简介: 日版满满的14首曲目真是很High!一早就期待The Enemy的这张新作品,首张We'll Live And Die In These Towns在英国大热的一塌糊涂,一跃成为08年的最佳新人乐队。相信第2张作品一定有很多人在期待,专辑名字也取的相当贴近民心(虽然有点俗气)。鼓手Liam Watts先前已经大放厥词,第2张专辑一定有别于首张,不然我们就是在原地踏步。新专辑第一感觉听下来觉得他们已经开始步入大牌的行列了。Elephant Song气势恢弘的吉他弹奏似乎已经预示着The Enemy的强势宣传力度。No Time For Tears作为先期发行的单曲很有震撼力,轰鸣的鼓声震响耳膜,Tom Clarke浮躁深沉的声音还是那么富有活力。Sing When Your In Love的清新节拍以及Last Goodbye的浑厚有力是多么动听,51st State,Nation Of Checkout Girls,Don't Break The Red Tape绝对是The Enemy所特有的激情味道,十足秉承首专激进力量十足的朋克口味。Keep Losing迷离状的昏昏沉沉以及Silver Spoon撕裂心扉般的呐喊把整张专辑托向了一个高潮,不能说这张专辑一定很出色,但至少是张重点关注的对象!不过话说回来,The Enemy又是聪明的,用工人阶级做素材在眼下经济危机的时代为人民歌唱,恐怕没人会说他们的不是。
Music for the People is the second studio album by Coventry band The Enemy, due for release in April 2009. The first single was debuted on Radio 1 on 17 February 2009, including an interview with the band discussing dates and their "new sound". The single will be officially released on 13 April, the album being released a fortnight later on 27 April. The album was leaked on several torrent sites on the 24 April.
Information
Following a short break last summer the trio spent the majority of autumn 2008 recording in rural Wales at Monrow studios with producer Mike Crossey. Whilst the plan was to capitalise on the buzz from their debut, the band didn't rush the sessions. "We totally took our time," Clarke argues.
In early 2009 The Enemy completed the recording of their second album. On their Myspace blog, the band described their second studio album as a 'big step forward', the band deciding to 'go back to basics with the recording and do it all on tape rather than computers which is how the vast majority of modern records are made, and as a result it sounds huge, like a proper old school rock record'. They also described the new album as having a more 'raw and punkier sound'.
As part of the promotion for the new album, the band played a number of gigs in small intimate venues. They took part in February 2009 in, Lincoln, York, Dundee, Wakefield, Tunbridge Wells and Corby. Reviews have been mainly positive, however notably the NME only gave a 5 out of 10 star review, stating "Tom Clarke's lot aim for the stars but sadly fall painfully short."
