商品の紹介
| Rolling Stone (p.78) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[O]n ferocious songs like 'Come Alive' and the manic neojump blues 'Tightrope', Monae's charisma and energy are so forceful that the jumble makes perfect sense." Spin - "Janelle Monae boasts so much shape-shifting talent that she had to invent an android persona just to begin to accommodate it." Uncut (p.34) - Ranked #43 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "[A] hyperactive conceptualist who drew on Bowie and musical theatre as much as Outkast..." Billboard (p.37) - "[A] sprawling journey of futuristic pop....Throughout the set, sweeping and prancing strings add beauty and drama to a vibrant storyline that centers on love." Mojo (Publisher) (p.53) - Ranked #30 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "A breathtaking collision of mutant R&B, indie-pop, lysergic psych-rock, hip hop and classical music." Paste (magazine) (p.84) - "THE ARCHANDROID is a fully immersive, theatrical experience. It's a near-perfect R&B album; hell, it's a fantastic hip-hop, psychedelic, neo-soul, dance and orchestral album too." Pitchfork (Website) - "The first listen is mostly about being wowed by the very existence of this fabulously talented young singer and her over-the-top record; every subsequent spin reveals the depths of her achievement." |

| Any misgivings about Janelle Monaes Bad Boy deal are nullified by the briefest contact with this, an extravagant 70-minute album involving more imagination, conceptual detail, and stylistic turnabouts than most gatefold prog rock epics. Credit Bad Boys Diddy for allowing Monae to fully explore the singularity on display through Metropolis, Suite I: The Chase, and work with their Wondaland crew on a bigger budget. The ArchAndroid not only picks up where The Chase let off, but contains both the second and third Metropolis suites in one shot with no discernible "lets make some hits now" intervention. The packaging alone -- the elaborate crown, the inspiration listed beside each song, etc. -- provides much to process. Liner notes from the vice-chancellor of the arts asylum at the Palace of the Dogs, Monaes residence, outline the (possible) situation fleshed out in the songs. In short, Monae was genoraped in the 28th century, sent back to the 21st century, and had their organic compounds cloned and re-purposed for the existence of ArchAndroid Cindi Mayweather, whose directive is to liberate Metropolis from a secret society of oppressors. Understanding all this stuff enhances the enjoyment of the album, but it is not required. A few tracks merely push the album along, and a gaudy Of Montreal collaboration is disruptive, but there are numerous highlights that are vastly dissimilar from one another. "Tightrope," the biggest standout, is funky soul, all locomotive percussion and lyrical prancing to match: "I tip on alligators, and little rattlesnakers/But I’m another flavor, something like a Terminator." Just beneath that is the burbling synth pop of "Wondaland," as playful and rhythmically juicy as Tom Tom Club ("So inspired, you touch my wires"); the haunted space-folk of "57821" (titled after Monae’s patient number); and the conjoined "Faster" and "Locked Inside," packing bristling energy with a new-wave bounce that morphs into a churning type of desperation worthy of Michael Jackson. Monae might not have much appeal beyond musical theater geeks, sci-fi nerds, and those who like their genres crossed-up, but no one can deny that very few are on the artists level. They can sing, sang, and scream like hell, too. ~ Andy Kellman |
