专辑介绍:
Paradise Lost这只英国著名哥特/死亡金属乐队近年来的表现虽然仍不失其王者风范,但多少还是有些差强人意。自1995年第5张官方专辑“Draconian Times”取得非凡的商业成就及赞誉后接连的几张转型之作都未再像以前那样引起人们的共鸣。然而我还是无法完全放弃这只乐队,因为他们曾经为我们带来了“Lost Paradise”(1990)、“Gothic”(1991)以及“Draconian Times”(1995)等那么多的经典,那么多的激情,所以最近我还是怀着虔诚而忐忑不安的心情拿下了其最新的录音室专辑“Symbol of Life”。
按下PLAY键,短暂的电子音效铺陈之后是凝重的节奏加上整齐的吉他Riff(反复乐段)以排山倒海之势向我们袭来,这便是开场曲“Isolate”--不错的开始;紧接着以感性钢琴开头并不时穿插其中的第二首歌曲“Erased”,并没有因钢琴及女声的加入而失去那份沉重以及那入骨的悲切; 在随后的“Two Worlds”、“Pray Nightfall”等乐曲当中Paradise Lost依旧保持了像前面一样的激情和气势,虽没有像其经典的专辑”Gothic”(1991)那样大量加入弦乐和女声但是也并没有像其第六张专辑“One Second”那样频繁加入令人困惑的鼓机、Techno节奏等玩艺。
整张专辑基本上在传统的四件套(吉他、贝斯、鼓、键盘)娴熟的主理、配合下制造出强大、凛冽的听觉冲击,而旋律向(Tune-Oriented)的乐曲编排使得Paradise Lost前所未有的流行化起来。
对于如今一直在转变中的Paradise Lost,我想他们是再也转不回当初了,好在在这一系列的转变中Paradise Lost好像已经找到了些许方向。就让我们一同等待他们的下一次出击吧。
哥特类重金属摇滚的经典,在学校门口的地滩上买到的,居然是正版,hoho~因为本人不太会写,所以附上MSN上找来的一段review:(居然是英文版,凑合一下吧)
Though the relative merits of Paradise Lost's bizarre transformation from heavier-than-God doom/death metal originators to an alternative rock act delving into gothic electronica remain locked in a fierce debate, there's no sense ignoring two unmistakable facts. First, the band had clearly reached the end of its original direction's tether with 1995's Draconian Times, which, despite its success with fans and solid songs, was little more than a retread of the band's previous album, and arguably career-apex, Icon. Second, while their subsequent sonic experiments have often resembled nothing more than a slightly heavier version of Depeche Mode (complete with singer Nick Holmes adopting a very David Gahan-esque, deadened baritone), the band has proved remarkably resilient in pursuing and defending their chosen career course, of which 2002's Symbol of Life is amazingly the fourth installment. And like the first, 1997's transitional One Second, Symbol of Life may prove the most palatable to the band's disapproving hardcore metal fan contingent. Album highlights such as "Erased," "Perfect Mask," and first single "Mistify" present very adventurous and mostly satisfying contrasts between the very heavy, minor-chord guitar riffs of old and the newfangled electronic elements of recent years. Conversely, songs treading the dreaded middle ground ("Pray Nightfall," "Self-Obsessed") are as irritatingly average and revealing of the group's pop limitations as ever, the tribal drumming heard on the title track proving especially painful. Yet, for the aforementioned metal fan base, the final insult is saved for last, by way of a tepid cover of Bronski Beat's "Small Town Boy." Though the premise is far more offensive than the actual results, the truth is Paradise Lost's wholly unsurprising arrangement for the song (contrived along similar lines of commercial desperation as that of hundreds of other metal bands who have covered new wave hits in recent years), as well their drab execution of it, just don't sound convincing. And sadly, forgiveness for any sort of commercialization is hard to come by within the metal world, so for those of you who feel that way about the modern Paradise Lost, Symbol of Life will not change your minds. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
