a little taste of long summer evening drives..."

Audio Mixer: Tucker Martine. Recording information: Flora, Portland, OR; Pendarvis Farm, Happy Valley, OR; Sound Factory, Hollywood, CA. Illustrator: Carson Ellis. Photographer: Autumn de Wilde. The Decemberists' sixth, full-length studio outing finds the Portland, Oregon-based indie rock collective exploring a region that has thus far eluded them. Raised on a steady diet of Morrissey, Robyn Hitchcock, Shirley Collins, and Fairport Convention, The King Is Dead represents frontman Colin Meloy's first foray into the musical traditions of his homeland, or more specifically, it proves that he really, really likes R.E.M. "Calamity Song," which is one of three tracks to feature guitar work from Peter Buck, threatens to break into "Pretty Persuasion" or "So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry)" at any moment, and first single "Down by the Water" flirts with "The One I Love" hard enough to take it on a long weekend, though Meloy has stated that the track "started out as more of a paean to R.E.M. than I think any of us really wanted it to." David Rawlings and Gillian Welch also join the party on a number of tracks, lending their instantly recognizable voices to two of the album's finest moments, the Wildflowers-era, Tom Petty-inspired "Don't Carry It All," and the lovely, Paul Simon-esque "June Hymn" -- Meloy and Welch, the former a Montana-born Anglophile and the latter a California girl with a fetish for dustbowl Appalachia -- harmonize nicely, canceling out each other's vocal affectations. It's a refreshing change from the usual compilation of bibliophile, sea shanty/murder ballad, and while the Led Zeppelin III-style rural overhauling may isolate fans who prefer the serpentine, progressive, art rock of albums like The Crane Wife and Hazards of Love, it opens up a whole new continent for the band to explore. ~ James Christopher Monger

レビュー

トラッド・フォークの独自解釈やロック・オペラという小難しい志向を改め、真正面からルーツィーなロックに挑んだ6作目。中途半端なインディー臭さも、気取りも消えた。全米1位という成績は、コリン・メロイ率いるオレゴン州はポートランドの5人組による挑戦を、心の通ったロックを求めている多くの人たちが歓迎したという証だろう。ここには堂々たるアメリカン・ロック・バンドの雄姿が屹立している。
