在专辑的制作方面,The Strokes仍和包办了前两张专辑的老搭档Gordon Raphael继续合作,顺理成章的就是,The Strokes在音乐上不仅再次延续了之前的复古曲风,而且更是将乐队擅长做的旋律华的精彩的Riff发挥得淋漓尽致。无论是开篇曲目《You Only Live Once》,还是打榜单曲《Juicebox》,或是《Razor Blade》,The Strokes标志性的Riff都贯穿始终,而创作核心Julian Casablancas也再次包办了其中大多数的歌曲。

Daisies of the Galaxy 豆瓣
7.6 (23 个评分) Eels 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2000年2月28日 出版发行: DreamWorks
EELS 是一支美国非主流乐队,Mark&nbspEverett 是乐队的核心和主唱。他们坚持着独立的音乐立场,不管多大的公司找他写歌或者代言推销产品,都统统不甩。但出于对一些人的艺术理想的认同,他们也创作电影音乐,比如“美国美人”、“怪兽史莱克”等。他们还获得过几个大奖,比如 99年mtv最佳录影带大奖。但是他认为奖项对他并没有什么意义,如果说用处,就是奖品作了鼓架的支撑物。
Mark& nbspEverett的父亲Hugh&nbspEverett是世界著名的科学家,提出了平行空间的多世界理论(many& nbspworlds&nbsptheory),但Mark&nbspEverett可能没有遗传到这些,他的成绩很糟糕。 Everett的少年时期充满了不辛,父亲患心脏病,母亲患癌症,姐姐自杀,使得他经常处于压抑消沉的心境。
就这样Mark& nbspEverett和大多数的青年一样,痛苦而恣肆的成长,把自己放纵在狂欢与毒品之中。在1996年的专辑《Beautiful& nbspFreak》和1998年的专辑《Electro-Shock&nbspBlues》里,他的这种心境袒露无疑。他深陷苦恼,把这苦恼的矛头对准世界也对着自己,乐曲显得寒冷而诡异。
所有的青年都会长大,就象所有的春天最后都会落到地上一样。在他们2000年的第三张专辑《Daisies&nbspof&nbspthe&nbspGalaxy》里乐风已经有了一些变化,虽然以前的蚀骨阴冷还在,但他们拾起了黑色幽默这个武 器(其实从封套上就可以感觉到),他们用有趣来消解颓废和阴冷,他们的音乐中开始出现欢快的旋律,Mark& nbspEverett的心境已经开始变化。他们成功了,EELS保留了自己的思考着怀疑着的脑袋,但同时又有趣地活着,做着有趣的音乐。
Lazer Guided Melodies 豆瓣
8.0 (31 个评分) Spiritualized 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 1992年5月22日 出版发行: Dedicated
The group's seminal debut album is aptly titled: The melodies shimmer and drone and hum like otherworldly pop tunes, and Radley and Pierce's vocals hover gently in the mix. One of the premier dream pop albums, Lazer Guided Melodies is both beautiful and innovative.
