''Songs For The Terrestrially Challenged'' is the second album from The(e) Speaking Canaries, a Pittsburgh-based indie rock band. ''Songs For The Terrestrially Challenged'' is the first Speaking Canaries album to be released on compact disc, and the first to see worldwide distribution; therefore, it has often been erroneously attributed as The(e) Speaking Canaries' debut album. (''The Joy of Wine'', the band's actual debut, was a vinyl-only release on a small label and was limited to five hundred copies.) Nevertheless, ''Songs For The Terrestrially Challenged'' set a number of precedents for which the group would eventually become notorious: long songs, a long total running time, and multiple released versions of the same album. ''Songs For The Terrestrially Challenged'' is probably best known for including not one but two Van Halen covers: "Girl Gone Bad" and "Secrets" -- a bold move for a band in an indie scene in which giving credit to spandex-clad arena rockers is generally frowned upon. (What's more, "Summer's Empty Resolution", a harmonics-drenched solo for acoustic guitar, is vaguely reminiscent of Eddie Van Halen's "Spanish Fly".) ==Track listing== #"Houses and Houses of Perfectness" – 4:52 #"Summer's Empty Resolution" – 1:37 #"Terrestrial / Famous No Space" – 8:10 #"Guitar Strings for a Holocaust" – 3:53 #"Hall Of Force / Gone Bad / So Glad / Reprise" – 9:20 #""Little" Ice Queen" – 6:35 #"Super Hit" – 2:38 #"El Rancho" – 6:08 #"Any Three Days" – 12:57 #"Secrets" – 2:55 #"Our War On Cool Pt. 2" – 3:59 #"When Cats Fight / Let Loose of Me" – 4:55 #"De-Effect / Diminished" – 6:40 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「Songs for the Terrestrially Challenged」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
