Liner Notes

Japanese

『Alive and Well』は、QUIET RIOTが持つ、あの陽気なロックンロール感と、大きく歌える豪快なコーラスを、再び力強く前面へと押し出した、再始動作だ。新たに書き下ろされた楽曲の勢いと、往年の馴染み深い名曲たちの、新録による再解釈とが並んで収録されており、バンドの輝かしい歴史を振り返りながらも、現在進行形の、確かな熱を保っている。タイトルどおりの、力強い生命力に満ちた内容である。 冒頭の表題曲“Alive and Well”の力強い推進力、“Angry”の攻撃性、そして“The Ritual”のドラマ性まで、新曲はいずれも聴き応えがある。“Overworked and Underpaid”“Slam Dunk (Way to Go!)”のような曲も、バンドの健在ぶりを伝えている。さらに、“Cum on Feel the Noize”や“Metal Health”といった、代表曲の再録音も収録され、ファンには嬉しい内容だ。 肩の力を抜いた、軽快なグルーヴと、まっすぐで力強いギターとが、アルバム全体を、実に軽やかに、そして楽しげに進めていく。ケヴィン・ダブロウの、変わらぬ個性的な歌声も健在だ。過去の栄光に安住することなく、あくまで現役のロックンロール・バンドとしての、親しみやすく、前向きな魅力に満ちた、充実した一枚と言える。

English

Alive and Well is a restart on which Quiet Riot again powerfully foregrounds its cheerful rock-and-roll feel and big, singable, bold choruses. Newly written songs and re-recorded reinterpretations of familiar classics of old are placed side by side, keeping an ongoing, sure heat while looking back on the band’s brilliant history. Content full of powerful vitality, true to its title. From the powerful drive of the opening title track “Alive and Well” and the aggression of “Angry” to the drama of “The Ritual,” every new song is engaging, while cuts like “Overworked and Underpaid” and “Slam Dunk (Way to Go!)” convey the band’s vigor. Additionally, re-recordings of signature songs such as “Cum on Feel the Noize” and “Metal Health” are included — content that pleases fans. Unforced, light groove and straight, powerful guitar move the whole album truly lightly and merrily. Kevin DuBrow’s unchanging distinctive voice is also intact. Without resting in past glory, as an active rock-and-roll band, it is a fulfilling record full of accessible, forward-looking appeal.
