The Greatest Generation
The Greatest Generation — четвёртый студийный альбом американской эмо-поп-группы The Wonder Years, изданный лейблом Hopeless Records 14 мая 2013 года. Продюсером записи, как и предыдущего альбома группы «Suburbia I’ve Given You All and Now I’m Nothing», выступил Стив Эветтс.
История создания[править | править код]
13 января 2013 года вокалист Дэн Кэмпбелл сообщил о завершении группой предварительной работы над материалом, а 12 февраля было объявлено об окончании студийной записи. Альбом завершает концептуальную трилогию, начатую пластинками «The Upsides» (2010) и «Suburbia I’ve Given You All and Now I’m Nothing», и посвящён личным переживаниям Кэмпбелла, связанным со страхом, одиночеством и потерей ориентиров. Журналист Стивен Хайден провёл параллели между «The Greatest Generation» и работами групп Japandroids, Fucked Up и Cloud Nothings, отметив общность их музыкальной ДНК. Трек «Dismantling Summer» был написан под впечатлением от сердечного приступа, случившегося у деда Кэмпбелла.
Релиз и продвижение[править | править код]
6 марта 2013 года были официально анонсированы дата выхода альбома, список композиций и обложка. В поддержку релиза группа отправилась в хедлайнерский тур по США, в котором их сопровождали коллективы Fireworks, Citizen и Real Friends. 19 марта был опубликован видеотрейлер альбома, а 25 марта на сайте AbsolutePunk состоялся премьерный показ песни «Passing Through a Screen Door».
Критический приём[править | править код]
Альбом был тепло встречен музыкальными критиками. Он дебютировал на 20-й позиции в основном американском хит-параде Billboard 200, что стало наивысшим достижением группы в карьере.
Список композиций[править | править код]
Все тексты написаны Дэном Кэмпбеллом, вся музыка написана The Wonder Years.
