On Lounge Against the Machine, alt-rock hits get the Vegas treatment way before their time. Vocalist Richard Cheese and his piano trio really know how to warp a song. Rage Against the Machine's "Guerilla Radio" sounds smooth as silk, if incredibly schmaltzy, in the hands of this wayward lounge act. The Dead Kennedys' "Holiday in Cambodia" gets completely defanged in Cheese's rendition. And it's definitely strange to hear the rage drained out of Nirvana's "Rape Me" and replaced with bland, mindless enthusiasm. The tone of these covers is so far removed from the originals that at times you forget what you're really listening to. At moments like these, Cheese and the boys sound like some anonymous combo going through the motions. But then you'll hear the singer let loose with some foul language or croon a harsh line and it sounds downright strange and funny. Lounge Against the Machine can be tiresome at times, but it certainly takes the piss out of these songs. --Fred Cisterna

朗々とした歌声をもったRichard Cheeseなる人物率いるKey.、Ba.、Dr.の4人組編成でL.Aを中心に活動するカヴァーバンドなのだが、これがまたただ者ではない。なんと彼ら、ロック、メタル、パンクのヒットナンバーをジャジーなラウンジミュージックアレンジでカヴァーしてしまおうというとんでもないコンセプトを掲げているバンドなのだ。
LIMP BIZKIT、RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE、THE OFFSPRING、NINE INCH NAILSにSUBLIME・・・冒頭5曲だけでも錚々たるメンツだがこれ以降も有名バンドのあの名曲たちがユーモアたっぷりのアレンジで演奏されている。
実際聴いてみると確かに歌詞はなぞっているのだが、バカにしてんのかってくらいの編曲が施され原曲レ●プも甚だしい仕上がり(笑)
ギターの音はしないしリズムもテンポもメロディーすらもいじくられたりしているため、曲名を言われないとカヴァー元がわからないくらい崩された曲もある。しかしムダに上手く表現力のあるRichardの歌声も相まってこれがまた妙な中毒性があるのだ。
また、曲の前に短い前説のようなものやメンバー紹介を絡めた曲もあり(THE PRODIGYの曲に乗せて!)疑似ライブのような流れになっていておもしろい。おしゃれなジャズバーあたりでのライブを聴いている気になってくる。
惜しむらくは16曲入りで再生時間は30分ちょいという非常に短い尺であることか・・・
それぞれの曲が2分半程度に縮められているし特に短い曲は1分もない。これも彼らのこだわりの一つなのかもしれないがもう少し長くしてくれてもいいかな~と感じた。
彼らのコンセプト上、キワモノ感が強いのは否めないが是非一度聴いてみるべきアルバムだと思う。原曲の破壊具合に憤慨するか中毒になるか、ハッキリ好みが分かれる作品だとは思うが。。NIRVANAのRape Meのカヴァーは一聴の価値はある酷さだと思う(笑)
ちなみに、本作収録ではないがZack Snyderが監督したゾンビ映画、DAWN OF THE DEADのリメイク版で使用されたDISTURBEDの名曲、"Down With The Sickness"のシュールなラウンジカヴァーは彼らによるもの。
