さらっと独断の全曲レビュー
独断と偏見でレビューしてみようとおもいます。
01.Death Surf
低音でうねるようなリフとタム回し、歪んだボーカルが怪しげでかっこいいハードナンバー。曲後半で差し込まれる同期セクションがいかにもオブリらしくて◎。
- OBLIVION DUST「Death Surf」 歌詞
- You got my baby baby baby baby
You got my baby baby baby baby… Shit！
Take out my pistol 45
Today’s a lovely day to die
These waves that mess me up inside
Death surf… the only way to ride
It’s calling out to me
In my final precious few
Drank a bottle had some pills
And made a song for you
When she said her heart was mine
It was all a lie
I’m in love, I’m in love
Instead of feeling warm and new
I’m in love, I’m in love
And cold
Coz you got my baby baby baby baby
You got my baby baby
I’m feeling cold
Feeling old now
You got my baby baby baby baby
The rings and the flowers
Promises all been thrown away
They’re in the trash bin and I’m with ’em nursing wounds that pain
I’m in love, I’m in love
Instead of feeling warm and new
I’m in love, I’m in love
You got my baby baby
I’m in love, I’m in love
Instead of feeling warm and new
I’m in love, I’m in love
But girl break me
Shake your head for the xxxxx to work and you’ll see
it’s unintentional
Shake your head for the xxxxx to work and you’ll see
it’s unintentional
I’m in love, I’m in love
Instead of feeling warm and new
I’m in love, I’m in love
And cold
Coz you got my baby baby baby baby
You got my baby baby
I’m feeling cold
Feeling old now
Whoa (But girl break me)
Whoa (But girl break me)
And with a blast I’ll be in her past
You got my baby baby baby baby
02.Lolita
軽快で特徴的なギターリフが印象にのこるイントロ。サビでシンセが加わり明るく広がる感じの構成は「DESIGNERS FETUS」にも通ずるものを感じます。それにしてもこのインアウトのリフはかっこいい…。
- OBLIVION DUST「Lolita」 歌詞
- I see the stars
Betray the moon to earn your gaze
And though you give them no reward
They outshine and croon for you
I can’t stop you now
In too deep
Let me own the seed of you
Because I don’t know how to break that spell
I feel it loud
I ask what could I do
Like them I kneel at your feet
Deceived by something so pure
We bloom for you
Lolita into the skies
Lolita into the skies
When I get back around
Inject your love
Maybe it’s all I need
Lolita into the skies
As they swarm
In service to their queen
In malice to their own
There’s violence in their love
I can’t stop you now
In too deep
Make me bloom for you
Lolita into the skies
Lolita into the skies
When I get back around
Inject your love
Maybe it’s all I need
Lolita into the skies
I’ll be with them for you
Lolita into the skies
Lolita into the skies
When I get back around
Inject your love
Baby it’s all I need
Lolita into the skies
I’ll be with them for you
I’ll be with them for you
I’ll be with them for you
03.Evidence
デジタル感あふれる同期音ではじまる楽曲。ブギービートの要素を取り込んだ曲ってのはこれかな？ソロ前のブレイクからワウぎみのギターソロへの流れが気持ちいい。
- OBLIVION DUST「Evidence」 歌詞
- You play the innocent card
But we’ve heard it all before
We know what you’re about
And now it’s time to confess the filthy things you do
Yeah it’s alright
Pussy wants to play
Oozing black light from a cracked halo
Hey don’t you know we were undercover and we were watching you
Stick your tongue out and lie
You’ve been caught out tonight
The girl has a snake inside her
I got your cherry and you’ll never get away so
Hey！ Hey！
Come on and give in to me
I got evidence
Hey！ Hey！
Your game is wicked and cheap
I got evidence
Hey！ Hey！
Oooooh and it’s sexual
I got evidence
Hey！ Hey！
Oh won’t you give it to me
I got evidence
Oh oh oh we got it
I couldn’t get my fleshy little heart to beat ’til you tore it out
And I’m lamenting over the soul that you already took
Stick your tongue out and lie
I will watch you tonight
Pick out the prey you want and
Strip it, abuse it, ride it ’til you’re done with it
Hey！ Hey！
Come on and give in to me
I got evidence
Hey！ Hey！
I’m gonna light you up with my evidence
Hey！ Hey！
And now I feel it in my heart
I got evidence
Hey！ Hey！
Oh won’t you give it to me
I got evidence
Oh oh oh so glitter it up
Stick your tongue out and lie
Come and scratch me tonight
The girl has a snake inside her
Got got your cherry and you’ll never get away so
Hey！ Hey！
You better give in to me girl
Hey！ Hey！
You’re under lock and under key
Hey！ Hey！
Oh yeah I feel it in my heart
Oh oh oh so glitter it up
Hey！ Hey！
Come on and give in to me
I got evidence
Hey！ Hey！
I’m gonna light you up with my evidence
Hey！ Hey！
And now I feel it in my heart
I got evidence
Hey！ Hey！
You’re such a beautiful freak
I got evidence
Oh oh oh we got it
Oh oh oh so glitter it up
04.Under My Skin
音階的にすすむコード進行が特徴的。個人的にはコード感がどこか00年代のバンド・サウンドを彷彿とさせた。
- OBLIVION DUST「Under My Skin」 歌詞
- A hidden door had me in her maze
Sell a heart
Cut it and replace it
I’m not that kind of girl
I’m not that kind of girl
Another scar
Better go and heal it
Sometimes
I don’t even feel it
I’m not that kind of girl
I’m not that kind of girl
Into blurry
Into numb
Into beauty
Into her
I met her Sunday
And had her Monday
I mean it’s something
And she’s so soft soft soft soft！！！
I met her Sunday
She left on Thursday
So surprised, you’re tongue tied
It happens all the time
Please stay with me and bleed
My melancholy girl
In town we wait here for you
Nothing under my skin
I feel like you’re dissolving me my love
Open the wound
Bet you find a secret
I sell hearts and I don’t give a fuuuuck
I’m not that kind of girl
I’m not that kind of girl
I met her Sunday
And had her Monday
I spent the time askew
Soft soft soft soft！！！
I couldn’t fix it
I’m so afflicted
So surprised, you’re tongue tied
Flip a coin it’ll fall from view
Please stay with me and bleed
My melancholy girl
In town we wait here for you
So stay with me and dream
My visionary girl
In sight we wait here for you
Please stay with me and sing
Imaginary girl
In sound we wait here for you
Drifting under my skin
I feel like you’re dissolving me my love
Into blurry
Into numb
Into beauty
Into her
Into blurry
Into numb
Into beauty
Into you
05.Nightcrawler
これも特徴的なリフの楽曲、ディスコ要素を取り込んだのはこの曲かな？サビの轟音感とそれ以外のセクションがキッパリ分かれてるのも面白い。一番好きな曲かも。
- OBLIVION DUST「Nightcrawler」歌詞
- In you there’s a spirit fixture
I want it too
I came to be alive
How come I never got soul？
In you there’s a thing
I need it to get me hope
I tried to make it stick
I tried to take it home
I’ve been awake
Up in the night
I take yours but instead it flows out like water… water…
And it washes all away like
Yeah it washes all away like water… water…
Sneak, steal, hold it, watch me crawl
I hate rock n’ roll
Sneak, steal, hold it, watch me crawl
Was it ever in me？
I’ve been awake
Up in the night
I take yours but instead it flows out like water… water…
And it washes all away like
Yeah it washes all away like water… water…
At night time when stars shine
I wander for souls
And when it’s from your life
I want you to know
I’ve been awake
Up in the night
I take yours but instead it flows out like water… water…
And it washes all away like
Yeah it washes all away like water… water…
06.Caprice
ストレートでシンプルなアレンジ、一番大衆的かな。
- OBLIVION DUST「Caprice」 歌詞
- I been awake all night in this bed I lie
I never sleep too well when you stay out late
I gotta hold you girl
I gotta hold you girl…Put it all away
Give me the last dance and add a little kiss
Oh such a sweet memento to reminisce
I gotta hold you girl
I gotta hold you girl…Put it all away
Sometimes caprice inside of you
Where’d you go to now？
And my words don’t sway you like they should
So see it
I get the feeling you are lonely
So I’m turning on the lights in the stars above you
I get the feeling you are lonely
So I’ll burn ’em twice as bright
And I send them all to you
And in the next room, I could have sworn I saw
An old backpack full of your favourite clothes
I gotta hold you girl
I gotta hold you girl…Put it all away
Sometimes caprice inside of you
Where’d you go to now？
And my words don’t sway you like they should
So see it
I get the feeling you are lonely
So I’m turning on the lights in the stars above you
I get the feeling you are lonely
So I’ll burn ’em twice as bright
And I send them all to you
And if you need a little help and you’re feeling low
I can put a smile on that face of yours
All you gotta do is come home to me baby
But if you feel as though you need to be heading off
You might live a long life and never know
What we could of had tomorrow
I get the feeling you are lonely
So I’m turning on the lights in the stars above you
I get the feeling you are lonely
So I’ll burn ’em twice as bright
And I send them all to you
I get the feeling you are lonely
Come back to me tonight ’cause I’m so in love with you
I get the feeling you are lonely
But if you’re staying out for good
Then I’ll say goodnight to you
07.In Motion
これも結構好みな曲。イントロ〜Aまでとサビとでこれもだいぶ印象が違う。後半でシンセっぽいアルペジオが入ってくるのも、いままでのオブリにはない印象の音色だったからなんか意外。アルバムの最後をしっとりしめずにバツっとキレよく締めてくれた。
- OBLIVION DUST「In Motion」歌詞
- I set her down
As she waited for the night to turn into some light I knew
That the world was all worn and would never taste new to you
But we never had a chance
Born into a life confused
Somewhere deep in limbo
Break free, let the wheels run wild tonight
High speed, we’re the Gods of the wasteland
Oh yeah clock it now
Oh
Drag move, speed hit and die
Drag move, speed hit and drive it
See it all go down in fumes and flames
And the world is lost and falling down
There’s beauty in the mess
See it all go down in fumes and flames
And the world is lost and falling down
There’s beauty in the mess
I set her down
With counterfeit hope pouring from the TV screen
Like a slit wrist
The generation left to lose
And these gasoline dreams are the only way to get us to
Something somewhere oh
Break free, let the wheels run wild tonight
High speed, we’re the Gods of the wasteland
Oh yeah clock it now
Oh
Drag move, speed hit and die
Drag move, speed hit and drive it
See it all go down in fumes and flames
And the world is lost and falling down
There’s beauty in the mess
See it all go down in fumes and flames
And the world is lost and falling down
There’s beauty in the mess
Feeling dirty and oh so pretty
Feeling dirty and oh so pretty
I just wanna be numb
See it all go down in fumes and flames
And the world is lost n’ falling down
There’s beauty in the mess
See it all go down in fumes and flames
And the world is lost n’ falling down
There’s beauty in the mess
Ahh in motion
Ahh in motion
あとがき
[rating]
ひさびさにオブリ聴いてめっちゃライブに行きたくなった。
8月からリリースツアーがあるみたいなんだけどちょうど地元に来る日に帰省しているという…。なんという不運。さいあく祝日休みでツアーファイナルの東京公演に行くってのもありっちゃありだな…とか考えている。飛行機代めちゃ高そうな時期だけど。
つべでこのテザーとか見てたら尚更ライブいきてえ。。
