8.7 (42 个评分) The Smiths 类型: 流行
发布日期 1987年9月22日 出版发行: Warner Bros / Wea / © 1987 Warner Music UK Ltd
Strangeways, Here We Come is the fourth and final studio album by English rock band the Smiths.

Slant Magazine listed the album at No. 69 on its list of "Best Albums of the 1980s", writing that "Whether or not Strangeways, Here We Come ended the Smiths' brief career with their best album has been the subject of considerable debate for nearly a quarter century, but it definitively stands as the band's most lush, richest work."

发布日期 1985年1月1日 出版发行: Sire Records
The Smiths were an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1982. Consisting of vocalist Morrissey, guitarist Johnny Marr, bassist Andy Rourke, and drummer Mike Joyce, critics consider the band one of the most important to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980s.
The Queen Is Dead 豆瓣
9.2 (181 个评分) The Smiths 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 1986年6月16日 出版发行: Rough Trade
这早已是一张公认的经典之作,如果说《the queen is dead》是有史以来最伟大的摇滚专辑还略微有点勉强的话,那它也一定是上世纪80年代最出色的音乐专辑。第一首专辑同名歌曲结尾的近三分钟的吉他独奏,紧张快速却又极富旋律感,Johnny Marr的吉他天赋在这展现的淋漓尽致。第二首《Frankly, Mr. Shankly》虽然旋律简单,却百听不厌,Morrissey的嗓音温暖亲切,似乎是一位大哥在向你绘声绘色的讲他的经历。《There is a light that never goes out》无疑是乐队最有名的单曲,歌曲的亮点依然是结尾那略带欢快的节奏旋律和悲伤的唱调,似乎史密斯早已看透了世俗,一番无奈的感慨和宣泄。
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第216位

一样是迷人的音韵,一样是动人的心弦——Kent回来了!两年时间辗转瑞典、纽约、柏林三地,在三个不同的录音室完成了第八张全长专辑,苦心颇费,但不负众望!电子味较以往要浓厚得多,却丝毫不影响质量,相反令人不禁“洗耳恭听”、刮目相看,虽用瑞典母语演唱,但是标准的英伦,绝对会让你沉迷、品味其中,强烈推荐!

《The Resistance》录制于意大利的科莫湖和米兰市。作为Muse乐队第五张正式录音棚专辑,它距离乐队上一张专辑《Black Holes And Revelations》的发行已经时隔三年之久。在这次备受期待的新专辑里,乐队主唱Matt Bellamy(马特-贝拉米)为了强调作品的概念,他还亲自编写了一部分为三段的交响乐《Exogenesis》。由于他并非弦乐编写专业出身,此次交响乐的编写花费了它大量的时间和精力。

The Circus 豆瓣
8.4 (15 个评分) Take That 类型: 流行
发布日期 2008年12月1日 出版发行: Polygram UK
Take That带着全新的音乐大碟又回到了我们身边,这支男子组合是英国自60年代以来最红的10支流行音乐乐队之一,他们在90年代的头5年几乎统治了英国音乐排行榜,风头无人可及。乐队重组后首支单曲在英国流行音乐单曲榜中升至榜首,首张正式专辑《Beautiful World》也成为英国流行音乐专辑榜中的空降冠军,而现在他们的新专辑《The Circus》也已经隆重推出,巧合的是,这张专辑不仅和布兰妮·斯皮尔斯(Britney Spears)的新专辑名字相同,而且都在同一天发行。
专辑的第一首单曲《The Garden》长达5分多种,而且随着歌曲的不断演奏音乐声在不断加大。最先是一段轻柔的钢琴曲,还有马克·欧文(Mark Owen)纤细的歌声,然后就能听见其它各种乐器的伴奏声,弦乐、鼓、小号、吉他都融入了混合乐中,直到最后音乐声愈来愈强,响起那句如同赞美诗般的歌词“这就是我们所得到的生活,所以敞开心扉,好好生活吧!”这是一首励志的歌曲,也许这也是他们在两年前重组的原因吧。
专辑中的第二首歌曲《Greatest Day》明显是延续了上张专辑《Beautiful World》的曲风,对于一直追捧Take That的歌迷来说自然对它是钟爱有佳。而且这首流行曲无论是从编曲还是唱腔上都比以前要复杂多变,有明显的进步。乐队成员表示这张专辑的灵感是来自于乐队即将举行的巡演,“一直以来我们都觉得我们已经为结束演出写好了很棒的歌,但是,我们想为开始演出写些东西。这就是《Greatest Day》这首单曲背后我们真正的想法。”
另一方面,这张专辑上乐队实在是竭尽所能展现曲风的多样。《Said It All》完全就是一首有点悲情摇滚的流行曲,有点像雪地巡游者(Snow Patrol)新专辑的风格。而在歌曲《Up All Night》中,最先抓住你的还是马克·欧文的声音,一开始先听见的是一段吉他弹奏,随后渐渐有其它的乐器加入其中。如果我们非要将整个专辑中的歌曲来评比一下的话,我觉得这会是最好的一首,而其它的歌曲,如《Julie 》、《What Is Love 》等也没有什么太大的瑕疵,如果你是Take That的歌迷的话,你是不会对这张专辑感到失望的。

08曼城浪潮复苏重磅专辑之一
Ninth album from the cult Mancunian indie rockers follows their 2007 reformation and is their first new studio release since 2001's 'Pleased To Meet You'. The album was produced by Lee "Muddy" Baker (Chungking, Mo Solid Gold, James's Tim Booth) and recorded at Warsy Chateau in northern France, where Baker allowed the band to jam and improvise at will. The result is a set of coruscating pop-rock featuring Booth's trademark erudite lyrics that is already being hailed as the best thing they have done to date.
Wilderness 豆瓣
7.8 (32 个评分) Brett Anderson 类型: 民谣
发布日期 2008年7月7日 出版发行: Drowned in Sound UK
2008 sophomore solo album from the former lead singer of Suede and The Tears. Recorded and mixed in seven days and featuring only voice, strings and piano, Wilderness heralds an amazing new chapter in his life. Throughout his career it would be fair to say that Brett Anderson has never done anything by halves. At strategic points he has performed such a volte- face with his music that it has sometimes been hard for fans and critics to know what he is going to do next. This record is no exception, and is the most astounding record Brett has made in his entire career. Wilderness may well be the most haunting record you will hear all year. Detailing a love affair, the record displays all the heightened emotions of love and thus is joyous, bleak, euphoric, and reflective - and very beautiful. It's a record that is intense and stands outside of the mainstream and is all the better for it. Like all classic albums, its an album Brett Anderson had to make at this point in his life. BA Songs. 2008.
再见!维多利亚 豆瓣
7.9 (33 个评分) 基诺 / Chinos 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2008年4月10日 出版发行: 先生小姐唱片
来自武汉的基诺乐队可能是目前中国地区最与众不同的年轻乐队。
受英国音乐影响颇深的基诺乐队在跳脱英国音乐表面框架的同时,试图将自身的特点融合入他们所创造的音乐之中,以产生不同于别人的独特气质。首张专辑《再见!维多利亚》是他们首次正式发表自己的作品,这张拥有11首曲目的完整专辑所要表现的并非狂妄的信心与坚强的斗志,而是在试图挥手作别,与往日的自己以及相伴自己的那些美好事物。没有愤世嫉俗,没有革命野心,基诺乐队试图展现的,只是建筑在自身独特世界观之上略带忧郁的情绪。

发布日期 2005年1月1日 出版发行: Astralwerks / Emd
Indie-kids Athlete return with their exceptional new album 'Tourist', following on from the Mercury Music Prize nominated 'Vehicles & Animals'. This album is a significant step forward for the band, exploring new epic rock territory as previously inhabited by Coldplay & recently Keane, & includes the feel-good anthem 'Half Light' & hit single 'Wires'. Having received an outstanding response across press, TV & radio, those with any sense would place bets on Athlete being one of the biggest bands of 2005. Parlophone.

7.8 (49 个评分) Placebo 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2009年6月8日 出版发行: Dream Brother
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.
The Fray 豆瓣
7.6 (53 个评分) The Fray 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2009年2月3日 出版发行: Sony
2009 album from the Denver-based quartet, the follow-up to their enormously successful How To Save A Life. The Fray, who exploded into worldwide success with that album, have captured the skilled songwriting that broke them and, with the help of acclaimed producers Mike Flynn and Aaron Johnson, created a set of songs sure to make them household names. The band continues their licensing success story by collaborating with ABC's hit show, Lost in a series of music video promos featuring the album's first single, 'You Found Me' for the newest season of the show. The spots also ran during the 2008 American Music Awards, where the band was a featured performer. Over the weekend of the release and performance, the Lost video had over one million views. 10 tracks.
Parachutes 豆瓣
9.2 (379 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。
