Slipknot is the self titled debut studio album by American heavy metal band Slipknot. It was released on 29 June 1999 through Roadrunner Records, following a demo containing a few of the songs which had been released in 1998, and was reissued in December 1999 with a slightly altered track listing and mastering as the result of a lawsuit. It was the first release by the band to be produced by Ross Robinson, who sought to refine Slipknot's sound rather than alter the group's musical direction.
The album spans several genres, but is generally noted for its extensive percussion and overall heavy sound. It was well received by fans and critics alike and was responsible for bringing Slipknot a large increase in popularity. The album peaked at number 51 on the Billboard 200, and has gone on to become certified double platinum in the United States, making it the band's best selling album. It was voted the best debut album of the last 25 years by readers of Metal Hammer magazine

Alexandre Desplat 为 2011 年电影《哈利波特与死亡圣器（下）》创作的配乐。
作为哈利波特系列电影的最后一部，Desplat 为这部“It All Ends Here”的电影谱写的配乐着实是可以比肩此系列最初的 John Williams 作品的大作，为哈利波特电影配乐谱上了一曲动人的末章。（罗伊）

大絶賛を浴びた前作「風の谷のナウシカ」から2年,宮崎駿の原作・脚本・監督による話題のアニメ作品「天空の城ラピュタ」がついに完成。久石譲の音楽は前作同様だが今回はぐっと明るく楽しい曲が多くハツラツとした少年少女の夢と冒険のドラマを謳う。

The Weepies，一只由Deb Talan和Steve Tannen组成的流行民谣二重奏。两人初次相遇是在Tannen的波士顿音乐会上。在此之前，两人都已各自发表过自己的作品（Deb Talan发行过3张，Steve Tannen发行过2张）。二人相互钦佩，很快就一起开始了创作歌曲，并且Weepies很快诞生了。2004年，他们独立发布了8只歌的EP“Happiness”，并且在二年后签约Nettwerk厂牌。2005年12月，The Weepies在此厂牌录制完成全新专辑“Say I Am You”，并于2006年3月正式发行。
The Weepies乐队的特点是旋律简单，音乐流畅，人声舒服，清新自然。有女生独唱且有男声独唱，亦有男女声混唱，美丽却不张扬。淡淡的感觉带着简洁和清新的味道，细腻的吉他，抒情的歌词，非常值得品味。
