When thinking of the finest dream pop records from the early '90s, The Comforts of Madness tends to get lost in the shuffle. Frequently and unfortunately, the Pale Saints were disregarded as just another part of the 4AD sound, lacking distinction and relying on the clichés of the time.
近来正好下这张听,感觉跟上面的差不离。现在对所谓4AD(吉他)之声已不太敏感了,或者说是麻木。不过pale saints本身是个比较呆的队,他们玩起花样来很老实,不怎么会讨好听众,可是不幸是这种老实让他们偏于古板。In Ribbons很早就腻了,原因如刚才所述。Slow buidlings我觉得比in ribbons有人味些,不是平啊庸啊什么的,而是以前那种拘谨释放了不少。当然硬要以dreampop的角度去评价自然会有另一番结论。倒是他们的细碟歌有些不错的发现,像kinky love之类,可惜极少再有。 |
