简介: 第五张专辑正准备构思时,Stereophonics的鼓手却遭到了撤换,来自阿根廷的 Javier Weyler 原本只是帮忙,Stereophonics 录制 DEMO 带,後来再次到阿根廷作巡回时,受邀参加一个三层楼的私人派对,每一层楼都有乐团在表演,但是越高层却更黑暗也更放荡,他们就在第三层楼再度遇到玩的正High的Javier,也认定了Stuart的替代人选!也许是换了新团员的缘故,也许是经过近八年的演唱生涯,尝试多样曲风的稍加转换,这次又有些耳目一新的音乐感受。
首支单曲「Dakota」同时夺下英国榜、下载榜双料冠军,也是他们的首支英国单曲榜冠军,在讨喜的摇滚脉动中,绽现淋漓尽致、率性过瘾的激调;飙出阵阵压迫感十足的吉他音墙,「Superman」仍夹杂在 Kelly 魅力十足的真假音转换下,勾引出强烈的摇滚劲道;颇有庞克粗颗粒的「Doorman」,摇摆在火力全开的放肆音浪之中,Kelly 的吉他飙奏与撕破嗓门狂唱感受,都是点出期待许久的亢奋情绪;厚实诚恳的流畅小品「Rewind」,透着些许U2的音场感受,是首值得你反覆聆听的优质之作;以美丽女子「Lolita」命名且带着动人情调,轻松自若的展现深具质感的不凡实力!保持最原始的摇滚动力,Stereophonics 一直没让人失望,如同封面七彩缤纷色调,如此鲜艳迷人,多样线条带出绝不褪色的摇滚传奇!
Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones roars "Cuz all I wanna do/Is make a mess outta you" on "Doorman," one of many white-hot blowouts from the band's fifth album, Language. Sex. Violence. Other? The album title borrows from the classification code used on the backs of DVDs, and its blunt display instantly pulls listeners toward Stereophonics' nonchalant chutzpah. Jones and bassist Richard Jones have never sounded more brash. The punk-inspired spark that made their 1997 debut, Word Gets Around, so impressive is rekindled. This 11-song set, which features quick and curt one-word song titles, is matched with sex appeal and an unshakable confidence. Argentinean-born Javier Weyler, who replaced founding drummer Stuart Cable in 2004, is a great fit with Stereophonics' wicked yet sensitive personality. Songs such as the smoldering bass funk of "Brother," the crunchy drop-kick of "Girl," and the glossy guitar hooks of "Dakota" find Stereophonics' second coming to be a convincing one. Jones' signature vocal grit saunters around the bravado of "Superman" and slow wax of "Pedalpusher" particularly well. This is the studio record they've been dying to make. While their previous four albums all showcased great moments, Stereophonics never fully realized their full-throttled power until Language. Sex. Violence. Other? Previous singles like "Madame Helga" and "The Bartender and the Thief" were mere glimpses into what this Welsh rock threesome could do if they just built upon their thick, merciless riffs and Jones' rough-edged vocals. Language. Sex. Violence. Other? is such an intense studio record. Stereophonics could not have nailed it any better.
