2年振り,待望の新譜は,いかにもXらしい超ハイスピード王道ナンバーから,70年代風R&Rやバラードまで,なんでも有りの豪華版。しかし,どの曲をとってみても,Xらしいナルシーでキャッチーな仕上がりになっているところは,サスガですね。

我这个人縂有逃避现实的毛病，因此这张CD也是许久没有聼过了，上面的灰尘几乎让一切都模糊不清。 曾经因為这张CD，我把自己的论坛取名叫Hide Their Face，而现在每次看到这个名字縂有一种莫名的感觉，很多东西变了，不可挽回的消失了。 一直认為Hide在J-Rock中是最国际化的一个，他早期的曲风中可以聼到Kiss，枪花以及Queen的影子，而最后也是摆脱了这样的模仿，形成一种类似詼谐的金属风格。和Yoshiki在古典的道路上越行越远不同，Hide始终在金属的阵营中，他最初坚持的，也是最后坚持的。 而现在谈论这些似乎有些可笑，一切都已不在了。在时间的记忆中湮没.

《Blue Blood》是X-Japan乐队于1989年4月21日发行的一张专辑，它收录第一张专辑《Vanishing Vision》的两首重录曲《Kurenai》、《Unfinished》（both with alternate/expanded lyrics），专辑风格相较Rose of Pain更偏向于交响摇滚（symphonic rock），这张专辑的不少乐曲都成为乐队的演唱会保留曲目。
这张专辑事实上是X第一张正式的CD专辑，也是首次和强大的SONY RECORDS合作而发售的首张MAJOR大碟，震撼日本乐界的Ｘ至此冲出地下，以雄壮的「Prologue」为开端开始了他们的神话。作品的作曲开始以YOSHIKI为主，另有2首HIDE的作品。X在这个时期就有了很多今后传为经典的代表歌曲，确立了X在日本音乐界难以动摇的地位。整章专辑风格偏向Metal，也能找到如「ROSE OF PAIN」这首与X风格迥异作品。虽然在作曲不如专辑「Jealousy」丰富，但此专辑自有着其它专辑无法望其背向的成就。

1971年10月發行的《Meddle》是平克佛洛伊德樂團的首張概念專輯，專輯製作期間，鍵盤手Richard Wright運用聲波頻率原理組裝，可以發出特殊聲音效果的Leslie Speaker放大器，來製作了一個近似潛水艇的聲納裝置，再利用此裝置所發出的聲波寫出一段旋律，這段旋律隨後在經過其他團員加進不同的樂器的即興彈奏，最終蛻變成《Meddle》專輯中，深獲矚目的23分鐘實驗搖滾大作〈Echoes〉。專輯中也有在歌曲末段融入利物浦足球隊，球迷現場加油團演唱，沿用自音樂劇【旋轉木馬】的隊歌〈You`ll Never Walk Alone〉的現場錄音之慢板搖滾曲〈Fearless〉，更有樂團少見的搖滾情歌小品〈A Pillow of Winds〉。

Prinzhorn Dance School are still recognisably the same spiky Brighton-based duo whose ultra-rigorous debut cut through the excess of 2008 like a scimitar through bacon fat. But with their trademark stripped-down intensity now winningly off-set by moments of unabashed tenderness, their third album Home Economics continues and even accelerates the move away from austerity and into human warmth begun by its acclaimed 2011 predecessor Clay Class. All the best six-track albums - The Fall’s Slates, Orange Juice’s Texas Fever - know exactly what they want to say and how they intend to say it. Home Economics shares that infectious sense of urgency. There’s not an inch of spare meat on it - from Reign’s snatched moment of optimism, through Battlefield’s restorative meeting of minds with an urban fox on a drunken walk home in the early hours, to Let Me Go’s concluding tribute to “a love that won’t rewind and will not be deleted”. Spindly yet sensuous, together and alone, exquisitely sad but somehow full of hope, Prinzhorn Dance School knit together disparate and even opposite fragments into an utterly satisfying whole.

今年的10月9日，将是西方人眼中的“共产主义者”，伟大的摇滚音乐家约翰·列侬(John Lennon)的65岁生日。在10月3日，一套包含38首歌曲的专辑《Working Class Hero --The Definitive Lennon》届时将要发行，纪念这位“工人阶级的英雄”。精选辑收录了列侬离开披头士乐队后所发行的个人专辑中的主打歌曲。

在这里你找不到一点不自然和矫饰之处，不过旋律可真是一点娱乐性都没有
摇滚女诗人PATTI SMITH是摇滚史上不可忽略的重要女性之一，她所倡导的车库摇滚是当今世界范围内最炙手可热的音乐类型，无论是从欧洲还是到美洲甚至澳洲都有着出色的代表，而PATTI SMITH则是70年代女性摇滚的首要代表人物。
生于1946，PATTI SMITH被称为“朋克女教母”。她25岁进入纽约曼哈顿的文学圈，早期，朗诵自己的诗作。后来，出品人建议她开口唱歌，于是一切顺理成章。多年来PATTI SMITH以她杰出的才华和不懈的精神，在摇滚乐手长长的名单上大放异彩，成为继JANIS JOPLIN之后又一位影响摇滚史的伟大白人女性。
1975年首张专辑《HORSES》（音乐界所承认与接受的第一张朋客专辑，英国刊物《New Musical Express》称赞《Horses》专辑甚至强过了the Beatles、Rolling Stones和Bob Dylan的首张专辑），成为PATTI SMITH的经典之作。诗人高雅的气质与宏大的作品结合得天衣无缝；ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE为她拍摄的一组照片，成为《HORSES》的又一大亮点——黑白颜色形成强烈对比，PATTI头发蓬乱，白衬衣+松领带+牛仔裤，神情骇俗。不可否认，这是一个典型的颓废怪旦癫狂艺术天才。
Patti Smith一直是摇滚乐领域的先锋人物。她不但是一个诗人，还是一个幻想主义者，她的音乐创作并不是笨拙的模仿，而是Keith Richards和Jim Morrison的“变异”。Patti还深受法国诗人Arthur Rimband和Charles Baudelaire的影响，这使她的作品蒙上了一层迷幻色彩。1975年的首张专辑《Horses》融合了使Patti Smith产生创作灵感的所有元素。她的演唱带有一种危险的、暗示性的成分，她的独特嗓音和个性化的风格增加了这张专辑的力度。《Horses》由于带有六十年代摇滚风格而受到新老听众的一致好评，被称为“摇滚乐的第二次复兴”。

Patti Smith，一开始她只是怀揣着摇滚乐的梦想经常出现在诗歌朗诵会上，而现在，她已经是摇滚乐历史上最著名的女性之一。她在1975年和她的乐队出版了专辑《Horses》，大多数评论家把它看作历史上第一张朋克唱片。《Horses》也确实没有辜负这个称呼，就像Patti Smith宣称的那样，“三个和弦所蕴涵的力量已经远远超过了诗歌”。从1975年开始，纽约的摇滚乐开始以一个集体性的面目出现在世界面前。

Banga is Patti Smith's first collection of original material since 2004's critically-acclaimed Trampin'. The album was recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York City and produced by Patti Smith and her band: Tony Shanahan, Jay Dee Daugherty and her long-time collaborator Lenny Kaye. Featured guests include Tom Verlaine, Jack Petruzzelli, Smith's son Jackson and daughter Jesse Paris. Inspired by Smith's unique dreams and observations, Banga's poetic lyrics are a reflection of our complex world a world that is rife with chaos and beauty. Praised for her storytelling abilities, Smith has crafted an album that captures a wide range of human experience. There is an exploratory spirit in the songs that make up Banga, including a melodic overture imagining the voyage of Amerigo Vespucci to the New World in 1497 ("Amerigo"), a rock song for the people of Japan in the wake of last years earthquake ("Fuji-san"), a classic ballad in memory of Amy Winehouse ("This Is The Girl"), an improvised meditation on art and nature ("Constantine's Dream") as well as a birthday song written for her friend Johnny Depp ("Nine"). Banga is available on CD, LP, and as a Special Edition hard cover book including 64 pages of original images, complete lyrics & liner notes by the artist plus an exclusive track, "Just Kids."

A short, sharp twelve track album of sensual, fresh, and atmospheric songs.

Rock icon and multi-instrumentalist Roger Taylor introduces his brand new solo album Outsider.
Although the drummer has released occasional solo tracks reflecting his worldview and observations - including Journey's End, Gangsters Are Running This World and most recently last year's Isolation, written and recorded in response to lockdown - Outsider represents Taylor's first album of new material since 2013's Fun On Earth.
With much of Outsider recorded during lockdown, this new album finds Taylor in a reflective mood, conveying a palpable sense of isolation, concerns over the passing of time, and perhaps tellingly dedicated "to all the outsiders, those who feel left on the sidelines".
A highly personal project, Outsider's instrumentation is almost entirely performed by Taylor, with the drummer's largely restrained vocals matching the mood-piece atmosphere. But Taylor does cut loose with the almost-punk More Kicks, along with a BIG surprise retread of a classic 1965 novelty song - exactly the fun on earth we need in these challenging times.

Pornography is the fourth studio album by English rock band the Cure, released on 4 May 1982 by the record label Fiction. Preceded by the non-album single "Charlotte Sometimes" late the previous year, Pornography was the band's first album with a new producer, Phil Thornalley, and was recorded at RAK Studios from January to April. The sessions saw the group on the brink of collapse, with heavy drug use, band in-fighting and group leader Robert Smith's depression fuelling the album's musical and lyrical content. Pornography represents the conclusion of the group's early dark, gloomy musical phase which began with Seventeen Seconds in 1980.

Aussie reissue of 2000 album includes one bonus track 'Coming Up'. Polydor. 2004.

几乎每首歌的风格都不一样是什么概念？？凭借这套双张专集，枪炮与玫瑰达到了乐队的颠峰时期。同时开始的与专集同名的世界巡回演出历时三年，也是当时一项记录。制作时间将近三年，锻造出乐队最具代表性的巅峰之作，1991 年的《Use Your Illusion I》和《Use Your Illusion II》让世界重新认识 Guns N' Roses。鼓手 Steven Adler 的离队与新鼓手 Matt Sorum、键盘手 Dizzy Reed 的加入，乐队成员之间音乐理念的剧烈冲突，主创 Axl Rose 和 Slash 起伏不定的精神状况，种种合力之下，仿佛形成一枚华丽的三棱镜，折射出光怪陆离的乐思。Guns N' Roses 在成员的灵感碰撞中开拓乐风疆域，在这张专辑里用多变的曲风告诉我们摇滚不仅仅是愤世嫉俗的呐喊，也有嘶哑的柔情与内心深处的悲伤：颇具悲壮美《November Rain》宛如一部气势磅礴的史诗，慢版抒情经典《Don’t Cry》则收起激愤，用如泣如诉的歌声唱出温柔深情。聆听专辑，感受枪炮与玫瑰交织在一起的铁血柔情。
