Out of Time 豆瓣
8.1 (27 个评分) R.E.M. 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 1991年1月1日 出版发行: Warner Bros.
一支古老的乐队,一张复古的专辑
这是一张风格多变的专辑,但是相信你即使第一次听它也会感觉到它的音乐那过时的味道,单调的吉他,简单的节奏,但是如果这样理解这个乐队就有点狭隘了,他们的音乐永远都是富有知识分子气质的,文雅的摇滚着。虽然古老,但是只有真正喜欢他们,喜欢这种感觉的人才能体会这张专辑的价值,也许就和它的名字一样,Out Of Time

被切割的眼球、文身的乳头、美人鱼、妓女和冲向厕所的圣经人物--这就是波士顿四人组合“小妖精”第二张专辑《都立特》中的一些精彩画面。布莱克.弗朗西斯(Black Francis)的超现实品位为乐队带来了诡异的深度,但他们的音乐在今天更能引起共鸣。简单来说《都立特》继承了80年代美国地下凶狠的硬核并使之发扬光大。当柯特.科本承认《少年心气》(Smells Like Teen Spirit)中完美的动静结合是照搬“小妖精”时,他只是证实了忠实歌迷已经知道的事。如今,《都立特》听起来像一张终极的另类摇滚唱片:重吉他噪音、朋克速度、冲浪摇滚、冲天的圣歌、暗示抗争污秽与异类的歌词,以及布莱克.弗朗西斯的超自然嚎叫。意料之中,却证明了无法战胜。在接下来的两张专辑后,贝司手奇姆.迪尔(Kim Deal)创建了“饲养员”(The Breeders)。布莱克.弗朗西斯把名字换成了弗朗克.布莱克(Frank Black),生产了数张失水准的个人专辑。鼓手戴夫.洛弗(Dave Lovering)则成为了一个魔术师。

8.2 (13 个评分) Porcupine Tree 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2005年1月1日 出版发行: Lava
Porcupine Tree defies categorization. This unique London-based quartet make unconventional, uncompromising music that qualifies them as Europe's premiere art-rock cult band. Porcupine Tree's cogent musical personality is a force to be reckoned with. Porcupine Tree's intelligent and accessible sound will appeal not only to metal enthusiasts and twenty-something dark wave fans, but will also fit in with today's more adventurous alternative station playlists.
Grace 豆瓣
8.9 (77 个评分) Jeff Buckley 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 1994年1月1日 出版发行: Sony
Jeff Buckley was many things, but humble wasn't one of them. Grace is an audacious debut album, filled with sweeping choruses, bombastic arrangements, searching lyrics, and above all, the richly textured voice of Buckley himself, which resembled a cross between Robert Plant, Van Morrison, and his father Tim. And that's a fair starting point for his music: Grace sounds like a Led Zeppelin album written by an ambitious folkie with a fondness for lounge jazz. At his best -- the soaring title track, "Last Goodbye," and the mournful "Lover, You Should've Come Over" -- Buckley's grasp met his reach with startling results; at its worst, Grace is merely promising.
