布勒合唱團是英國另類搖滾樂團，1989年成立於倫敦，原名Seymour，由主唱戴蒙·亞邦、吉他手葛拉罕·卡克森、貝斯手艾力克斯·詹姆士和鼓手戴夫·朗崔組成。

Good things come to those who wait: and so, in 2019, Liam Gallagher returns with a documentary film As It Was, a Glastonbury performance, and, most importantly, a second solo album called Why Me? Why Not looming on the horizon. It looks like the rest of 2019 will be a bonanza for fans of the one-time Oasis singer. One man is very happy about that. “I’m buzzing,” says Liam. “Buzzing to be alive, buzzing to be making tunes, raring to go. It’s nice to be back with some new music because it means I can get out there, play some gigs and give some people some stick because that is what I do. Let’s face it, it’s boring without me.”

毫无疑问他们是顶着The Man Who成功的巨大压力在做这一张专辑的.很休闲的他们却不会被这种压力打败.他们总是可以将节奏拿捏得很好,天性使然.The Invisible Band是很干净的一张专辑,听上去让我感到像流水一般纯净.吉他更显眼,例如Side, Flowers In The Window, Follow The Light和Afterglow.旋律化和流行化的The Invisible Band是对自我的超越.如果说The Man Who的意义重大的话,那么这一张则更像是音乐的表现.Fran总是用讲故事般的亲切语气在歌唱,又有让人心疼的声音.整张专辑都很好听,不亚于The Man Who,而Travis的悄悄变化也让人们看到了他们的成熟.

经过第一张同名专辑后，Placebo延续90年代另类摇滚的传奇（Smashing Pumpkins等前辈），获得了乐迷的肯定。在这第二张专辑《Without You I'm Nothing》中，他们混合了70年代的两个风潮：Glam Rock和Punk。Stefan Olsdal的贝斯和Steve Hewitt的鼓为Placebo制造了紧迫而具张力的节奏部分。当然乐队的焦点依然是宛如雌雄同体的歌手兼吉他手Brian Molko。当然从声音上辨认，我们依然可以听到很传统的另类摇滚风格。因此Brian Molko更多的魅力是来自音乐以外。或者在现场，他会展现更多的魅力。毕竟，摇滚音乐的魅力依然是集中在现场上的。
不要以为， Brian Molko是虚有其表的绣花枕头。第一张专辑的全部作品都是出自他手；而新专辑中他也依然负责全部的歌词写作。专辑作品以典型的另类摇滚快歌为主。开场篇 Pure Morning是一首自我宣言式的歌曲。Celebration of Friendship with Women》则注定是一首优秀的单曲作品。Brick Shithouse合并了90年代的电子摇滚风格和Sonic Youth式的Punk吉他。You Don't Care About Us让人重拾80年代的吉他流行曲感觉。在包容了大量的风格之下，《Without You I'm Nothing》必定可以获得广大乐迷的欢迎。
