Liner Notes

Japanese

『The Order of Things』は、ALL THAT REMAINSがヘヴィなリフの圧力と、すぐ耳に残るクリーン・ヴォーカルのメロディを両立させた第7作だ。2015年2月に発表され、ラム・オブ・ゴッドなども手がけたジョシュ・ウィルバーがプロデュースを担当した。刻みの強いギター、タイトに押し出すドラム、感情の起伏を作る歌が、短い曲の中でも明快な起承転結を生んでいる。前作から3年、久々の新作だった。 攻撃性を保ちながら、サビでは大きく開ける。その対比が作品全体の推進力となり、メタルコア由来の重さを、より広いハード・ロックの聴きやすさへつないでいる。先行シングル“No Knock”の攻撃性、冒頭の“This Probably Won't End Well”のフック、“The Greatest Generation”の広がり、“Tru-Kvlt-Metal”の皮肉、締めの“Criticism and Self Realization”まで、前作より速く重く、そしてメロディアスだと評された。ベースのジーン・セイガンが参加する最後の作品でもあり、彼女は同年に脱退することになる。鋭さとフックを同時に求めるリスナーに向く、密度の高い一枚だ。

English

The Order of Things is the seventh album, balancing the pressure of heavy riffs with clean vocal melodies that stick immediately. Released in February 2015, produced by Josh Wilbur, known for Lamb of God among others. Hard-chugging guitar, tightly pushed drums and singing that builds emotional swell create a clear arc even within short songs. Coming three years after the last record, it had been a while. It keeps the aggression while opening wide at the chorus. That contrast becomes the whole record's drive, connecting metalcore-derived weight to a broader hard rock accessibility. From the aggression of the advance single “No Knock,” the hook of the opener “This Probably Won't End Well,” the expanse of “The Greatest Generation,” the sarcasm of “Tru-Kvlt-Metal,” to the closing “Criticism and Self Realization,” it was called faster, heavier and more melodic than its predecessor. It's also the last album with bassist Jeanne Sagan, who would leave that same year. A record for listeners wanting sharpness and hooks at once.
