Product Description

Our Favourite Shop, the Style Council's second proper album, was still quite eclectic, but it didn't seem as schizophrenically diverse as Cafe Bleu. Paul Weller had been able to incorporate his soul and jazz experiments into his songwriting, writing the fine "Walls Come Tumbling Down," "Come to Milton Keynes," "Boy Who Cried Wolf," and "Down in the Seine," which were some of his best songs for the Style Council. The occasional misguided experiment remained — the stiff funk of "The Internationalists" and the self-righteous "The Stand Up Comic's Instructions" were particularly embarrassing — but the record was more cohesive and stronger than the debut. In America, the album was released without "Our Favourite Shop" and retitled Internationalists.

スタカンの最高傑作であるこのアルバム何度聴いても飽きませんね。音はおしゃれ、歌詞は辛辣、このアンバランスがたまらないですね。シングルのカップリングにいい曲多いです。２CDエディションオススメです。

1stと並び反体制的政治色の濃い’85年2nd。1stのﾌﾚﾝﾁ･ｼﾞｬｽﾞ風な色合いは薄れ、軽快で洗練された上質なﾎﾟｯﾌﾟ･ｻｳﾝﾄﾞが聴ける。全体の統一感と曲の完成度は『Cafe Bleu』よりはるかに高く一気に聞き通せる出来。ｱﾙﾊﾞﾑのCD化にあたって追加したM15は彼らの代表曲。いまだに色あせない名作。SHM-CDのせいか定かではないが、ｽﾀｶﾝの1stと本作に関して言えば、音圧が高く非常に音が良いです。あくまでもSHM-CDの成果か分かりませんが？

耳障りの良い小洒落た印象のポップなサウンドとは真逆の、辛辣なまでの政治的な過激な歌詞がこのアルバムの肝なので（ラヴソングは数曲しかない）、国内盤がお勧め。
