The Bends Douban Discogs
9.2 (373 ratings) Radiohead genre: Rock
release date 1995-03-13 publisher: Capitol
Radiohead的处女作《Pablo Honey》虽然十分出色,但现在看来它更像是乐队在为这一张更加舒展的经典《The Bends》所做的准备,热身。同《Pablo Honey》一样,这张唱片的整体音乐构架仍然是建立在不断回旋缭绕的吉他声音之上,三把吉他共同奏出的断断续续的旋律不仅仅是唱片中最为精彩的部分,同时也成为了Radiohead的音乐标志。这种用最传统的乐器所奏出来的不同声响在听觉上创造了一种有力的回馈,它将听者的欲望和痛苦共同挖掘了出来。同时从某种程度上说《The Bends》又是一张深受前人影响的摇滚专辑,偶尔从唱片中你会发现U2,Pink Floyd,R.E.M甚至是The Pixies的影子,但是Radiohead将前人的音乐手法用不同的音乐气质进行了一个极为另类的演绎--专辑中的音乐极具空间感,却并不像Pink Floyd蒙胧缥缈,这就让歌曲听起来更加具有生命力,更富有执着的感情。Thom Yorke那些充满了反复的自问,纠缠,扭曲和欲望的歌词赋予了唱片另外一种忧郁的气质,在音乐之外,一股精神暗流通过他时而温柔时而神经质的演唱传达给了听众。Thom的嗓音应该是让人温暖的,但当感情爆发的时候,你依然能见到它高亢的一面,在汹涌的音乐下这病人般的声音实在令人无法自拔。等到这张唱片出现的时候,摇滚乐已经走过了四十年的路程,而《The Bends》却还是轻易的成为了经典,这正是因为Radiohead在努力创造独特的音乐情绪的同时也保留了摇滚乐的爆发力和极佳的旋律性,这使得这张唱片不仅仅得到了评论家的一致好评,同时也在市场上获得了巨大的成功。直白的说,《The Bends》是一张让你第一次聆听就能被深深吸引,而在接下来的每一次听觉过程中又都能发现新的音乐细节和聆听乐趣的摇滚专辑。

Hail to the Thief Douban Discogs Discogs
8.9 (163 ratings) Radiohead genre: Rock
release date 2003-06-09 publisher: Capitol Records / Parlophone
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.

与天使共枕 Douban
8.9 (14 ratings) Neil Young & Crazy Horse genre: Rock
release date 1994-01-01 publisher: Reprise
Though it once again reunites him with Crazy Horse and includes such typical rock workouts as the lengthy "Change Your Mind" and the raucous "Piece of Crap," Sleeps With Angels is more musically varied than most of Neil Young's albums with his erstwhile backup group, ranging from piano-based ballads like the album opener, "My Heart," and closer, "A Dream That Can Last," which might have fit on After the Gold Rush, to the country-folk "Train of Love," which sounds like a leftover from Harvest Moon, and the hard-edged grunge of the title track. The Crazy Horse influence comes in the songs' structural simplicity and the unpolished playing. Though musically diverse, Sleeps With Angels is a song cycle in which Young repeats the same themes and images. To put it simply, the album is about death, presumably primarily the suicide of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, which occurred while it was being recorded. From "My Heart," which declares, "It's not too late" and "Somehow, someone has a dream come true," to "A Dream That Can Last," which declares, "There's a better life for me someday," Young begins and ends with a shaky, uncertain optimism, even though his language is riddled with references to violence, especially gunfire, and desperation. As in the album's title, even the references to sleep and dreams are about death. Young repeats some of the same lines from song to song and sometimes the same music ("Western Hero" and "Train of Love" have the same tune). The album thus has a tired, mournful feel that is both compelling and off-putting. Young had not investigated such forbidding territory since the days of Tonight's the Night and On the Beach, and Sleeps With Angels is on a par with those often harrowing works.

8.5 (41 ratings) Pixies genre: Rock
release date 2003-05-20 publisher: 4AD
When they first hit the underground scene, the Pixies were like an exotic drink that hid its sweetness behind a ferocious bite. The album's production is like a crude explosion: every strum and clang comes down with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. English and Spanish lyrics collide as singer Black Francis (later Frank Black) shouts in a hoarse monotone and Mrs. John Murphy (later Kim Deal of the Breeders) backs him up with throaty wails. Yet somehow the clash of these bruising titans makes for tracks that print indelibly upon your consciousness--once let in. Kurt Cobain is their most famous student. He grafted the Pixies' time-honored craft of the big bang theory onto Nirvana's biggest hits. (You start with a quiet verse and then explode for catharsis in the chorus--evidenced best here with "I've Been Fired.") The Pixies themselves have served quietly, attaining post-punk godfather status not by tooting their own horns, but through the praise of a steady stream of genuflecting admirers whose word of mouth continues to increase the band's deserved critical standing. --Rob O'Connor
