期待已久,John Mayer終於推出新專輯《Born and Raised》,小弟當然走去買啦!!!
原本諗住原汁原味,揾隻美版買,点知無貨,唯有訂啦,但又忍唔住手買咗隻歐版頂住癮先.
之前都知John Mayer大玩Folk rock,稍稍放棄佢強項blues,情況似黃耀明隻《King of the road》差不多.
John Mayer玩Folk rock之前都有,但今次比重漸更多,而且感覺更鄕村!
當我聽完一次這新碟,第一個疑問係這是John Mayer???我好似聽緊一個技巧強D的Jack Johnson喎!!!
可能他前作《Continuum》威力太強,我想信他也深明這事,難再有突破,於是轉轉型玩下country
不過這風格有点浪費John Mayer佢嗰手結他,因為大部分編曲較簡單或平淡,完全無咗以前那種多變和玩味.
其實John Mayer的《Stop This Train》、《Daughters》都係偏少少Folk,但你可以聽到佢D指法係花了不少心機.
不過新碟只偶有幾首會發揮到其功力,但其餘都幾淡然………
而且旋律吸引性幾低,聽完一次無衝動聽多一次.
總總而言,《Born and Raised》失望成分較多,可能我對他要求過高吧!!!亦可肯定放棄購入六月出的日版了!!!
順帶一提,我隻歐版d聲不是太好,有幾多位無咩層次,我諗港版更不堪入耳,期待美版會好些.
