Pale Saints 的第一张，shoegazing经典专辑之一

2003年，Radiohead发行了乐队的第六张录音室专辑《Hail To The Thief》。主唱Thom Yorke那近乎病态的呻吟声，游离的吉它和弦，迷幻而缥缈的电子合成音，一直以来都是radiohead音乐的基调，也是radiohead立足于另类音乐歌坛的杀手锏。在相继推出了几张颇受欢迎的专辑以后，radiohead也在经受着考验，同时他们也在不断的变革与创新当中。融合了部分R.E.M. 和Nirvana身上的音乐元素。不仅有R.E.M.的迷幻和假声，而且在高潮部分还有Nirvana般简单的释放。 “2+2=5”和“Sit Down. Stand Up.”创作于两年前，开始阶段如慢慢上涨的洪水，并没有感官上的宣泄，在一阵低沉的压抑之后Thom Yorke终于爆发。“Sail to the Moon”加入了钢琴的伴奏，灵魂乐渗透了整首歌曲。专辑中的破碎，游离，迷幻和挑战性等方面与乐队上一张专辑“Amnesiac”几乎没有什么变化。 “A Wolf at the Door”前奏清新，但从Thom Yorke发声的那一刻起，其连续不断的呻吟使人产生了头晕目眩、半睡半醒的感觉。Thom Yorke运用自如的假声和迷幻的音乐风格，可以深刻的感受到Pink Floyd和R.E.M.对radiohead的影响。 这张RadioHead发行于2003年的唱片有个我喜欢的中文名字-<贼鹊篇>,我想这是因为我喜欢村上的缘故.实际上,这个奇怪的名字的确来自于村上春树的小说.乐队的贝司手Colin　Greenwood说:"我看过村上春树的<发条鸟年代记—鹊贼篇>.书里的概念是我一直想传达的:黑暗会笼罩人类,而人们根本不自觉,他们觉得自己正在伸张正义,但这就是法西斯和无知的开端.这对我而言,才是真的'贼'."2003年的春天,这张唱片的原名在战火纷飞的日子里诞生.当时全球一片反战的声浪,"Hail　to　the　thief"是在布什胜出选举后美国群众反对呼声中的一个口号,讽刺暴君的诞生. 作为RadioHead十年来的地6张大碟,虽然有一个颇具反抗意味的标题,但在音乐上却与十年前"爬行"时的狂燥血和少年心气相去甚远.气质上,似乎更加接近于上张专辑<Kid A>的电子迷幻.温和,阴暗,荒凉的实验色彩依然弥漫在整张唱片中.微细的电子噪音不断冲击着耳膜,声音悠远,色彩暗淡.虽然在有的曲目里,比如"There There",还能听出些依稀的力度,然而,也全都笼罩在一层迷雾般的电子糖衣之中了.主音Thom　Yorke的声线如古堡幽灵般游荡,更是把抑郁发挥到了极致.另一首"Myxomatosis"作为整张唱片中最为"摇滚"的曲目,其中充斥着变形的Fuzzed　bass声效,宛如那剂众多摇滚乐手都尝试过的致幻药-LSD. 而在歌词上,则也是写得精致而充满隐喻.虽然相较于之前的<Kid A>,好象是正常了许多.但是却都出奇的冗长.由于外语水平的限制,至今没能看懂一首完整的歌词.在每首歌的标题之后,还有个奇怪的副标题,更是显示出神秘的实验主义色彩. 实际上，或许你会认为我并不了解真正的RadioHead.在2000年那张迷幻又迷幻的<Kid A>问世之后,许多人带着失望离开了RadioHead.而我却恰好是那个时候认识了这支异质的乐队.是在某本杂志上看到<Kid A>的介绍,唱片的封面让我印象深刻.然后,第二天,就在音像店里看到了这张唱片.还是高中生的我居然想也没想就花N十大元买下了,奇怪.于是坠入 RadioHead编织的电幻深渊,无可抑止. 我想我只是喜欢这样的RadioHead.抑郁的,阴暗的,迷乱的RadioHead.虽然很多曾经喜欢他们的人因为这样的转变而离他们而去.然而我却是喜欢的.我觉得,他们就是这样一群神经质的孩子,纤细,敏感,抑郁.引用一个已经离开 RadioHead的网友说的：(他们的)音乐极尽压抑郁闷之能,让你在这样的听觉效果中自残!仿佛是面对着那永远无法征服的黑暗,你所能做的,唯有睡着或是死亡.

Shoegazing（自赏摇滚）的奠基者The Jesus and Mary Chain的首张专辑，一般也认为是首张Shoegazing专辑，他们在其中演练了各种吉他噪音和梦幻般的和声，"Just Like Honey," "My Little Underground" 和 "Never Understand"都被认为是另类摇滚的经典。

Queen首发于1975年的这张《歌剧院之夜》可能是摇滚乐历史上最华丽的篇章，把摇滚歌剧这个概念发展到前所未有的高度，奢华无比。主打歌Bohemian Rhapsody被滚石杂志的编辑称为有史以来最“歌剧化”的摇滚歌曲，简直就是个小型歌剧，并且打破了当时英国单曲排行榜上冠军时间最长记录。不过这首歌，乃至这张专辑都有点晦涩灰暗，有人说常听 Queen的东西会发疯，我不能确定，但不可否认这首在整个摇滚历史上都很有影响的歌曲在华丽的编曲之外，歌词其实是非常阴暗的。这张制作成本非常夸张的专辑在美国也大卖300万张。 这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第230位。

Feeling no doubt burdened by the various claims of being the new Sex Pistols, and likely fed up with accusations that the walls of feedback were their own trick, the Reid brothers underwent a bit of a rethink with Darklands. The end result must have fallen squarely between two camps -- hardly eligible for sunny commercial airplay, not quite as flailing as the earliest efforts -- but, from a distance, this is an appealing, enjoyable record. Songs were often longer while the album itself was shorter than Psychocandy, walls of sound were often stripped away in favor of calmer classic rock twang and groove, while William Reid took the lead vocal at points, showing he had a slightly sweeter, wistful tone in comparison to his brother. However, the changes on Darklands can be overstated -- the basic formula at the heart of the band (inspired plagiarism of melodies and lyrics alike, plenty of reverb, etc.) stayed pretty much the same, even if the mixes were cleaned up -- compare "Down on Me" to any Psychocandy cut for a good example of the difference. The use of drum machines in place of Bobby Gillespie's rumble tended to enforce the newer focus, but at the album's best, such a seeming dichotomy didn't cause too much worry. "April Skies" made for a great single, while the soaring-in-spite-of-itself "Happy When It Rains" was another winner, one that Garbage more or less made its own some years later for its own similarly titled hit. William's singing turns made for other highlights as well, notably "Nine Million Rainy Days," the overt misery of the title suiting the dark crawl of the song, and the lengthy lament "On the Wall." Darklands is no Psychocandy in the end -- nothing the band released later ever was -- but it's still a good listen.

《A Bigger Bang》似乎不是滚石在90年代之后的延续，而是更迅速，坚定的回到了他们少壮英雄，纵横驰骋的岁月。它紧紧抓着布鲁斯的根。不，更准确的说，它抓住的是，滚石曾经作为元老之一所缔造的那个带着布鲁斯胎记的硬摇滚之根。在时尚的眼里，硬摇滚早显得古老，就像他们眼角的鱼尾纹。但硬摇滚也许早就成了滚石的筋脉，滚石的心。他们真正热爱，并真正与之交融。他们回到硬摇滚的时候，就等于潇洒的回到青春，回到未来。尽管主唱Mick与Keith的嗓音现在听起来似乎流露出了以往少有的一丝温厚，并且愈发沧桑醇厚，但歌词里还是充斥着一贯的狂放，冷嘲，不怀好意的暗示。分类狂人和考据专家在面对他们时可以比较轻松。他们从来做的就不是一种复杂的音乐，也不为时髦分心，而是在简单和坚定里闪出光，磨出境界。 《Rain Fall Down》里有舞曲，但也是七十年代disco的影子，像是他们唱着唱着，陷入了对那年月里日常生活的温暖回忆。

Houses of the Holy is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released by Atlantic Records on 28 March 1973. The album title is a dedication by the band to their fans who appeared at venues they dubbed "Houses of the Holy". It was the second Led Zeppelin album to not officially be titled after the band. It was also the first of the band's albums to be composed of completely original material. It represents a musical turning point for Led Zeppelin, as they began to use more layering and production techniques in recording their songs.

印象有如躲藏在雾气中歌唱的天使一般，甜美的歌声充满了不食人间烟火的飘渺，这是精灵才能描绘出的声音图像，在每一个音符间释放情意的梦幻乐音。 来自于英伦的新迷幻风潮下的他们在这张专辑里用相当简单的乐器配置制造出一种慵懒而迷蒙的美感，有着民谣传奇歌手Nick Drake的优雅、Cowboy Junkise的飘渺柔情，另外还有Bob Dylan歌曲般的深情感人。其实这也是一只很低调的乐队，保持了4AD以往乐队的风格，走神秘路线。第一次听到的时候就放下了手上的事情，能让人如此投入的音乐越来越少了，也许是心的感动越来越麻木了吧，但是毕竟还是找到了一些难忘的经历，耳朵在纷繁的世界中越来越遮掩着自己的本吧，其实就象自己的心一样，渐渐地把自己孤立于外界之中，然后看着路人狂发感叹，“这帮傻X，干嘛呢”。说完了有点儿后悔，因为他们在用同样的心理语言对你说着同样的话。孤立未必是件坏事儿，更多地独立地感触自己的时间，同样未必是件坏事儿。偶尔也让音乐暖暖自己的心吧。
