Heart On＜限定盤＞

Rolling Stone (p.124) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "On their third album, the duo are as danceable as ever, but they've tiptoed away from straight musical pastiche, crudding up their blues boogie with low-fi fuzziness and odd-ball percussion." Spin (p.90) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "HEART ON vaults right over, taking flight on an updraft of woozy audacity and shuddering riffs." Alternative Press (p.146) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The title rack and 'Prissy Prancin' flaunt some of EODM's best assets: Booty shakin' grooves topped with loud, grimy guitars." Magnet (p.106) - "Chugging riffs and falsetto vocals abound on these 12 tracks..." Q (Magazine) (p.113) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[The music] has evolved from knockabout, garage-y origins to this third album's more expansive, and potent, Peaches-meets-STICKY-FINGERS aesthetic." Clash (Magazine) (p.85) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[They] wrangle an extensive posse to raise some hell again. HEART ON is decidedly less lo-fi than previous releases, but the boys don't travel far from their amphetamine-fueled, blues-based, hand-clapping signature sound."

クイーンズ・オブ・ザ・ストーン・エイジのジョシュ・オムがドラムを叩く趣味性の強いプロジェクト……という認識だったが、この3作目はかなり本気モードだ。良い意味で下品なセクシーさは保持しつつ、より純度を増したロックンロールを鳴らしていて、まるで70年代初頭のローリング・ストーンズのような曲もある。〈おバカ〉的なイメージは捨て、優れたロック・アルバムとして向き合うべし。
