72_72291 "Wow! Marvel! Marvel! ”

This was the title of a music review written by David for the October 29 issue of the Los Angeles Times, and as a professional contributor to Rotation, the editor-in-chief of Rotation, told David early on that this issue of the magazine had left at least two pages of room for his review. David knew this, but he couldn't hold back his excitement and immediately wrote a short review for the Los Angeles Times, a cooperative newspaper, and then promised to write a complete and professional review for Rotation.

David uses a series of simplest words and simplest symbols to express his inner excitement - in fact, even so, David still feels that this is not enough to describe his love for the album "Tempest".

"It's an album that goes down in history, and it's good enough to compete with 'Trembling,' 'Abey Road. road)' comparable! That's the first sentence of David's music review, and he compares the album "Tempest" to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and the Beatles' "Abbey Road", which are widely regarded as two of the finest works in music history. This shows David's admiration for the "storm".

"The reason why the third album is very important for a rock band is not only because after the production of two albums, the band's creative inspiration will enter a bottleneck, and talent is often easily limited, and many bands start their downhill journey from the third album; At the same time, because of the polishing of two albums, the band's creation has begun to enter a mature period, and if they can make breakthroughs, they will often create more excellent works.

For example, the Beatles, the third album 'One Night Carnival (a. hard。 day’s。 night)', which not only began the Beatles' miraculous journey in the United States, but also reached the peak of Paul and John's creation. The same is true for glory unto death. The album "Storm" embodies all Hugo's inspiration and creativity for bands and rock, breaking the shackles of traditional rock and neo-metal rock and breaking new ground.

It's an album that's fit to be heard from start to finish, without a single weak track. The high tide, surprises, and shocks continue to flash, making people want to stop. The tough, tenacious, changeable, melancholy, confused, lost, and elusive temperament exuded by the whole album undoubtedly complements the album's name, showing the ups and downs on the road of glory to death music bit by bit, and sometimes there is a gentle and gentle low singing, which makes people feel that they are so easy to get close to.

This album once again feels the courage and innovation of glory to death, they boldly integrate classical, electronic, pop and other elements into the style of rock, so that they are shown in the same song, but it makes people take it for granted, as if music is inherently made like this, and that kind of natural moving awakens the most primitive love for music in the depths of the heart. It can be said that this 'Storm' of glory to death represents not only the popularity of this era, but also the band's huge self-breakthrough, and the revival of the rock spirit.

On this album, Hugo Lancaster fully demonstrates his talent, composing extremely beautiful melodies and combining them with wonderful permutations; He wrote extremely poetic lyrics and interpreted them heartily and heartily. This qiē gives 'Storm' an extremely distinct personality, deeply imprinting the characteristics of this rock band into the music, and making rock and roll rejuvenate its exuberant vitality.

Suddenly, it reminds me of the Beatles' first concept album in music history, 'Sergeant Pappo's Lonely Heart Club Band (SGT. pepper’s。 lonely。 hearts。 club。 band）’。 This album may not be the Beatles' best album, but it is one of the most important albums in the history of rock 'n' roll. Because after that, rock and roll entered a new era, and there was no law to follow, which completely changed the trajectory of music.

'Tempest' may not be the best album of Glory to Death - it is now, but not necessarily in the future - but it is certain that this album conveys a new musical concept of Glory to Death: simplifying the complex does not mean abandoning traditional techniques, but rather learning to use the most sophisticated, high-level and exquisite techniques to interpret the simplest, most authentic and most beautiful melodies. Technology is never the focus, spirit and mind are.

Tong guò this album, the glory to death will rock and roll faith, once again sowed the seeds.

If the first music of the album "Storm" is wonderful, and the overall quality even surpasses the once insurmountable peak "Bathing in the Morning Light", becoming the album that surpassed "Don't Mind" in 1996, then what really made "Stormy" go down in history is the ingenious recording method of glory to death.

Glory to Death regards itself as an underground band that wanders on the road and sings, performing its own songs in the noisy and ordinary life, and every detail of the noise becomes the most wonderful storage, clearly outlining the creative background of every singing scene, every outdoor recording studio, and every song in the mind, so that the audience can enter the world of glory to death, and truly become a musical note in their music, wandering with the ups and downs of the melody.

This appalling recording method breaks almost all the shackles of the traditional recording studio, and brings out the essence of the rock band in a unique way, and even makes the noise part of the accompaniment with a superb arrangement. Glory to death has never been an idol, but this time, they have fully demonstrated their grassroots attributes, the spirit of always walking on the road and rushing on the road, giving them fresh vitality.

In a trance, I seemed to see with my own eyes that the underground band that traveled across the United States and sang while walking was setting off a rock storm that swept across the North American continent.

Glory or death. This is the spiritual core of glory to death, the key to the brilliance of their music, and the reason why they are 'great'. It's a great rock band, there's no doubt about it.

As an aside, at the end of the album, Glory to Death brought a surprise, slowly flowing into the heart like a clear spring, calming the restlessness and excitement of the soul, and I couldn't help but savor the emotion and abruptness on the tip of my tongue. This is glory unto death, this is only glorification unto death, the unique and irreplaceable glory unto death. ”

David's music review published in the "Los Angeles Times" caused a thousand waves with one stone, and he did not take out each song on the album in detail to analyze, but stood at the height of the entire album and made a brief review. Between the lines, you can clearly feel his admiration and even worship for "Stormy Rain".

David used up almost every word of praise and gave the highest praise to glory to death, which sparked a chain of discussions, and the topic of the "surprise" led to countless conjectures. After going back, many people began to listen carefully to the album, but surprisingly, almost no one noticed this so-called surprise.

At first, many speculated whether David was talking about the last song on the album, "Waiting." on。 the。 world。 to。 GE)", it is widely believed that Glory to Death is changing the history of rock and roll with this song, boldly declaring its historical status and musical determination. Using this song as the finale is meaningful.

There are even many commentators who have begun to study "waiting for the world to change", deriving many meanings from this song, carefully interpreting the intention of composing the song for glory to death, and the lyrics written by Hugo. It's really laughable.

It wasn't until more than two months later that the news spread one after another, and people realized that their ideas were fundamentally wrong. It turned out that in the album "Tempest", there was actually a hidden track, and what is even more commendable is that this hidden track only has 300,000 copies. In other words, only listeners who buy this 1/300,000 copy will be lucky enough to hear this hidden track.

After the news was confirmed, the entire market was fried in an instant. The 300,000 copies became a limited edition overnight, and some people even shouted a whopping $10,000 to try to buy them. An album that's just fifteen dollars is worth $10,000? I've heard that a few deals have been successful, but more fans are reluctant to give up their collector's editions.

Later, with the passage of time, the historical status of the album "Storm" was gradually proven, and the limited edition of 300,000 copies became more and more popular, even if the so-called hidden tracks were later revealed, but it still did not prevent the album from becoming hot in the collector's market. In 2015, a "Storm" collector's edition was submitted to the auction column at an auction that sparked a rabid of fans and collectors to complete the sale for $250,000, shocking the market.

Although it is impossible to predict what will happen 20 years from now, the "Los Angeles Times" David's music review has sparked a heated discussion, and everyone has focused on the album "Storm".

"Needless to say, this album is definitely the best album of Glory to Death to date, and one of my favorites, and I was conquered by this album from the first second I heard the melody. 10 out of 10, which is never a score given by a light yì, and I haven't given this score to any album so far. But this time, I'm going to make an exception. ”

David gave "Storm" a score of 10 out of 10, which can be said to be a perfect album. As for David's point of view, the first batch of music critics who came out first actually expressed their approval.

After "Almost Famous" and "Bathing in the Morning Light", "Storm" once again won full acclaim, and the rock band's three-episode bottleneck, Glory to Death, easily broke through with their heads held high, and what about the other two competitors in the ultimate showdown? Music critics are also sharpening their knives and waiting to express their opinions, looking for their own sense of existence in this ultimate showdown
