闷骚人之年度十大专辑. 照例, 排名不分前后左右.
Miimi ▌ Ephyra

来自日本的乐团, 在某些程度上可说Miimi是很女性的音乐: 时而狂暴 时而温婉… 情绪化而凌厉的音符直达听者心房.

Kaneda ▌ Monarchs and Heretics

英国的新晋后摇, 每一首曲子都花了极多的时间作铺垫, 感染力强而且具质感的一张专辑.

Mogwai ▌ The Hawk Is Howling

这个封面绝对是今年的烂作之王. 每次看到都会有毛骨悚然的感觉–就当本人有恐鸟症吧, 那如何解释网络上几乎一面倒的劣评? …我总觉得 即使Mogwai的音乐怎么好听 自己总是没办法完全拜倒在他们脚下. 可能就是因为他们身上这种诡异的气息吧. 不过, 总会有人觉得这是魅力的一种…
这张专辑 整体水平的确是很高.

惘闻 ▌ IV

这是惘闻连续第二年进入我的十大, 很高兴能看着他们一年年的进步. 这张IV即和其他"国际"后摇作品来看也算很优秀的. EITS的影子已经越来越淡. 风格内敛, 很东方, 却又不是只是流于表面的"东方".–虽然封面很囧, 和Mogwai那张共同证明了后摇音乐其中一种新发展趋势 – 封面设计和音乐质量成反比…

The American Dollar ▌ A Memory Stream

充满层次感, 细腻的音乐.
和寒冬里的一杯Caramel Macchiato般让人从心底里温暖起来的音色.

This Will Destroy You ▌ This Will Destroy You
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
两年之后 This Will Destroy You的新作依然让人眼前一亮.
既美丽又残酷, 自怜和自毁 可说是一枚硬币的两面. 是吧?

陈珊妮 ▌如果有一件事是重要的 
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
继多年前那张"我从来不是幽默的女生" 之后, 陈珊妮的声音再一次感动了我.
"这时代再好都不适合一个人追寻
这旋律再美都不如爱人一点点共鸣
快乐 不只快乐 然而悲伤 不只悲伤而已
幸运 不是幸运 然而眼泪 不等於一种哭泣"
与其说是音乐的回归 还不如说是对逝去的往日的致意.

Portishead ▌ Third

这次要以这张TripHop三巨头之一重出江湖的作品作压轴才够气势^^.
也有十年了吧, 旧日的Portishead依然在记忆中徘徊不散, 所以第一次听时大部分人都会觉得异常不习惯. 接下来 就无可救药的再次Beth Gibbons嗓音俘虏了.
Machine Gun的开场固然让人惊喜, 然而我最爱的还是The Rip (music video也很有心思)
如果他们的音乐是一种情绪病毒, 我愿一直这样颓下去.
