Sometimes You Can'T Make It On Your Own

Sometimes You Can'T Make It On Your Own

正如此前許多新聞報道中透露出來的一樣,U2這張專輯的確回復了80年代時的輝煌。《How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb》這個標題是非常適合U2一貫留給人的社會責任感的,儘管有報道Bono澄清了這張專輯“Bomb”是為了已故老父名字的諧音,不含有特別的政治意味,但是他帶給歌迷的第一印象卻是那樣。主要由the Edge初創的這張專輯里隨處可見的朋克,Bono的加工又經常讓作品在小的段落上有些許迷幻,這樣的音樂配以Bono獨特的演唱,誕生出了11首精彩無瑕疵的歌曲,組合到了一塊就成為了10年來U2最出色的一張專輯,之所以這麼說是因為自從90年代初《Achtung Baby》《Zooropa》之後,U2就沒有造出像90年代之前那樣能夠讓絕大多數歌迷滿意的專輯,所以《All That You Can't Leave Behind》拿格萊美的時候就連很多U2歌迷都覺得意外。關於這張唱片,知道這張專輯的封面和裡邊的圖片為什麼效果這麼牛B么?因為這還是世界著名攝影師Anton Corbijn拍攝的,他曾經為U2最經典專輯《The Joshua Tree》拍攝,這個荷蘭大個子是僅有的幾個能夠通過鏡頭來解讀搖滾樂的人,如果不了解這一點,那麼請找來Nirvana樂隊經典《Heart-shaped box》的MV來接受教育。
