專輯介紹
自從11月中旬專輯洩漏之後,Bloc Party的新專輯立即在網絡上廣為流傳,引起很多爭議。有人表示這張專輯比上張更出色,有望成為年度最佳之一。也有人表示這是張讓人打哈欠昏昏欲睡的爛碟。評價喜憂參半,但毫無疑問,Bloc Party在安靜了近一年後再次成為公眾的焦點。

  如果說這張必定是年度十佳之一未免有些武斷。整張專輯可以改進的地方很多。可以明顯感覺到樂隊在嘗試新的旋律,新的風格,但同時保留著一些上張專輯中試驗成功的Bloc Party式post-punk加黑人音樂特色。比如等,老歌迷會很習慣這種變化不大的新歌。給我的第一感覺就是曾經在哪裡聽過。等歌化了個裝,改頭換面再次出現。一個第一張專輯異常成功的樂隊,如果第二張專輯延續風格,或許能拉住一些忠實歌迷,但第一張專輯那種驚艷的感覺就沒有了,所以別指望我聽第一遍就能像愛上那樣愛上。說實話,聽第一遍時我只記住了的主旋律,整體感覺很模糊。到了第三遍,第四遍之後才逐步發現一些東西。這讓我有點失望。

  但Bloc Party比the Strokes爭氣,並沒有完全躺在那裡,旁觀風雲變幻。在保留部分特徵的同時,Bloc Party做了小小的變化,東插一點,西補一點地加入一些沒嘗試過的元素,但在局部立即達到改頭換面的效果。整張專輯少了一種散亂感,更流行,更勵志,更模糊。給人感覺這是一張很Bloc Party的專輯,像簡直就是上張專輯的B-side。而某些地方卻又讓你感覺這是一個更多元的Bloc Party,有很多東西被同時加入到專輯裡面,讓我一邊聽一邊反省,這到底是不是我熟悉的英國小樂隊?有些歌,比如從Matt的鼓和Kele的黑人嗓音開始,卻越走越軟,而一聽就是英國Brit-pop小隊的風格,除了Kele的聲音,少了些特別的東西。他們企圖變得更有想法,但從中段開始的無力一直蔓延到收尾,我真不知道該如何評價。或許這就是Bloc Party特色?上張專輯開頭強悍,讓人熱血沸騰,最後卻在中舒服地結束。這回開頭同樣出色,收尾趨於平緩。第一首就足以昭示這張專輯水準不會落於上張。這首可能最不像曾經的Bloc Party。傳說Kele從Patrick Wolf那邊得到了些許靈感,這首開頭Kele的高音就有那麼一點感覺。引入橋段也有借鑒成分,沒有新鮮感,但放在他們身上很是新鮮。整首歌過半時才出現明顯的熟悉的吉他。接下來是,也就開頭新鮮,中間完全的Bloc Party風格。比較特別的一首或許是第一主打歌,嘗試了很有勁道的旋律。有些歌比如巨難聽無比。Kele拿出雄心壯志寫詞,其對各種都市社會問題探討的深刻程度被拿來和相比。但尤其前半段就像半成品。而顯得單薄了,處理得簡單了,和比差了不少。單靠Matt的鼓就能把一首歌撐起來,比如,可惜新專輯裡供他發揮的地方還嫌少。

  也有可能是我對他們期望太高,導致這張專輯比我預期的要糟糕。首張專輯就成為NME年度第一雖說有內幕,但他們那張排個年度前三沒有問題。在這種情況下做第二張專輯壓力不可謂不大。這四個人站在一起顯得不和諧,所以有時我會覺得Russell和Kele的友誼十分珍貴。他們應該能做出更有包容性的東西來,不亂,但精彩。這張
麼已經不驚艷了,沒有那種像一樣有力又有勁的歌。要等下次了。不過如果你還沒聽過,可以聽聽看,畢竟還是一張可以多聽幾遍的有一定水平的有整體概念的專輯。我喜歡這張專輯,我還期待著能多聽出點東西來,以減少挫敗感。

1.Song For Clay (Disappear Here) (修改)

I am trying to be heroic in an age of eternity
I am trying to be heroic it's all around me, history Sings
So I enjoy and I devour flesh and wine and luxury
But in my heart I am luke warm nothing ever really touches me
And at the other sights
We need to precisely
Night of crime
I will look forward and eat it with complete disdain
All those rising champagne flutes
But when we kiss I feel nothing
Feasting arms, sleeping pills and Mum I'll berate
(So busy, won't save you)
Oho, How are, how are, melons they sound fit for nothing
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
Like the 80's never happened
Be cool. I'm afraid, I'm afraid
To merge on the freeway
Disappear here
Strongs the key
Into the magazine launch party

I'm hunting a deer and a swallow with complete disdain
Keep your hands off me I had remembered to live born
We suck each others face and make sure we are noticed
(The game won't see you)
Because Eastland Inn is a vampire
It sucks the joy right out of me
How we look for corruption in these golden years
Oho, How are, how are, melons they sound fit for nothing
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
Like the 80's never happened
Be cool. I'm afraid, I'm afraid
To merge on the freeway
Disappear here.
Disappear here.
Disappear here.
Disappear here.
Disappear here.




2.Hunting For Witches (修改)

I'm sitting, on the roof of my house
With a shotgun
And a six pack of beers,six pack of beers,six pack of beers.
The news copter says the enemies among us,
As bombs explode on the 30 bus,
Kill your middle class indecision,
Now is not the time for a liberal thought,
So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
I'm going to Roam
I go hunting for..
90's,Optimistic as a teen.
Now its terror
all things crash into town,into town,into town.
The Daily Mail says the enemies among us,
Taking our women and taking our jobs,
Reasonable thought is being drained by the non-stop fame
Fame to go

So I'll go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
I'm going to Roam..
I want an ordinary man with ordinary desires
Watch TV with a formed meal
I want an ordinary man with ordinary desires
This power has me still fooled
Fear will keep us safe in place
So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
I'm going to Roam
I want an ordinary man with ordinary desires
Watches TV with a formed meal
I want an ordinary man with ordinary desires
This powered man had me still fooled
Fear will keep us all in place




3.Waiting For the 7.18 (修改)

Waiting for the seven eighteen
January is endless
Weary-eyed and forlorn
The Northern Line is the loudest
Sitting in silence in bars after work
I've got nothing to add or contest
Can still kick a ball a hundred yards
We cling to bottles and memories of the past
(Give me moments)
Just give me moments (give me moments)
Not hours or days (give me moments)
Just give me moments (give me moments)
Grinding your teeth in the middle of the night
With the sadness of those molars
Spend all your spare time trying to escape
With crosswords and sudoku

If I could do it again
I'd make more mistakes
I'd not be so scared of falling
If I could do it again,
I'd climb more trees
I'd pick and I'd more wild
blackberries
(Give me moments)
Just give me moments (give me moments)
Not hours or days (give me moments)
Just give me moments (give me moments)
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend
Let's drive to Brighton on the weekend

4.The Prayer (修改)

Lord give me grace and dancing feet
And the power to impress
Lord give me grace and dancing feet
Let me outshine the moon
Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all
Standing on the packed dance floor
Our bodies thrown in time
Silent on the weekdays
Tonight I claim what's mine

5.Uniform (修改)

There was a sense of disappointment as we sped away
Every town now just felt the same
The tear on my cheek just dried up; it wasn't there
All the young people looked the same
'Cause we're so handsome and we're so bored
So entertain us, tell me a joke
Make it long, make it last
Make it cruel, just make me laugh
We can't be hurt, we can't be hurt
Did you forget your blues on the weekend?
The internet will keep us together
MTV taught me how to sulk and love nothing
And how to grow my hair long
we can't be hurt
Why do you go picking fights that you'll lose?
So why do you go thinking thoughts that are above you?
'Cause I was brave, intelligent; I could have been a hero
No-one can be trusted under the age of fourteen
...my joy and pain is relative
I've gotten so good at lying to myself
轉載來自 ※Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網
Well my pain and honour is used up
Oh! Oh! Oh!
My guns are rusted
So when're you gonna realise
Those are not your wrongs to right?
Have another life, have another...
I am a martyr, I just need a motive
I am a martyr, I just need a cause
I'm a believer, I just need a motive
I'm a believer, I just need a cause
We're finding it hard to be alone
We're finding it hard to break the mould
We're finding it hard to excite myself
We have nothing at all to say
Uniform
There was a sense of disappointment as we sped away
All the young people looked the same




6.On (修改)

I am on, Switched On
A sudden clearness, a clarity
Hidden away in every locked toilet
I've been waiting for you in the Joiners Arms
I know your name, I know your name,
I danced with you we're all friends on
So this largs we're rhyming like bullets,
rolled up twenties
They disappear
You make my tongue loose
You make my tongue loose
I am hopeful and set to free
You make my tongue loose
You make my tongue loose
I am hopeful On Friday night
I do the talking I pay the fine,
the dumpster's mine Trips to the roof,
see what we're missing,
Drunken I love you's on top of the world
And when it runs out we're chasing something
we'll never catch
And when it runs out we'll find me
A flat so bleak I've been bitten by a vampire

I find this bleaker than the one it replaces
You make my tongue loose
You make my tongue loose
I am hopeful and set to free
You make my tongue loose
You make my tongue loose
I am hopeful
I can charm I can charm the room
I can charm them all
I can charm I can charm the room
I can charm them all
You make my tongue loose
You make my tongue loose
I am hopeful and set to free
You make my tongue loose
You make my tongue loose
I am hopeful
I can charm I can charm the room
I can charm them all
I can charm I can charm the room
I can charm them all




7.Where Is Home (修改)

Off to the funeral
making cola knots
We sit and reminisce
about the past and in her voice
only sadness her only son taken from her
In every headline we are reminded
that this is not home for us
In every headline we are reminded
that this is not home for us
Second generation blues or
points of view not listened to
Different worlds and different rules of allegiance
Claiming to the bible and a spatula
the memory of the way things were
I do not see how I cannot smile
I deal with anger all the time
You'll win, what they did to the black men
In every headline we are reminded
that this is not home for us
Where is it?
Where is home?
Where is it?

Where is home?
I walk this mountain tired of lunity and belligerence
this told me what a flat wave is getting me down
I want to stamp on the face of
every young policeman today
And break the fingers of every old judge to cut off
the feet of every ballerina I can
So I decide I decide I pretend
that there's nothing wrong
The teeth of this world take me home and every day
I must ask myself, where, where, where
Where is it?
Where is home?
Where is it?
Where is home?
In every headline we are reminded
that this is not home for us
In every headline we are reminded
that this is not home for us

8.Kreuzberg (修改)

There is a wall that runs right through me
Just like the city, I will never be joined
What is this love? Why can I never hold it?
Did it really run out in the strangers' bedrooms?
I
I have decided
At twenty-five
Something must change
Saturday night in East Berlin
We took the U-Bahn to the East Side Gallery
I was sure I'd found love with this one lying with me

Crying again in the old bahnhof
I
I have decided
At twenty-five
That something must change
After sex
The bitter taste
Been fooled again
The search continues

9.I Still Remember (修改)

I still remember
How you looked that afternoon
There was only you
You said 'it's just like a full moon'
Blood beats faster in our veins
We left our trousers by the canal
And our fingers, they almost touched
You should have asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should have asked me for it
How could I say no?
And our love could have soared
Over playgrounds and rooftops
Every park bench screams your name
I kept your tie
I've gone wherever you wanted
轉載來自 ※Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網
(I still remember)
And on that teachers' training day
We wrote our names on every train
Laughed at the people off to work
So monochrome and so lukewarm
And I can see our days are becoming nights
I could feel your heartbeat across the grass
We should have run
I would go with you anywhere
I should have kissed you by the water
You should have asked me for it
I would let you if you asked me
I still remember




10.Sunday (修改)

Heavy night it was a heavy night
Feels like we come back from the dead
Heavy night it was a heavy night
I cannot remember what I said to anyone
If we get up now we can catch the afternoon
Watch the under 15s playing football in the park
we've got
I love you in the morning ,
When you're still hung-over
I love you in the morning,
When you're still strung out,
I love you in the morning,
I would cry all week and so do you
We discern to let us sleep
Let all the draughts creep in to reach for this life
There might be white to smatter you in
轉載來自 ※Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網
That have the right answers
That we British forget
About those north eastern gaps
I love you in the morning ,
When you're still hung-over
I love you in the morning,
When you're still strung out,
I love you in the morning,
With you I am cut from a pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest a silent smile,
a private kind of happiness
You see giant proclamations are all very well
But our love is louder than words




11.SRXT (修改)

Walking in the countryside
It seems that the winds have stopped
I took down the posters from my wall
Left letters for you all
I remember moments of happiness
Endless summer, acoustic guitars
Being a man made me coarse
When I wanted to be delicate
I called up Eugene
Told him I was drowning
Like a castaway on a warm ocean
Waiting for a purpose to rise
轉載來自 ※Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網
They say it's not becoming
For a boy my age
If you want to know what makes me sad
Well it's hope, the endurance of faith
A battle that lasts a lifetime
A fight that never ends
Walking in the countryside
It seems that the winds have stopped
Tell my mother I am sorry
And I loved her
