Death And All His Friends 豆瓣
8.8 (587 个评分) Coldplay 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2008年6月17日 出版发行: Capitol
专辑的名字来自一位墨西哥艺术家Frida Kahlo给自己的一幅画的命名。
在这张专辑制作的早期,三名乐队成员各自把对新专辑的想法都写在一张白板上,每一个人的想法都很激进前卫,最后,Chris Martin收回了他的看法。他希望以后有机会再游说他们。"我听到波诺曾经说过一句话,'乐队不应该为钱而分裂,他们应该只为了歌曲名单而分裂,'”他说,在这一点上,没有什么比这更有针对性了。”
乐队聘请了传奇制片人Brian Eno做他们第4张专辑的制作人。并且,他们有针对性地试图排除一切外来影响。吉他手Johnny Buckland说: "我们感觉自己的头三张专辑是一个三部曲,我们已经完成了。因此,我们想要做一些不同的。" 乐队让记者听了一下他们正在制作的歌曲小样,大多数听起来令人耳目一新, 完全不同于他们以往的热门歌曲“Clocks”和“Speed Of Sound”。
好几首歌相当粗糙靠近边缘,伴随着扭曲的吉他和更加突出的敲击。歌词是暗色调的,反复出现了死亡和孤独的主题。其中有几首歌,Martin延长他的声带调色板,其表现大大超出了人们对他以往运用假声的理解,其音色低沉,性感,给人的感觉更个人,更真实。"不管这样好还是不好,我们已经开始在音乐里融入更多的色彩。”Martin说。 "取悦每一个人是不可能做到的,我们经历了这么长时间才体会到这一点。这样说让人觉得自由——可能没有一个人喜欢我们做的这些东西,但我们此时此刻就是想这样做,而且要把它做完为止。”
在新专辑里,乐队探索了各种声波的方向,其中一些来自制作人呢Brain Eno的启发和鼓励。"他不主观臆断,做出来的东西令人耳目一新。”Matin说。Buckland补充说, "他不仅仅是带来声音或其他东西,他带来了对一切事情的想法,甚至具体到,怎样构筑我们渡过的这一天。他的建议让我们停下来,仔细考虑很多问题。”
Grown-Ups 豆瓣
8.0 (5 个评分) The Lodger 类型: 流行
发布日期 2007年6月12日 出版发行: Slumberland Records
On the heels of the successes of bands like The Kaiser Chiefs and The Arctic Monkeys, the north of England is fairly bursting with exciting guitar pop bands, and The Lodger are amongst the brightest hopes. Taking their cues from fellow northerners The Smiths and The Wedding Present, The Lodger's music is classic melodic pop, fueled by sparkling hooks and plangent lyrics. The tunes are sharp and timeless, a thoroughly modern distillation of great Britpop from the 60s right up to today. "Grown-Ups" is a perfect introduction to the thrilling pop charms of The Lodger.

Four EP - Wide Open Space 豆瓣
Mansun
发布日期 1996年11月1日 出版发行: Parlophone
Considered by some to be the best Mansun song, (and there is even more evidence for this when it is performed live), Wide Open Space helped Four EP to shoot upto number 15 in the charts in it's first week of release. The song later got used as a baseball anthem and (the perfecto remix) a club hit.

8.1 (16 个评分) Thirteen Senses 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2007年1月1日 出版发行: Vertigo Records
(转自花边kisssdarling)乐队的第二张专辑,明年初发行。专辑的制作人是著名的Danton Supple,这也是Coldplay“X&Y”的制作人,同时也制作过Starsailor、Doves和Liam Frost等乐队的专辑。不难发觉该乐队越来越像Coldplay和Radiohead了;不过既没有Chris般致命的靓嗓,也没有Thom的迷幻气息,有些歌曲个人还嫌过吵。还是希望该乐队仍保持第一张专辑中纯净柔美的感觉,不过相信这张专辑还是会受到不少英伦迷的推崇的。
