[唱片点评]
作为本周Billboard 200专辑榜前40名当中唯一一张新上榜的专辑,来自美国密歇根州的EMO/另类金属乐队Chiodos的新专辑《Bone Palace Ballet》引人注目。在上市第一周,这张《Bone Palace Ballet》共售出3万9千张,排在名列Billboard 200专辑榜的本周第五位,是他们组队以来的最好成绩。去年,Chiodos乐队的专辑《All's Well That Ends Well》也曾打进过Billboard 200专辑榜,当时仅以六千张的销量成绩排在第164位。
从音乐风格上来看,Chiodos的这张专辑介于EMO和金属之间。与最近另外两支打进Billboard 200专辑榜前十名的金属乐队Atreyu以及As I Lay Dying相比,Chiodos明显显得更轻,更偏流行化,他们的配器中键盘所占的比重要更大,不像Atreyu和As I Lay Dying那样以金属Riff为基础。碰巧的是,在去年Atreyu乐队的秋季巡演中,一直为他们担任开场嘉宾的正是Chiodos。像Atreyu一样,Chiodos乐队也运用了“双主唱”的配置。主唱嗓子较尖,在部分歌曲中的唱腔略显中性化,但他在高潮处和键盘手一起的咆哮还是能给听众留下一定的印象。Chiodos是一支更偏现场类型的乐队,他们在现场的发挥远比专辑中更出色。
