Chapter 181: Music Commentary

The Black Hole band's new album rushed to the top of the sales charts on the first day of release, and at the same time caused quite a lot of discussion.

There are people discussing this album on various forums, post bars, scarves, and presses.

The first to hear this album were not only die-hard fans like Li Ke, but also the bosses of major music companies and music critics from major media.

The album received mixed reviews among fans, but the media and critics praised it one-sidedly, and it was so positive that it almost made one wonder if they were all paid.

The entertainment reporters chasing the hot spots have surrounded Xinghai Culture, but the Black Hole Band does not accept interviews, so they have to take out the previous press release and process it, and heat up the leftovers.

Downstairs of Xinghai Culture, reporters from dozens of media are squatting here, wanting to try their luck, even if they take a photo, they can make a difference.

"Brother Zhang, give. Xiao Liang handed the takeaway he bought back to Lao Zhang in the car, leaned on the side of the car, lit a cigarette and took a puff.

Lao Zhang devoured it, accidentally choked, and hurriedly drank saliva to smooth the meal.

Xiao Liang spat at the mouth and said angrily: "This black hole band is too proud, isn't it? So many media rushed to interview them, and they were good, they didn't see any of them, and they didn't answer a single interview, isn't this looking down on people?"

Lao Zhang was satisfied with putting the lunch box into a plastic bag, throwing it in front of the windshield, took out a piece of paper, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "No way, who makes people awesome? If you can make headlines and cause such a big discussion with your work alone, you can also play a big name like this." ”

Xiao Liang was puzzled: "I can't figure it out, I also listened to that album, and that's it! And what "Advanced Animals", "Junkyard", it sounds messy, what's so good?"

Lao Zhang shook his head: "Your idea is very dangerous! As a reporter in the music section, your music taste needs to be improved. On the contrary, I think these two songs and that "Ant Ant" are the three most weighty songs on this album. ”

"How?"

took out his mobile phone and found the manuscript, Lao Zhang handed it over and said, "This is Xie Xiaoke's music review, you can take a look first." ”

Xie Xiaoke is a very famous music critic, he once served as the host of the Sound of Music dynamic 101 program, the music director of one of the top ten music companies, and the popular Fei Yu, one of the eight major singers in the pop music scene, is a veteran figure in the circle.

Although he is retired, he still has columns in more than a dozen media such as "Southern Weekly" and "Music Paradise", and his music criticism is very important in the circle.

Xiao Liang took a look, and Xie Lao wrote in the first sentence of the opening paragraph: "This is the best album I have heard in the past ten years." ”

"The Black Hole Band is a genius band, I have been following them since "Rock on the Road of New Life", and then after some things, they chose to suspend the group, I still feel a little regretful, I feel that it is another meteor that flashes by, but I didn't expect them to use such an album to kill it again!"

"The Black Hole Band has blazed a new trail for rock music, and in the past two years, there have been countless creators who have followed the trend, but few have been able to learn their essence. Half a month ago, in the newly established Arrow Band's "Scream", there were a few songs with a little charm, but in my opinion, they were just cats and tigers. ”

"After hearing this album, I really wanted to meet the lead singer of the Black Hole Band, Cao Wu. I'm curious to know how he came to write these songs. ”

In "Rock on the Road of New Life", "Stubborn" and "Du Xuan C" are still a little immature, but they can already hear their ideas of trying to open up, and "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" directly created a new music style. ”

"The arrangement of 'Believe in Yourself' is particularly good, combining Western symphony and rock music, which is amazing, but the West has not done it before. Martin Lehmen's 1989 "Win" had a similar experimental music. ”

"Once You Was" is a mixture of folk songs and rural elements, and although the words are praised by most people, in my opinion, it feels a bit sad about the new words. ”

"What surprised me the most was "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", the Chinese people attach more importance to the lyrics than the melody, which is a tradition that has existed since ancient times, and it is also the status quo. We are often moved by a lyric, but we are a little less able to understand emotions from melodies, and I am like that. ”

"I was shocked by the lyrics of "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", but after hearing the first song on this album, "Advanced Animals", I am not exaggerating to say that I cycled the single seventeen times before I came to my senses. ”

"I wanted to write this review three days ago, but I only wrote it today because I have been in a state of self-doubt these days. Everyone knows that I have written a lot of songs in my life, and I have a lot of rock. I used to be quite complacent and thought I had written a few classics, but now I realize that my songs are really unbeatable compared to this "Advanced Animal". ”

"Is there really a genius in this world? I didn't believe it before, but now I do. Only the amazing talents of the past and the present can write such a song!"

"What do the higher animals say? It's humans. There are 48 adjectives used in the song to describe human beings, and these 48 words, each with a sharp blade, dissects the essence of human beings to the fullest!"

I can even imagine that when Cao Wu wrote this poem, he must have looked at us stupid humans from the perspective of a bystander. ”

"There is nothing new under the sun, and throughout history, we will find that these 48 words describe almost all the characteristics of human beings perfectly, and even in today's scientific and technological progress, we are not much more advanced than the ancients in terms of thought. ”

"Where is the happiness in the last sentence, it is even more chilling in people's hearts, human beings have been pursuing the so-called happiness since ancient times, but how many people have really obtained happiness? Even if they think they have been happy, how do they know that it is not the temporary pleasure after being satisfied? Does happiness really exist? We don't know, but this is precisely the reason why human beings can become "Advanced Animals"? Because just like the second song "The Garbage Dump" wrote, although we eat with conscience, we can also pull out some thoughts. ”

"If hearing "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" makes me happy to meet an excellent peer, this song "Senior Animal" makes me feel awe. ”

"After talking about the literary nature, let's talk about the arrangement, the arrangement of this song is very strange. It's not like "Junkyard", you can hear a little bit of "Du Xuan C", the simple and repetitive riff, the drums and bass are treated a bit like "Don't Come to Trouble Me", but it is more simple and straightforward, although the piano sound is messy, but it is carefully choreographed, fully depicting a chaotic society. ”

"It's not like Ant Ant with its heavy rhythm and blues either, it's a little aggressive, but it doesn't make you feel overdone in any way, just a little weird. The source of its eerie feel comes from the complex timbre of the synthesizer that is different from the usual rock music template. With simple drum beats, repetitive timbre surrounds and vocal rendering, it creates a fantastic atmosphere that makes you want to stop. ”

"I think that with this song alone, Cao Wu is enough to stand in the ranks of master music producers!"

"I love Advanced Animals, I don't deny it. But that doesn't mean the other songs on this album aren't good. On the contrary, each of them is enough to be sold as the title track of an album, but it is simply jealous that they are put into an album. ”
