Ari Roar
Made to Never Use
AllMusic が80点相当。
貼り付けの曲などは、ストロークスを若干POPにしたようなアレンジ。
海外まとめ系のユーザー評価が過去作でもわりと低いが、
今作でも同じ傾向。
ただ、今作と趣は若干違うが
過去作もなかなか良い。
インディー系かつおもちゃ系ポップが好きな方には
しっくりくるかも。

Following two short and bittersweet, tightly constructed indie pop gems for the Bella Union label in the late 2010s, Ari Roar re-emerges in 2022 with the self-released Made to Never Use. The sometimes-collaborative solo project of Texas singer/songwriter Caleb Campbell, Roar's songs have always featured psychedelic undertones alongside bouncy rhythms, hooky melodies, and contemplative, unassuming vocals. Here, however, he expands the use of complex harmonic progressions and shifting time signatures -- all without missing a figurative beat when it comes to catchiness. The opening title track sets the stage by putting an irrepressible spring in one's step out of the gate, with jangly, galloping rhythm guitar, ringing countermelodies, and animated bass accompanying its ever-hapless protagonist ("Made a fuss/Whispered 'It's not much'…Stay alone/Every time I go").
