Nimrod
创千万销售量及葛莱美奖肯定之美国首席另类摇滚团,1997年大作 推荐曲:「Hitchin’ A Ride」、「Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)」、「Walking Alone」 一开始的「Hitchin’ A Ride」就证明了Green Day多方尝试的企图,开头的提琴与结尾的吉他,不但鲜绘出幽默的情境,也对比出歌曲主干Stray Cat般的复古调式。另一首令人印象深克的作品是演奏曲「Last Ride In」,受60年代冲浪音乐(Surfing)启蒙的这首歌,搭配上在Green Day作品中罕见的大量铜管乐器使用,雕刻出如007主题曲般丰富戏剧表情,而描写早逝生命的「Walking Alone」一曲,更显出乐团团员愈趋成熟的步履。 由于这张专辑里每一秒钟均能透露目不暇给多元消息的特性,我们可以知道,要斩钉截铁地去为Green Day粘贴纯然的Punk乐团标签,显然是个冒险的行为。虽然过去两张专辑"Dookie"和"Insomniac"的销售纪录已双双荣获多白金唱片的证明,但Green Day的三个年轻人不愿因商业利益而墨守成规。即使团员们认为这张专辑仍紧守着Punk Rock的跳跃精神,但添加其上的其他类型乐风所集成出之新气象,才是他们最希望乐迷们能看到的。 Nimrod came along two years after 1995's Insomniac and was the first indication of Green Day's willingness to stretch the boundaries of punk rock. The fullness of the record is first hinted at on "Hitchin' a Ride," which starts out chug-a-lugging and then breaks into a raging rocker."Redundant" is accented with some psyched-out guitar work and has Billie Joe Armstrong singing a good deal more than usual. The wonderful "Platypus (I Hate You)" speed-rocks with abandon and recalls the early days of L.A. punk (a little Dickies here, a little Descendents there). The biting "Take it Back" is a snarling throwback to hard punk, and "Prosthetic Head" is an infectious ditty that counts among the very best on the album. Most surprising is "Last Ride In," an instrumental nod to the sensual surf-and-sun life. Of course, the crown jewel of the collection is the sentimental, acoustic "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," which seemed nearly inescapable when it was released. Beyond these standouts, even the "usual" Green Day fare here has punch.
