''Congratulations I'm Sorry'' (typeset as ''Congratulations...I'm Sorry'') is the third studio album by the American pop rock band Gin Blossoms, and the follow-up album to the successful 1992 release ''New Miserable Experience'', released in 1996 by A&M records. The album was named in reference to the success of 1992's ''New Miserable Experience'', followed so closely by the suicide of the former band member Doug Hopkins in 1993. Reaction to ''Congratulations I'm Sorry'' was mixed, with some critics feeling that the music lay too close to the sound of the previous album. One common complaint was that most versions of the album lacked the successful 1995 single "Til I Hear It From You", from the ''Empire Records'' soundtrack; however, some editions of the album did contain the track as its final. The album's title, according to the lead singer Robin Wilson, came from the response band members usually received from people who both wanted to congratulate the band for the success of ''New Miserable Experience'', while then offering apologies for their friend and former band member Doug Hopkins. The album eventually reached platinum status. == Track listing == # "Day Job" (Scott Johnson, Bill Leen, Phillip Rhodes, Jesse Valenzuela, Robin Wilson) – 3:51 # "Highwire" (Wilson) – 2:24 # "Follow You Down" (Johnson, Leen, Rhodes, Valenzuela, Wilson) – 4:30 # "Not Only Numb" (Rhodes, Wilson) – 3:06 # "As Long as It Matters" (Rhodes, Valenzuela, Wilson) – 4:31 # "Perfectly Still" (Johnson, Leen) – 4:05 # "7th Inning Stretch" – 0:14 # "My Car" (Valenzuela) – 4:17 # "Virginia" (Valenzuela) – 4:02 # "Whitewash" (Leen, Wilson) – 3:19 # "I Can't Figure You Out" (Valenzuela) – 3:18 # "Memphis Time" (Johnson, Valenzuela) – 3:14 # "Competition Smile" (Rhodes, Wilson) – 4:47 # "Til I Hear It from You" (bonus track) (Valenzuela, Wilson, Marshall Crenshaw) – 3:47 There is a hidden track following "Til I Hear It from You". 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「Congratulations I'm Sorry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
