In other words, – he’s been coming in from the unique, arresting stance he’d struck on “Trout Mask” to a position closer to the mainstreams of rock. That does not imply criticism. for with albums like “Lick My Decals Off. Baby”, “The Spotlight Kid” and to a lesser extent as far as I’m concerned “Clear Spot”. He brought with him an approach that infused what might have been quite ordinary songs with a quality that twisted them just off course and lifted them far above merely good. The Magic Band too – whatever the notes, they played up to their name. Now comes “Unconditionally Guaranteed”, a giant step along the same road but one that makes you think – at first at least – that perhaps the medium is overtaking the messenger.
这一次他真的有缩减的歌曲基本知识,和一个家伙可能会听到人们说这真的应该让他更多的人——不,很抱歉,因为人们终于开始欣赏Beefheart,但因为Beefheart淡化人们已经接受了。但奇怪的是,我更喜欢它,而不是大多数的“Clear Spot”-“Big Eyed Beans From Venus”,除了老豆子。就歌词而言,这张专辑比以往任何时候都更加直白,很少强调他对双关语和晦涩的词语联想的喜爱。这首歌的曲调更容易预测,编曲和制作理念也是如此,尽管偶尔会出现咆哮和打嗝(我一时想不起来有个很聪明的拼写方式),但Beefheart的演唱风格比以往更有教育意义。从逻辑上看,所有这些都让我倾向于将它存档作为参考,并回头查看更早的唱片,但总体而言,这张专辑确实有一种强迫性的品质:我经常认为,把纪律强加给音乐家,会把他们逼到墙角,他们不得不使用更大的创造力和力量,仅仅是为了打败锁链,而这张专辑中材料的限制似乎确实让参与其中的音乐家获得了很多东西。
一些非常强烈的东西确实透过这张专辑散发出光芒,否则这张专辑将是一张平平无奇的专辑,但这是一些我感觉不到的东西,而不是能够识别的东西。这种感觉是否会传达给我不认识的人,以及它的表面价值特质是否会把他介绍给更广泛的观众,我就更不知道了。你试一试。
