专辑介绍: Sloan的作品过往吹无定向风，但综观最近3张专辑：1997年之One Chord to Another；1998年之Navy Blues及刚推出的全新专辑，他们似乎已经定性，尽管几张大碟不是紧密呼应，起码有明显的共性。在处女大碟Smeared，他们大概以为自已是几队乐队的化身，风格一时一样。直至Between the Bridges，由于他们已经花了太多时间团团转，于是实行"六神合一"，当正自己是半打乐队/乐手的承继人(也不管人家是否尚在人世)：Beatles、Elton John、ELO、the Posies、Velvet Crush 及 Ben Folds Five。将这张专辑编入摇滚乐大事年纪当中，恐怕要把过去三十载的年份大兜乱，然后交汇重迭，好让每一个历史性时刻同时出现。 Sloan仿佛有特异功能，同时成长于60年代、70年代、80年代及90年代，充份吸收40年的音乐精华。这队来自Nova苏格兰的4人组，在全新专辑之中结合Navy Blues的70年代怀旧气息及One Chords Leads to Another的精彩旋律，挥洒令人艳羡的才华，谱写一首又一首流行乐极品。Friendship一曲完全是Beatles嫡系旋律，旧日情怀满泻；The Marquee and the Moon以钢琴为主，一派含蓄动人。美妙之处，犹如映在脸上的冬日晚霞，令人恍然大悟，原来世上仍有如斯卓越非凡的好音乐。12首作品风格贯彻，Sloan今次将心思花于他们擅长的多部和声及强劲结他，令每一首乐曲绽放异采。假如想再次体会一曲直中脏腑的震撼感觉，细听以假音演绎的 Take Good Care of The Poor Boy，那一遍又一遍的醉人副歌，令人巴不得即时将CD据为己有！不要让你的听觉麻木，是时候刺激一下音乐神经，Between the Bridges是你的救星，它无疑是90年代最被低估及忽视的其中一队出色组合。(转） Dedicated to 螃蟹again~ One thing that no one can deny about Sloan is that they can't be ignored as a band always willing to bring out the fun and the rock & roll. They always wear the hearts of their influences proudly on their record sleeves, but never succumb to loss of originality for the sake of trying too hard to impress upon the listener the validity of their roots. Action Pact expands upon Sloan's muscular leanings, due primarily to the band's decision to hire a producer for the first time in its history. Under the direction of Tom Rothrock (producer of artists as diverse as R.L. Burnside, Beck, and Elliott Smith), the songs gel like on no previous Sloan release. The band really plays to its strengths on Action Pact, showcasing remarkably tight vocals, the power of drummer Andrew Scott, and the arena-rocking, bouncy, handclapper songs that defined part of Sloan's post-Navy Blues career. The only noticeable disappointment of this release comes in the decision not to include any compositions by Scott, whose songs have adorned every previous outing by these proud Canadians, but this doesn't really hold back the power and depth of Action Pact; it just seems a bit dishonest to the legacy Sloan have built. Nonetheless, Action Pact is a streamlined album, recorded with minimal overdubs (read no keyboards), which opens in the classic Sloan one-two punch with "Gimme That" and "Live On" by songwriters Chris Murphy and Patrick Pentland respectively. It's on the fifth track, the Jay Ferguson-penned "False Alarm," where the band starts to really stretch out into fresh territory that never lets up the intensity through the rest of the album. The brilliant pop of Pentland's "I Was Wrong," the jerky tension of "Who Loves Life More," and the elliptical "Reach Out" are all magnified by the obvious inspiration Sloan have found while the lovely "Fade Away," which, even with crunchy guitars, manages to hold onto the delicacy Ferguson always brings to the table and provides a perfect album closer. Lyrically, the members of Sloan continue down the more thoughtful path they first explored liberally on Pretty Together, tackling subjects from the troublesome dichotomy the touring musician faces when a hint of desire to settle down emerges to the defensive argument against the critics who charge the band with treading too close to its heroes. Action Pact is another step ahead for Sloan, which is an achievement they should be proud of considering the superb quality they've shown for the better part of a decade. 专辑曲目: 1. Gimme That 2.
