Love Psychedelico Golden Grapefruit Review

把Jady的LP热浪继续到底!刚在论坛发过了,贴过来备份。



1. Freedom
热气腾腾的开头让我想到驰骋于荒漠的吉普车,卷起飞飞扬扬的沙土。Tell me how to feel today,完全不需要回答的自由派,想做什么,以什么姿态去面对新的一天都已明晓。非常非常LP宣言的一首歌,爱、自由、和平是永恒的主题。各位,最后那一句英文是"Rave up!"(振作起来!) 多亏Jady提醒。

2. Aha!(All We Want)
咚咚咚咚好不热闹的High energy开场啊(笑),然后是略带挑逗的吉他,痒痒的想笑。Aha!的感觉其实和Freedom挺像,不过景象没那么广阔就是了。特别是看了PV里水果乱飞后就再也无法把这首歌和果汁的意向分离开来。

3. 7days
第一遍的印象并不强烈,而且觉得是这张专辑里最走新式化的一首歌,也许是作曲太过工整,段落和高潮划分略显僵硬的缘故吧。奇怪为什么LP把这首歌当重点推出,PV也有了。让我选的话,carnation, humanimation更出色。不过呢,7days很有煽风点火的气势,好像宣传新的信仰似的,do we have to know? do we have to change?

4. Carnation
继Freedom后最喜欢的专辑曲!民俗风格的歌(很好奇用的什么乐器,清脆的很,莫非是banjo?),以叙事形势缓缓展开。自嘲的,温馨的,勇敢的,浓烈的carnation。给予诸多颜色的这首歌,在我一人踏上新旅途的时刻听来有很多心理暗示。在月光照耀的大地上奔走(笑)

5. Help!
Beatles翻唱曲,原曲没听过所以无法比较。很紧凑的编曲呢,PV拍的真是太太太太可爱了!!

6. Rain
和Jady聊到这首歌的时候竟然不约而同的说喜欢“mysterious woman”那一句 雨水和神秘的女子,都能让人联想到美好的画面吧 =D 总体感觉很清新,特别是高潮拖了足足5秒的Rain,Kumi庞大的肺活量让人叹为观止。Rain这个词在Kumi唱来显得格外悦耳,第一次觉得听觉和味觉、嗅觉都连在一块儿了。Rain~~ 喉咙口甜甜的,仿佛呼吸到哗啦啦的雨水一洗酷暑后的和风。空明的、清凉的、让自我意识消逝远去的Rain~

7. N29
唉。。。短到被大脑自动过滤掉诶!必须倒回去重新细细品过。N29 = 29岁生曰的Naoki,用Kumi送给他的生曰礼物 - Vintage吉他弹奏着懒懒的小调。Naoki~~ 你啥时候那么可爱了XD

8. I Saw You In The Rainbow
抒情曲啊,难得的抒情曲!虽然没觉着很特别,但甜蜜蜜的也就够啦!

9. Good Day, Celebration
半说唱式,编曲上dry flavour处理的歌,算是这张专辑里另一首非常非常LP风格的歌了吧。说不上特别出色或特别普通,但总体感很好。

10. Humanimation
算不算LP第一次尝试全曲说唱啊?对LP歌迷来说应该是很新奇了吧?我第一次试听的时候好惊讶的说,咦咦咦,LP什么时候来这手了??效果还不错的说,歌词也是挺有味道(Jady,贴上来吧!)

11. Everyone, Everyone
都说LP受John Lennon影响,这首给我Power to the people那种热热闹闹大合唱的感觉,大声呼吁着团结友爱!(笑)

12. Sad Story
终于点评到最后一首了。。。类似California,带着点怀旧伤感(不过没有California那么缓慢)。那个吉他伴奏啊啊啊啊啊,像极了某Eagles曲子,我现在怎么想都想不起来(痒抓不到好难过555)反正是Hell freezes over里的某首!!

后记:

Freedom将成为我的official飚车曲。

看到一篇好有意思的review,节选一段

OK, so I've listened to Love Psychedelico's new album, "Golden Grapefruit" about a half a dozen times in the last 30 hours or so and I'm now ready to uleash my opinion on it.

It's a good, solid offering from the 'Delico, however, it's a little underwhelming for the rabid fan, considering the 3 year wait. I do believe the casual fan and the new listerners will dig it more, though. "Golden Grapefruit" is named after their recording studio and I imagine Singer / Rhythm Guitarist Kumi has an obsession with grapefruits in general. It appeared as the subject and title of the last song on their last studio album, "III" and the fruit made an appearance (among other fruits and vegatables) in their "AHA! (All We Want)" PV. They even named one of their tours "The Grapefruit Tour"! The quirkiness of that obsession could also go a ways to explain the quirkiness of the 'Delico in general. I don't quite know how, but I'd bet the farm it does.
