John Legend - Evolver



等了好久終於等到啦!!!
距離前一張Once Again已經有兩年的時間了
Evolver是咱們約翰傳奇大爺的第三張錄音室專輯
原本以為還要過幾天才聽得到這張專輯,沒想到今天就在唱片行給我遇到了

這張專輯的第一首主打
Green Light已經在大概半年前就釋出了
那時剛聽到的時候還蠻驚豔的
兩個我超愛的Vocal->Andre 3000 & John Legend
沒想到他們兩個合作會有這麼好的效果
跟我熟悉的Legend不一樣
這首歌很high,充滿著濃郁的電子味是首典型的Club song
John溫暖的聲線加上Andre的rap
聽起來跟以前的約翰差很多,但是很好聽阿!!!

跟前兩張專輯滿出來的Neo-Soul相比
這張Evolver的風格比較多變
John的唱腔有更多的發揮
讓最近都在聽金屬的我
總算有張R&B可以好好享受了

01 Good Morning(Intro)
02 Green Light feat.Andre 3000

Symphony X - Paradise Lost




前金大團Symphony X在07年發的專輯

跟同是玩前金的DT相比
SX的音樂參雜較多的古典成分而且他們的音樂也比DT重
音樂的差異性不是重點...好聽就好:P

從專輯開頭的序曲開始
一步步的隨著的優美旋律進入了SX的新古典交響金世界
跟前幾張專輯一樣
專輯的連貫性很高
聽著聽著
常常會不知不覺進入下一首歌而完全沒有發現
這才叫專輯阿!

Track Listing

01 Oculus Ex Inferni
02 Set The World On Fire

Europe - The Final Countdown

有史以來最流行的咩頭?
先不管你認不認識
Europe這個老字號的金屬團
我相信這首歌你可能全家都聽過了

"The Final Countdown"
典型的歌比人紅(默)
原本只是一段主唱寫來當演唱會開頭的音樂
沒想到卻成為
Europe最賣的一首歌
也變成
歐洲的代表作

"The Final Countdown"



We're leaving together
but still it's farewell
and maybe we'll come back,
to earth, who can tell?

I guess there is no one to blame
we're leaving ground (leaving ground)
will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown.

The final countdown.

Oh, We're heading for Venus (Venus)
and still we stand tall
cause maybe they've seen us
and welcome us all, yeah
with so many light years to go
and things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown.

The final countdown.

The final countdown (final countdown).

oh...oh

The final countdown.

Oh, it's the final countdown.

The final countdown.

The final countdown. (final countdown)

Oh, it's the final countdown
we're leaving together

The final countdown
we'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown (final countdown)
Oh, it's the final countdown

Avenged Sevenfold - A Little Piece Of Heaven

Avenged Sevenfold 七級煉獄

好吧..
其實我沒有特別愛他們的歌
會聽,只是對他們沒有特別喜歡
這首"一小塊天堂"出自於他們去年的同名專輯
這張專輯評價有點兩極
極端的金屬頭或是喜歡A7X早期風格的人對這張同名的評價比較低
而新樂迷或是流行口味比較重的一般樂迷則有較高的評價

我前面已經提過了
會聽,但是沒有特別愛
不是不喜歡,只是喜歡的程度沒有很高
算是有點喜歡這樣子XD

雖然沒有喜歡他們的音樂到極致
不過這首"一小塊天堂"的mv倒是很吸引我的胃口
這隻mv用動畫的方式呈現
至於裡面的劇情就請各位自己搭配歌詞觀賞拉

警告:裡面可能會出現一些暴力、血腥的畫面

"Avenged Sevenfold - A Little Piece Of Heaven"



Before the story begins, is it such a sin,
for me to take what's mine, until the end of time
We were more than friends, before the story ends,
And I will take what's mine, create what
God would never design

Our love had been so strong for far too long,
I was weak with fear that
something would go wrong,
before the possibilities came true,
I took all possibility from you
Almost laughed myself to tears,
conjuring her deepest fears

Must have stabbed her fifty fucking times,
I can't believe it,
Ripped her heart out right before her eyes,
Eyes over easy, eat it eat it eat it

She was never this good in bed
even when she was sleepin'
now she's just so perfect I've
never been quite so fucking deep in
it goes on and on and on,
I can keep you lookin' young and preserved forever,
with a fountain to spray on your youth whenever

’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
and a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
but baby don't cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
’cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart
let's make a new start
’cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah
but baby don't cry

Now possibilities I'd never considered,
are occurring the likes of which I'd never heard,
Now an angry soul comes back from beyond the grave,
to repossess a body with which I'd misbehaved

Smiling right from ear to ear
Almost laughed herself to tears

Must have stabbed him fifty fucking times
I can't believe it
Ripped his heart out right before his eyes
Eyes over easy
Eat it eat it eat it

Now that it's done I realize the error of my ways
I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the grave

I gotta make up for what I've done
’Cause I was all up in a piece of heaven
while you burned in hell, no peace forever

’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
and a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
but baby don't cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart
Let’s make a new start
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah
But baby don't cry

I will suffer for so long
(What will you do, not long enough)
To make it up to you
(I pray to God that you do)
I'll do whatever you want me to do
(Well then I’ll grant you a chance)
And if it's not enough
(If it’s not enough, If it’s not enough)
If it's not enough
(Not enough)
Try again
(Try again)
And again
(And again)
Over and over again

We’re coming back, coming back
We’ll live forever, live forever
Let’s have wedding, have a wedding
Let’s start the killing, start the killing

Do you take this man in death for the rest of your unnatural life?
(Yes, I do.)
Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your unnatural life?
(I do.)
I now pronounce you...

’Cause I really always knew that my little crime
would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
And a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
but baby don't cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart
Let’s make a new start
’Cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah
But baby don't cry

Richard Cheese & Lounge Against the Machine

這團體是前幾個禮拜在批踢踢咩頭版發現的
他們是一個以翻唱/改編歌曲聞名的Jazz樂團

那....Jazz樂團幹嘛標上Rock n Roll的標籤勒?
這是因為他們翻唱過太多搖滾的歌曲了
而且每首歌都很惡搞也翻唱得很有自己的味道XD

廢話不多說
下面就擺上他們的翻唱歌曲跟原唱來給各位聽聽吧

"Beat It(Michael Jackson cover)"


原版

"Down With The Sickness(Disturbed cover)"




"Freak On A Leash(Korn cover)"


原版

"Rape Me(Nirvana cover)"




"Smells Like Teen Spirit(Nirvana cover)"




"Stairway To Heaven(Led Zeppelin cover)"




最後....最屌的是這個!!!

"People = Shit(Slipknot cover)"




People equal shits !!!!!!!!!!

Lacrimas Profundere - Memorandum



又是個德國的金屬團
跟同樣是德國的Helloween不一樣
Lacrimas Profundere的音樂跟Lacrimosa比較接近 - Gothic Doom

哥德咩頭跟傳統咩頭有點不一樣
傳統咩頭充滿力量、陽剛
歌德咩頭比較灰暗、陰柔,聽起來金屬味沒那麼濃
用一個字來形容很多人聽過歌德咩投的感覺就是"
"

這張Memorandum是Lacrimas Profundere在99年發的專輯
近期的Lacrimas是清腔歌德男低音
而早期則是死腔
聽過之後,腦中的顏色好像只剩下灰色
整張專輯帶給人的情緒非常低落
心情不好的時候聽會特別有感覺喔


Track Listing

01 Infinity

02 Helplessness
03 ... And How To Drown In Your Arms
04 Black Swans

05 Reminiscene
06 The Crown Of Leaving
07 All Your Radiance...
08 The Embrace And The Eclipse
09 The Fate Of Equilibrium

"Black Swans"




...So embrace the flowers of fall
and remember the rain
which will ever weep over landscapes wide and grey
and feed the rivers flowing into the waters of life
though oblivion is a mightier water -
so majestic, so cold, so fathomless deep...

囧七號

九月初從東台灣玩回來的時候就決定了要自己去看部電影
只是那時候很猶豫要看海角七號or囧男孩
兩部都很吸引我,一直到看電影的前一天我才決定要看哪部

14:05的囧男孩一張,謝謝!
看到批踢踢電影版上的文章激起了我對囧男孩的好奇
看完囧男孩走出電影院的當下...心裡有點悶悶的
那種悶的感覺跟之前看的秒速五公分很像
兩部片裡面所談到的是完全不一樣的東西
不過兩部看完之後留下那種遺憾的感覺很像
會讓人在心裡多很多想法
都是那種看的時候可能不會想太多,但是後勁很強的電影

至於海角七號
票房好、口碑好、連媒體都在炒作=_=
但是我看完之後的感動反而沒有囧男孩來的多
就感覺是很普通而且很多bug的片

囧跟七都是國片
片中都出現了我們熟悉的場景、膚色、對話
兩相比較起來
海角很商業化
而且在一些切換鏡頭的地方感覺很突兀
感覺有點太刻意了

囧的部份則是不要帶的看搞笑片的心情去看
想看搞笑片的話去看海角,囧要帶著你的去看
跟著導演的節奏隨劇情高低起伏
會發現很多簡單的橋段藏著不簡單的劇情
天真的童言童語、去了就回不來的異次元
我們小時候不也是這樣嗎?
隨著時光飛逝
大家都長大了,以前小時候那顆純真的心也跟著消失了
囧可以帶你重溫跟不上歲月的童年
回憶那顆曾經單純沒煩惱的心

Angra - Temple Of Shadow



這張跟
Rebirth都是大家極力推薦的Edu時期Angra作品
既然看到這麼多Metalhead都大推這張,那我當然要收來聽聽看拉

這張跟
CrystallionHattin一樣都在談十字軍戰爭
但是兩個咩頭團的十字軍戰爭聽起來差很多
兩者營造的氣氛跟感動都很夠
Crystallion的十字軍感覺比較像在聽故事
一個關於戰敗方Crusader士兵的故事
而火神的十字軍就感覺比較像在看電影
一部戰爭場面浩大的十字軍東征

從序曲開始....似乎聞到了前金的味道
接下來第二首Spread Your Fire...
什麼叫做氣勢?這兩首歌連起來聽就叫做氣勢啦!
我的熱血靈魂瞬間被點燃了!哈哈!
Kiko跟Rafael的雙吉他音牆營造出壯觀的戰爭氣氛
緊接著一路熱血到暗影之殿整張最噴的
The Temple Of Hate
前南瓜頭現任伽瑪射線的主唱
Kai Hansen也在這首歌參一咖
這首仇恨殿堂融合了前衛、速度、交響的元素在裡面
加上兩大咩頭天團的主唱嗓音
Oh My God ! 我都快感動到掉淚了Q_Q

剩下的感想懶得打了
直接丟試聽比較快
正在看這篇文章的你是否也能跟我有同樣的感動呢?

Track Listing

01 Deus Le Volt !
02 Spread Your Fire
03 Angels And Demons
04 Waiting Silence
05 Wishing Well
06 The Temple Of Hate
07 The Shadow Hunter

T.I.R.E.D.

地獄般的三天煙波生活終於結束了.....
已經洗好澡,不過手上還聞得到那煙波特別的味道=_=

現在靜下心來想想
這三天除了晃神之外
腦袋都會不經意的出現一些旋律
第一天:Lacrimas Profundere - We Shouldn't Be Here
第二天:Crystallion - The Battle... Higher Than Sky
第三天:Angra - Rebirth
這三天也聽了不少X光狗的Here Comes The King
(因為我們家的上菜秀換成這一首...)

累到沒什麼心力去想事情的我
腦袋居然只知道音樂跟肚子餓

我大概是瘋了吧..........

2008年10月10日 星期五

Oops !

其實此刻的我....

心裡面很多想法、很開心
看到許久不見的面孔
跑去熟悉的海邊發呆
聽著自己喜歡的音樂
喝著愛喝的啤酒
這樣的日子不是挺幸福的嗎?

2008年10月9日 星期四

不想看到她?

今天上班的時候有人跟我提到一個名字
一個被我埋在心裡不想挖出來的名字

他問我一個問題:你應該不想再看到她了吧?
當下我想不出什麼話可以回答
說不對也不是,說對也不是
心裡其實挺矛盾的

最近這陣子除了上班上課之外
大部分的時間我都讓自己沉溺在音樂裡面
藉由音樂讓自己不去想一些對自己沒幫助的事情

逃避?我也不知道
不過現在這樣過生活其實還挺爽的

Angra - Rebirth



這張是後期的Angra風格
跟早期Andre主唱的時代比起來
Edu主唱時期的Angra樂風比較偏向Symphonic
Edu的聲音感覺比較溫暖厚實,而Andre比較高亢單薄
不管是前後期的Angra都很好聽
不過比較之下,我喜歡後期Edu的聲音多一點

Track Listing

01 In Excelsis
02 Nova Era
03 Millenium Sun
04 Acid Rain
05 Heroes Of Sand
06 Unholy Wars
07 Rebirth
08 Judgement Day
09 Running Alone

Hans Zimmer - Gladiator Music From The Motion Picture



不知道各位有沒有看過神鬼戰士
這部電影在我的心中一直有很高的評價
既然這麼喜歡Gladiator,那原聲帶當然不能錯過

這張Gladiator的Score是漢斯大爺的代表作
從開頭的Progeny開始聽
眼前浮現影片開頭的麥田景象
一直聽到Honor Him
腦海中隨著音樂出現Maximus死去的畫面
接著來到最後一首Now We Are Free
一聽到這個旋律就會想起影片中黑人(Juba)說的話"Not , yet"

另外這張Score很特別的一點
裡面很多首配樂都有人聲吟唱
Lisa Gerrard深邃的嗓音
把這張近乎完美的Score帶入一個更高的境界

Track Listing

01 Progeny
02 The Wheat
03 The Battle
04 Earth
05 Sorrow
06 To Zucchabar
07 Patricide
08 The Emperor Is Dead
09 The Might Of Rome
10 Strength And Honor
11 Reunion
12 Slaves To Rome
13 Barbarian Horde
14 Am I Not Merciful ?
15 Elysium
16 Honor Him
17 Now We Are Free

"Now We Are Free"

Lamb Of God - Laid To Rest

原本對這個團完全沒有瞭解
是看完重金屬之旅之後
影片裡面的一段歌詞深深地吸引我

如果我還有一天能活
還有一口氣可吸
我願拿一切來交換
那牆上的血跡
你才會承認
才能洗去那污漬
確實忘記
你最好把腦袋空掉
帶著一絲可悲的情緒離開
掩蓋再一次的失敗
讓這件事安息
安慰自己,一個人最好
毀滅自己


所以就把他們的音樂找來聽了




Lamb Of God他們玩的音樂是Thrash Death
主唱Randy Blythe的唱腔比較偏向死腔
不過Randy的滷蛋比較小顆
唱功不錯,也吼的很有power
可是對於一些死金聽眾來說
咬字太清楚、聲音不夠糊
也就是他們最大的缺點

我是聽得很爽拉
反正音樂是自己在聽
不是別人的耳朵在聽
所以也不用管別人怎麼說
自己聽的爽最重要拉!

"Laid To Rest"



If There Was A Single Day I Could Live,
A Single Breath I Could Take,
I'd Trade All The Others Away.

The Blood's On The Wall,
So You Might As Well Just Admit It.
And Bleach Out The Stains,
Commit To Forgetting It.
You're Better Off Empty And Blank,
Then Left With A Single Pathetic Trace Of This.

Smother Another Failure
Lay This To Rest

console Yourself,
You're Better Alone,
Destroy Yourself,
See Who Gives A Fuck.

Adorb Yourself,
You're Better Alone,
Destroy Yourself.

I'll Chain You To The Truth,
For The Truth Shall Set You Free.
I'll Turn The Screws Of Vengeance,
And Bury You With Honesty.

I'll Make All Your Dreams Come To Life,
And Slay Them As Quickly As They Came,

Smother Another Failure
Lay This To Rest
console Yourself,
You're Better Alone,
Destroy Yourself,
See Who Gives A Fuck.

Absorb Yourself,
You're Better Alone,
Destroy Yourself.

See Who Gives A Fuck

FAILURE
If There Was A Day I Could Live,
If There Was A Single Breath I Could Take,
I'd Trade All The Others Away,
I'd Trade All The Others Away.

Metal : A Headbanger's Journey



1986年發生了一件怪事
重金屬 成了世界上最受歡迎的音樂
到處都是留長髮的孩子,比著"魔鬼角"手勢,彈著"空氣吉他"

這部紀錄片沒有歌功頌德的吹捧,沒有八股的樂派介紹
導演Sam Dunn用參加大型金屬音樂祭,還有各式的訪談來介紹金屬這個極具爭議的音樂

整部片從
Lamb Of GodLaid To Rest中切入正題
如果我還有一天能活
還有一口氣可吸
我願拿一切來交換
那牆上的血跡
你才會承認
才能洗去那污漬
確實忘記
你最好把腦袋空掉
帶著一絲可悲的情緒離開
掩蓋再一次的失敗
讓這件事安息
安慰自己,一個人最好
毀滅自己


History
重金屬的起源 -
Black Sabbath
從黑色安息日開始
邪惡的聲音變成了界定重金屬的元素
大量的使用惡魔三全音就是為什麼金屬這麼邪惡的原因

Environment
透過影片中的訪談我們可以了解到
大部分的金屬樂團成長的環境都很差
整座村子只有一盞燈、、你可能會在墓園長大,因為根本沒地方可以去
惡劣的環境塑造了這些金屬樂手強烈的人格
Rage Against The Machine的Tom Morello提到
我不要!這是我的生活!是我擁有的!
Fuck you ! I won't do what you tell me !

在一段樂迷及樂團的訪問之後
導演跑去了德國的Wacken
有四萬個死忠的金屬迷跑去這個德國北方的小鎮
享受四天的啤酒、狂歡和重金屬
我的媽!
這個現場看起來好High阿!

影片的後段還有更多的訪談
更多的樂團更多的話題
在這邊我就不多談了

如果你是個金屬迷
那這片重金屬之旅你一定要看
如果你不是個金屬迷
我也推薦你看這片
裡面探討的不僅僅只是單純的金屬樂而已
也探討了音樂文化與生活

最後來幾段影片好了

"Metal : A Headbanger's Journey "



"Wacken Open Air Intro 2008"



"Rage Against The machine - Killing In The Name"
(前面提到的Fuck you ! I won't do what you tell me !就是這首歌的歌詞)

Metallica - Master Of Puppets

今天看完了重金屬之旅(影片觀後感之後會po上)
聽到影片選單跟影片最後的傀儡之王整個人都熱血起來了

Metallica的吉他就是要這樣
趁趁趁的才好聽阿!!!

"Master Of Puppets"



End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction

Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your deaths construction
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your Master

Your life burns faster
Obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind, smashing your dreams

Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Needlework the way, never you betray

Line of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your Master

Your life burns faster
Obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind, smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Master, Master, where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, you promised only lies
Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries
Speak to me!

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending phase, Drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too


Come crawling faster
Obey your Master
Your life burns faster
Obey your Master
Master

Master of
Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind, smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
