如何評價King Crimson的專輯《In the Wake of Poseidon》?

最近有點時間,準備多嘗試一些以前不太接觸的風格。King Crimson的首專自然不多說,二專《In the Wake of Poseidon》似乎風評一般?有沒有知乎大拿幫忙解讀下這張專輯


在大神扎堆的知乎KC話題下斗膽回答一下,諸位輕拍~

先解答題主有關此專輯風評的疑問

下面截選兩家口碑不錯的樂評網對於此磚的評分:

http://Allmusic.com

http://progarchives.com (一家專門做前衛搖滾評論的網站,題主有興趣可以去關注一下)

可以看到,此磚在KC第一階段(1969-1974)的作品裡面屬於評價較為兩極分化的一張:Allmusic的樂評人和眾評一致給它打出了4.5星的高分,progarchieves卻無情地給了它第一階段裡面倒數第二低的分數(3.82分)。

這張專輯的問題出在哪?

以下節選自progarchieves的眾評

Understandably after the brilliant In The Court album King Crimson didnt want to stray to far from a successfull formula.So here it a very poor version of the first album.Still you do get Cat Food but overall this is to be avoided unless you really like King Crimson or Greg Lake and want completeness for your collection.

Hmmm....I have mixed feeling about this one. Sometimes it sounds a little to much like their debut, which gives you that "been there, done that" attitide.

After shaking the ground with their debut, Fripp apparently ran out of ideas or was feeling insecure if he and Sinfield could make something better or more different and then this album totally inspired by its predecessor came out. It is good, in fact very good, but it doesnt contain the same magic as Court. What we have here are somel songs that are mirror versions of the past ones and some few new numbers that fail to be too remarkable (Cat Food again? No thanks...).

可以看出,樂迷對此專之詬病多來自其與首專的相似性。比如說第二首曲子Pictures of a City就有很明顯的21st Century Schizoid Man的感覺——兩者皆是大量運用薩克斯風和嚴重失真的電吉他,營造了一種雜亂無章、嘈雜的氛圍。第三首曲子Cadence and Cascade以乾淨的吉他打底,伴以較為輕鬆的人聲旋律,很難不讓人聯想到首專的I Talk to the Wind。至於專輯同名曲,我個人是聽出了In the Court of the Crimson King和Epitaph混搭的感覺~

但這張磚也不是一無是處。Pictures of a City開頭大量運用切分拍,Jazz Fusion的味道非常贊;Cat Food裡面破碎的鋼琴演奏似乎為他們後來的Lizard一磚打了鋪墊;一直穿插的Peace組曲空靈優美,我嚴重懷疑萬青是不是抄了這裡的旋律!

歸根到底,這本身是一張不錯的磚。只可惜珠玉在前,它一直活在ITCOTCK的陰影之下。被首專震撼過的人們再聽就感覺索然無味了~


謝邀,雖然有一些不錯的歌曲,但我個人還是不太喜歡吧,也許是聽的少哈哈
