''Chairs Missing'' is the second studio album by English rock band Wire. It was released in August 1978. The album peaked at N°48 in the Uk albums chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Wire (Albums) )〕 Although it features some of the minimalist punk rock of the band's debut ''Pink Flag'', it features more developed song structure (taking some cues from '70s prog-rock, psychedelia, and art rock), keyboard and synthesizer elements brought in by producer Mike Thorne, and a broader palette of emotional and intellectual subject matter. The title is said to be a British slang term for a mildly disturbed person, as in "that guy has a few chairs missing in his front room".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wire )〕 The single "Outdoor Miner" was a minor hit, peaking at number 51 in the UK singles chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Wire (Singles) )〕 In 2004 the US record label Words-on-Music released ''A Houseguest's Wish'', a CD tribute album to the band consisting solely of 19 different versions of the ''Chairs Missing'' track "Outdoor Miner". == Critical reception == In their retrospective review, Allmusic gave the album five stars out of five and wrote "The arty darkness of ''Chairs Missing'', combined with the often icy-sounding synth/guitar arrangements, helps make the record a crucial landmark in the evolution of punk into post-punk and goth, as well as a testament to Wire's rapid development and inventiveness."〔 BBC Music called the album a "glorious avant-pop coup" and (referring to the 2006 edition of the album) "the most satisfying of the three reissues (others being ''Pink Flag'' and ''154'' )."〔 Pitchfork Media listed ''Chairs Missing'' as 33rd best album of the 1970s. ''NME'' listed the album as the 394th greatest album of all time.〔http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/nme_500_greatest_albums_2013.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chairs Missing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
