A Thousand Suns
林肯公园神马的,已经3年没出过砖了。3年不出砖的话,就显得这张砖对于等待3年的人们来说无比重要。从上一张MTM开始,LP就开始转型,风格开始不同第一第二张了。同时砖里也会有个鲜明的主题,像MTM应该是反战主题,这一张ATS则是关于核武器什么的。感觉LP慢慢变成Green Day了- -。而且LP的风格也逐渐偏向流行电子,摇滚元素越来越少了。对于这个我觉得没所谓,反正好听就是了。
ATS算不算一张好听的砖?其实ATS应该是一首歌,整张砖完全是连贯的,每一首歌几乎都不能独立存在,中间作为连接的歌曲多达6首。这张砖不像一个专辑,而像一个电影。

1.The Requiem 安魂曲
一小段前奏后,听到一段柔和的女声,这是The Cataylst里的歌词:
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our father
The sins of our young
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our father
The sins of our young
呃。。其实这个声音不是女的,是Mike唱的混音,听起来很著姐吧。
2.The Radiance 辐射
在气氛紧张的背景音乐下,无缝转接到第二首,这首还不是歌,是一段讲话。这张砖里有三段政治人物的讲话。
We knew the world would not be the same.
我们知道世界是会改变的
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
有人笑 有人哭 大多数人沉默
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita
我记得印度的圣经中有一行字 the Bhagavad-Gita
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
Vishnu 试图说服王子尽自己该进的责任
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
给他印象深刻的是他的胳膊(啥意思) 对他说
laquo;Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds»
现在我成为死神了 世界的破坏者.
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
我想我们的想法都差不多 这种或者另一种
说这话的人是:
Father of Atomic Bomb, Oppenheimer after witnessing the first explosion of an atomic bomb in the New Mexico desert, the Trinity Project.
3.Burning In The Skies 点燃天空 评分:★★★★
这首歌风格非常流行和电子,连Mike和Chester的声音都是略有回音一般很电子的……Chester不带吼。虽然整首歌很电子,但后面有一段bass的伴奏,很惊艳。
另外LP貌似很喜欢“升起的海洋”这个意象?The Catalyst里面Where oceans bleed into the sky,Hand Helds High里的 the ocean opens up to swallow you
I used the dead woods to make the fire rise
我点燃枯木,火焰升起
The blood of innocents burning the skies
无辜者的血点燃天空
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
我用升起的海洋填满我的杯子
And pour it out into an ocean of debris

但最后我们被迫分开
In separate chambers of the human heart
在人类的心脏中(这句好别扭)
I’m swimming in the smoke
我在迷雾中挣扎
Of bridges I have burned
我点燃桥梁
So don’t apologize
所以别道歉
I’m losing what I don’t deserve
我失去的只是我不配的得到的

我失去的只是我不配得到的
I used the dead woods to make the fire rise
我点燃枯木,火焰升起
The blood of innocents burning the skies
无辜者的血点燃天空
4.Empty Spaces 空旷空间
又一首过渡的歌曲
5.When They Come For Me 当他们为我而来 ★★☆
这首歌的伴奏长达1分钟,第一次听以为是一首纯音乐……这首歌不是电子元素,而是…非洲元素。歌中充满了手鼓声,加上Mike的说唱,非常有非洲风味。整大段都是Mike的说唱,最后突然出现Chester的声音:When they come for me,come for me,i’ll gone…,像幽灵一般0_0,我只能这样形容。最后音乐静下,似乎将要结束,但最后一段突然又迸发起来。
另外这两张专辑里Mike的说唱里都有脏话,像Eminem那样fu*k,motherfu*k*r满天飞。其实脏话是最文明的表达愤怒的方式。
I am not a pattern to be followed
我不应遵循这种模式
The pill that i’m on is a tough one to swallow
吞下那药片很难
I’m not a criminal, not a role model
我不是罪犯 也不是模范

我并不是诗人 名人 和 有钱人
Telling you to forfeit the game

I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
我就像只拴着链子的狗
And you found out that the underbelly is sicker than it seems

看你来很丑陋 但它还会日益恶化
’cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
因为蓝图不只是礼物还是诅咒
’cause what you got a theory about how the thing works
因为你得到了这东西工作的原理
Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first
每个人都想下一次就跟第一次一样

6.Robot Boy 机械男孩 ★★★★
这张专辑里我觉得最好听的歌曲之一。Chester以第二人称转述唱这首歌。虽然整首歌里充满You say..Hold on..,但我觉得平淡里充满了力量。后面一段戴上耳机的话,可以听到背景里Chester从左到右的吼声。以吼声伴奏着平淡的转述般的声音,非常震撼。

Will give you the strength to go
将会给你离开的力量
7.Jornada Del Muerto
过渡歌曲,Mike反复地在说着两个日文词。
持ち上げて (mochiagete),
解放して (tokihanashite)
8.Waiting For The End★★★★☆
这张砖里比较好听的歌之一。上一首歌临近尾声时,出现了一阵bass的声音,就是这首歌的一段前奏。伴奏依然以电子为主。Chester唱的灰常温柔软弱,和Leave Out All The Rest、Give Me Your Name里一样……Chester果然是能屈能伸的好男子,能高音吼也能唱温柔腔-.-
This is not the end / this is not the beginning
这不是结局 这不是开始
Just a voice like a riot rocking every remission
只有狂欢的声音摇动着每次宽恕
Once you listen to the tone in a violent rhythm

Say yeah

执着的追求着我没得到的
Holding on to what I haven’t got
执着的追求着我没得到的
9.Blackout 突然发晕 ★★★★
听了前面几首,老LP迷狂草:靠,Chester怎么总是不吼!真相是,Chester从这首歌开始吼。一开始的歌词唱的很快,有些评论干脆说Chester在说唱- -,其实在Forgotten里Chester也这么唱过。后面有一段Chester吼声的疯狂混音。最后出现Mike的低唱,歌曲似乎进入了第二部分。
I’m stuck in this bed you made
我在你的床上麻木
All low with the sinking feeling
感慨 沉思
I suffer to the words you said
被你说过的话煎熬着
To the secrets you’ve been keeping

No remorse from the trust you’re breaking
没有恨你正在击碎的信心.
You run to the back, you fall
10.Wrectches&Kings 混蛋与皇帝 ★★★
就如我之前所说,这首歌歌词真的很不和谐,所以天朝一定不敢引进此专辑。这首歌就不是电子元素了。
一开始是一段演讲:
There’s a time, when the operation of the machine becomes so odious.
Makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part, you can’t even passively take part.
And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers,
upon all the apparatus. And you’ve got to make it stop!
And you’ve got to indicate to the people, run in to the people on it.
And unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from workïng at all!
Mike:
To save face, how low can you go?
为了挽回颜面,你能做到何般低贱
Talk a lotta game, but yet you don’t know.
纸上谈兵多年,仍不知其中玄妙
Static on the wind, makes us all say whoa!
逆风而行,纹丝不动,众人皆呜呼哀哉
The people up top push the people down low.
上层尽是压迫我辈草民之人
Get down, and obey every word.
我等只能逆来顺受,忍气吞声
Steady, get in line if you haven’t yet heard.
站稳,如果仍未闻其声,请排成一排
Wanna take what I got, don’t be absurd.
想得到我拥有的吗?简直是痴人说梦
Don’t fight the power, nobody gets hurt.
不要试图反抗当权之人,大家好才是真的好
If you haven’t heard yet, then I’m lettin’ you know
如果你还未知晓,我就让你知道
There ain’t ** we don’t run when the guns unload
枪未上膛,一切都是白扯
And no one make a move, unless my people say so
在广大人民言语之前,没人会采取行动
Got everything outta control, now everybody go
天下大乱,人走房空
Band:
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Chester:
Feel alone, final blow
感到寂寞,最终失败
We, the animals, take control
我等粗人最终统治天下
Hear us now, clear and sure
你给我听清楚
Wretches and Kings, we come for you
村中草民,皇亲国戚,我们为你们而来
Mike:
So keep face, how slow can you go?
Talk a lotta **, and yet you don’t know.
Fire on the wind, makes you all say whoa!
欲火于风中,众人皆呜呼哀哉
The people up top and the people down low.
Get down, and I’m runnin’ it like that.
笑而不语,我如此般运筹帷幄
The front of the attack is exactly where I’m at.
Somewhere in between the kick and the hi-hat
The pen and the contract, the pitch and the contact
战火纷飞,阴谋密布的前线总能看到我的出现
So get with the combat, I’m lettin’ them know
伴随着战争,我将让你们知道
There ain’t ** you can say to make me back down, no.
没有什么东西能让我退却,不!绝不!
So push the button, let the whole thing blow.
按下按钮,让所有事物都化为灰烬
Spinning everything outta control, now everybody go.
天下大乱,人走房空
Band:
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Chester:
Feel alone, final blow
We, the animals, take control
Hear us now, clear and sure
Wretches and Kings, we come for you
Still alone, fight our blow
仍旧孤单,为灾祸而抗争
Filthy animals beat down low
污秽的动物最终狠狠击败你们
Steel and bone, black and blue
钢筋,铁骨,遍体鳞伤
No more the sunshine, We done for you
再也没有阳光,为了你,我们完蛋了!
Mike:
From the front to the back and to side to side
从头至尾,自始至终
If you feel what I feel, put’em up real high
如果你感同身受,请将它们高高举起
11.Wisdom, Justice, And Love
过渡曲,纯演讲。最后不断重复Wisdom, Justice, And Love
I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight
我今夜来到这宏伟的房子中膜拜
because my conscience leaves me no other choice.
因为我的良心让我别无选择
A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war:
真正的革命家会维持世界的秩序并这么描述战争:
laquo;This way of settling differences is not just».
解决分歧的方法并不只是
This business of burning human beings with napalm,
这种战火中和汽油弹在一起的人民
filling our nation’s homes with orphans and widows,
我们国家的家庭中只有孤儿和寡妇
of injecting poisonous drugs of hate
将仇恨一样的毒药
into the veins of people normally humane,
注入常人的静脉
sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and
将生理有缺陷(受伤的?)的人从黑暗和血腥的战场中送回家
psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.
生理上的困扰 不能与 智慧 正义和爱相提并论。
12.Iridescent ★★☆
歌曲情感非常积极向上,整张专辑的情感似乎在这里从愤怒转向积极向上……这首歌按理说应该是作为最后一首的
You were standing in the wake of devastation
你站在毁灭的航迹中
And you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
你站在未知的边缘上
And with the the cataclysm raining down
灾难之雨降下
Your inside’s crying ‘save me now’
你的内心哭喊着 救救我吧
You were there impossibly alone
你不可能独自一人
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
你感到寒冷吗?在绝望中迷失吗
You build up hope of failures all you’ve known
你知道你在失败中保持希望
Remember all the sadness and frustration
请记住所有的悲伤和沮丧
And let it go
去他的吧
And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
阵阵光芒使天使盲目(瞎了狗眼?)
As if the sky had blown all the heavens into stars
天空使天堂融入到星空
You felt the gravity of temper grace falling into empty space
你觉得无名的怨气怒气沉入虚无
No one there to catch you in their arms
没有人拥抱你。。
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
你感到寒冷吗?在绝望中迷失吗?
You build up hope of failures all you’ve known
你知道你在失败中保持希望
Remember all the sadness and frustration
请记住所有的悲伤和沮丧
And let it go
去他的吧
13.Fallout
过渡曲,唱的是Burning In The Skies的歌词。前一首歌上进的情感基调又改成阴森……
I’m swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don’t apologize
I’m losing what I don’t deserve
The blame is mine alone
The bridges I have burned
So don’t apologize
I’m losing what I don’t deserve
What I don’t deserve
14.The Catalyst 催化剂 ★★★☆
接下来这首就是之前已经公布的催化剂。这首歌虽然不算特别好听,但是从chester唱到Lift me up..这里的转变的很好,使得这首歌有点跌宕起伏
God bless us every one 上帝为我们每个人祈福
We’re a broken people living under loaded gun 让我们这些拙劣的人们生活在枪口之下
And it can’t be outfought 无法去反抗
It can’t be outdone 无法去战胜
It can’t be outmatched 无法去竞争
It can’t be outrun 无法去逃脱
No… 不…
And when I close my eyes tonight 当今晚我闭上眼睛时
To symphonies of blinding light 那如同交响般罪恶的光
(God bless us every one / we’re a broken people living under loaded gun
上帝为我们每个人祈福/让我们这些拙劣的人们生活在枪口之下)
Oh / like memories in cold decay 哦,像是记忆在冷酷的腐朽著
Transmissions echoing away 重复传达开来
Far from the world of you and I 让远离这个世界的你我,
Where oceans bleed into the sky 与海洋的鲜血一同流进天空的某处。
Lift me up, let me go 让我振作,让我走吧!
15.The Messenger 信使 ★★★★
这个专辑以这个标题的歌来结束,似乎有点深意。不插电的LP,纯吉他伴奏,CC吼叫。还算好听的一首歌。”When life leaves us blind,love keeps us kind”这句歌词写得挺好的。
When you feel you’re alone
当你觉得孤独的时候
Cut off from this cruel world
和整个世界断绝了联系
Your instincts telling you to run
你的直觉让你逃离
Listen to your heart
听听你的心声吧
Those angel faces
那天使的面孔
They’ll see you to you
他们会看到你
They’ll be your guide
他们会指导你
Back home where life leaves us blind
回家吧 回到那个生命让我们盲目的地方
Love keeps us kind
爱让我们善良的地方
It keeps us kind
它使我们保持善良
When you suffered it all
当你承受这一切
And your spirit is breaking
你的灵魂被击碎
You’re growing desperate from the fight
你在斗争中慢慢绝望
Remember your love
记住你的爱
And you always will be
那是不会改变的
This melody will bring you right back home
这段旋律会带你回家
When life leaves us blind
当生命使我们盲目的时候
Love keeps us kind
爱让我们保持善良
最后就以CC的Oh Oh的和声结束了整张专辑。这张专辑整体来说有高有低,风格还是挺大气的。虽然分出来的单曲其实不算好听,但是它们都是为整个专辑奠定基调而已。总的来说,LP这个三年磨的剑还算及格。
We absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your post’s to be precisely what I’m looking for. Do you offer guest writers to write content for you? I wouldn’t mind creating a post or elaborating on many of the subjects you write concerning here. Again, awesome web site!
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Keep on updating your site! You have so much available and interesting information! I didn?t even notice how the day passed while reading it! Have a great time! Thank you!
