(What's The Story) Morning Glory? 豆瓣
9.3 (291 个评分) Oasis 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 1995年1月1日 出版发行: Creation
《(What's the Story) Morning Glory?》(参考译名:晨光荣耀)是英国摇滚乐队绿洲乐队的第二张录音室专辑,由创造唱片发行于1995年10月2日。制作人为欧文·莫里斯和乐队吉他手诺尔·盖勒格。这是鼓手艾伦·怀特参与的首张乐队专辑。该专辑的结构和编曲风格与前作《Definitely Maybe》大相径庭,诺尔·盖勒格的创作重心转移到谣曲上,强调“宏大”的副歌,加上弦乐编曲和更多样化的器乐部分,与首张专辑的粗砺感形成了对比。
这张专辑使绿洲乐队从一支跨界独立乐队转变为红遍全球的现象级摇滚团体。乐评人认为它在英国独立音乐史上占有重要地位[1]。该专辑在发行首周内售出创纪录的347,000张,在英国专辑排行榜的榜首位置停留了10周,并在美国公告牌二百强专辑榜上达到第4位,是乐队商业上最成功的专辑。其中的单曲也取得了成功:《Some Might Say》和《Don't Look Back in Anger》在英国登顶;《Champagne Supernova》和《Wonderwall》在美国的现代摇滚歌曲排行榜上登顶;《Wonderwall》在澳大利亚和新西兰的单曲榜上登顶[2]。
虽然该专辑取得了轰动一时的商业佳绩,但主流乐评对其反应平淡。许多当时的乐评人认为它劣于《Definitely Maybe》,尤其批评它的创作和制作。然而,在接下来的几年中,评论界的看法扭转了。它如今被普遍认为是英伦摇滚年代及整个1990年代中影响深远的专辑。对其最著名的现场演绎是当年8月在科内博斯厅举办的两场演唱会,共吸引了250,000名听众。该专辑在1996年的全英音乐奖上赢得了最佳英国专辑奖。
2010年的全英音乐奖认为《(What's the Story) Morning Glory?》是自1980年代以来最伟大的英国专辑[3]。截至2015年,它的全球销量约为2200万张,被收录进数个最伟大的摇滚专辑榜单。

GORILLAZ DEMON DAYS 收录苹果ipod全新广告曲Feel Good Inc
由Blur主唱Damon Albarn为主并隐身幕后代言沉寂三年
史上最强虚拟乐团街头顽童全新专辑

《等待黎明Demon Days》是一张带有英国风味的嘻哈唱片,Gorillaz保持了对旋律的忠诚和带着文艺气的傲慢。它把嘻哈与福音、朋克、后摇滚、地下电子以及另类流行串联起来,交织出Oasis的固执己见、Blur的直率癫狂、LinkinPark的气势汹汹,甚至还有BeeGees的得意洋洋。首推单曲《Feelgoodinc》以著名嘻哈歌手DeLaSoul的狂笑开场,充满了派对式的快乐;《Everyplanetwereachisdead》夹杂着布鲁斯的哀怨,爵士钢琴声散落其间,令人想起嬉皮士的茫然;《Allalone》中隆隆的Techno电子节拍,配上说唱更是张牙舞爪;HappyMondays主唱ShaunRyder在《Dare》中挎刀相助,69岁老影星DennisHopper的念诵则成为专辑中最让人意外的声音。
Parachutes 豆瓣
9.2 (377 个评分) Coldplay 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2000年7月10日 出版发行: EMI
自2000年盛夏,一首满载少年浪漫情愫的情歌《Yellow》登上英国单曲排行第4名,红遍全英大街小巷开始;随后《Parachutes(降落伞)》专辑旋即空降英国金榜冠军宝座,98年正式成军于伦敦校园的Coldplay(酷玩乐团)已平地震雷一声响地迅速在全球乐坛窜起。
《Parachutes》是Coldplay在利物浦的Parr Street Studio录音室,与曾为Gomez、Badly drawn boy作嫁的Ken Nelson共同制作。纯净、美丽的中、慢板旋律加上主唱Chris Martin神似Thom Yorke(Radiohesd主唱)轻柔却极具戏剧张力的淳美歌声,10首慢流一致浪漫、迷美情绪的歌谣。
“Shiver”是一首绚烂美丽,关于单恋的故事的歌曲,令人感到颤栗的歌曲名称;以澎湃汹涌的吉他反复乐节,加上Chrir戏剧性嗓音,简单手法表现的畅销单曲“Yellow”;年少轻狂的“Spies”,伴随着彷复来自天堂的中八度圣音;赤裸,贝斯乐声轻抚的民谣“Sparks”简单、有力的生活宣言;“Trouble”以惊人、独特的轻柔钢琴尾曲开场,紧接着Jon和谐的吉他切入,瞬间整首歌曲彷复飞了起来;专辑最后一曲“Everything's Not Lost”结尾部分的低声吟唱,充满了轻柔爵士味,是酷玩乐团Coldplay自信展现实力的进一步证明。
聆听《Parachutes》像感受一次美丽,但又寂寞的坠落;一段远离每日烦嚣,但又可以更清楚观看的经验。

发布日期 1994年8月30日 出版发行: Sony
Definitely Maybe于1994年由Sony公司发行,其中多首出现在他们发行前一年同The Real People乐队的Chris和Tony Griffiths一起录制的Live Demonstration demo中。正式发行版本的歌曲要比较长,他们与 Mark Coyle 一起录制3遍,直到Owen Morris 出现并混音制作到大家满意为止。整张专集总共花费8万5千英镑在制作上,在当时是相当大的投资。这张专辑的销售量也非常好,受到了很多听众的欣赏和好评。

Kid A 豆瓣
9.2 (233 个评分) Radiohead 类型: 电子
发布日期 2000年1月1日 出版发行: Capitol
乐队在2000 年推出了一张最受期待的大碟《Kid A》。自从 Radiohead 的《OK Computer》被誉为“宇宙最佳大碟”之后,Radiohead已经成为The Beatles最具威胁乐队,这新碟真是全球瞩目。
不过《 Kid A 》大概会令不少 Radiohead 迷感到意外,因为全碟跟Radiohead以往的风格非常不同! 以往的强劲电吉他弹奏已荡然无全,就连打几下重鼓都没有,换来大量飘渺迷离气氛。Atmospheric 、Ambience 、Nightmarish、Moody、Sparse…… ...

The King of Limbs 豆瓣
7.7 (101 个评分) Radiohead 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2011年2月19日 出版发行: XL Recordings
The King of Limbs is the eighth studio album by English alternative rock band Radiohead, produced by Nigel Godrich. It will be released on 19 February 2011 as a download in MP3 and WAV formats, followed by a physical CD release in the UK on 28 March [1] and a special "newspaper" edition on 9 May 2011.[2] The "newspaper" edition will contain "two clear 10-inch vinyl records in a purpose-built record sleeve, many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork, a compact disc, and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradable plastic to hold it all together".[3]
The album was announced on Radiohead's website on 14 February 2011, five days before release.[4] The name of the album possibly refers to an oak tree in Wiltshire's Savernake Forest, thought to be 1,000 years old.[4] The tree is a pollarded oak, referring to an ancient technique for harvesting timber for fencing and firewood. Though it does not feature on maps, the tree is said to be 3 miles (4.8 km) from Tottenham Court House, where Radiohead recorded part of their previous album In Rainbows.[5]
Without You I'm Nothing 豆瓣
8.7 (104 个评分) Placebo 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 1998年1月1日 出版发行: Virgin Records
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。
Battle for the Sun 豆瓣
8.0 (9 个评分) Placebo
发布日期 2009年6月9日 出版发行: Vagrant Records
2009 release, the sixth studio album from the British Alt-Rock trio. With a 13 year history that takes in five studio albums, 10 million album sales, breakdowns, clean ups and the dizzy swell of global success, Placebo return with their first album since the release of Meds in 2006. Battle For The Sun was recorded over three months by producer Dave Bottrill (chosen by the band largely because of his work with Tool) in his Toronto studio and mixed in London by Alan Moulder. Battle For The Sun is a startling, alive, vital and boundary-vaulting record that marks a whole new era for a band that were in need of a change.
