''Lasers and Feelings'' is the second album from the nerd-folk duo The Doubleclicks, released on July 9, 2013. The album debuted at #7 on Billboard's Comedy Albums chart for the week ending July 27, 2013. The most important track of the album is the feminist "Nothing To Prove". == Songs == "Nothing to Prove", a response to the misogynistic "fake geek girl" concept within geek culture, is the most important of the tracks on the album.〔 "Lasers and Feelings", "The Mystery's Gone" and "Oh, Mr. Darcy" are about relationships. "Lasers and Feelings" is a love song to a supervillain with a "ska-style upbeat rhythm that underpins a clever lyrical turn"〔 "The Mystery's Gone", a "jazzy rock number",〔 is about a Twitter romance that came to a disappointing end when the couple meet in real life. "Oh, Mr. Darcy" is from the duo's earlier ''Chainmail and Cello'' album, covering mixed feelings about Colin Firth in the 1980 BBC adaptation of ''Pride and Prejudice'' and a bad relationship in Angela's past. "Can't You See The World Is Ending" shares the themes of procrastination with "Something Else" and bad relationships with "Oh, Mr. Darcy". Aubrey sings on "Something Else" and "Christmas Ain't About Me." She is described as a "post-modern chanteuse" on the former, while the latter is an "easy-to-swallow tango form".〔 (The latter is a reworking of the title song of the EP of the same name, with an entirely different tune.) "The Guy Who Yelled Freebird" is a comedic song about "rock's oldest joke" of requesting Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" regardless of performer or style. "Rock Star Life", a "intoxicating blend of Dixieland and country-rock",〔 is similarly referencing life in a band; in this case the hardships of touring. "Impostor" is a new version of a Song Fu entry from January 2012. The song is a "positively haunting"〔 tribute to NASA's ''Curiosity'' Mars rover and the topic of self-esteem issues, which will "ruin your day. Or to speed up the invention of a method to send hugs through intrastellar radio wave transmissions." 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「Lasers and Feelings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
