《(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。

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。

Elastica genre: Rock
release date 1995-03-14 publisher: Geffen Records
Elastica's debut album may cop a riff here and there from Wire or the Stranglers, yet no more than Led Zeppelin did with Willie Dixon or the Beach Boys with Chuck Berry. The key is context. Elastica can make the rigid artiness of Wire into a rocking, sexy single with more hooks than anything on Pink Flag ("Connection") or rework the Stranglers' "No More Heroes" into a more universal anthem that loses none of its punkiness ("Waking Up"). But what makes Elastica such an intoxicating record is not only the way the 16 songs speed by in 40 minutes, but that they're nearly all classics. The riffs are angular like early Adam & the Ants, the melodies tease like Blondie, and the entire band is as tough as the Clash, yet they never seem anything less than contemporary. Justine Frischmann's detached sexuality adds an extra edge to her brief, spiky songs — "Stutter" roars about a boyfriend's impotence, "Car Song" makes sex in a car actually sound sexy, "Line Up" slags off groupies, and "Vaseline" speaks for itself. Even if the occasional riff sounds like an old wave group, the simple fact is that hardly any new wave band made records this consistently rocking and melodic.

The film charts the iconic British band’s sprawling journey over the last few years – from an unexpected break in Hong Kong which sowed the seeds for their first album as a four piece in 16 years, to a glorious home coming show in London and, finally, an emotional reunion with their Hong Kong audience. New World Towers cuts between scenes from the band’s impassioned performance at this summer’s Hyde Park show in front of 60,000 fans and the stirring concert in Hong Kong, but also offers a raw, candid glimpse into the interior life of the band as well, with personal documentary footage and band interviews showing just how an opportune recording session unexpectedly gave birth to a new album, while also raising questions about the future of Blur. New World Towers reveals fascinating insights into the group dynamic and especially the relationship between singer Damon Albarn and guitarist Graham Coxon. Ultimately, their enduring friendship prevailed - allowing Coxon to bring [The Magic Whip] to completion nearly 18 months later.
