简介
★ 英国Reading新兴超激电音摇滚乐队,首张备受期待处男创作专辑 ★ Muse、Bloc Party、The Racontuers幕后溷音功臣;与Daft Punk、Justice、Digitalism拼场较劲,催逼溷种美学极致表现 ★ 特殊CD透过电脑与网路连线,可追加下载4首LIVE演出超骇曲目 ☆ DJ Magazine、Q一致★★★★高分讚誉 ★ 听到本张专辑开场歌曲〈Battle Royale〉,多数人都会想到超激进化版的Daft Punk,刚认识Does It Offend You Yeah?(以下简称DIOYY)的乐迷朋友,常常靠着第一印象,将他们归类为另一组赶搭Disco Punk潮流列车的新兴组合。厚重狂躁的电子节拍、时而以机械式扭曲变声效果点缀唱合,时而张狂不羁地忘情嘶喊,为他们塑造出一个血气方刚的突出形象。DIOYY不时被拿来与Justice与Digitalism等电音摇滚溷种乐队相提并论,英国知名音乐媒体NME则拿Muse与!!!来与之类比。若说说他们是一组简单的电音摇滚溷种乐团,那无疑是忽略他们激进的庞克性格,不论是〈With A Heavy Heart (I Regret To Inform You)〉那几近电音重金属的表现,或是〈Attack Of The 60 Ft Lesbian Octopus〉中彷若无政府状态的噪音音牆,肯定都要让传统庞克或是重型摇滚乐迷们瞠目结舌,就连被奉为Disco Punk龙头的LCD Soundsystem都未曾如此亢奋失控过。 ★ 成军于英国Reading的DIOYY,由Morgan Quaintance(主唱/电子合成器/吉他)、James Rushent(贝斯/合音)、Dan Coop(电子合成器)与Rob Bloomfield(鼓手)四名乐手组成。2006年正式成立以来,他们已经分别为 Muse、Bloc Party、The Racontuers等乐队操刀溷音,不过真正让DIOYY声名大噪的,却是他们「不怕摔不怕砸」的现场演出风格,他们不仅在音乐上力行庞克化,也常常不计后果地从舞台上跃向听众,在台上砸烂乐器搞破坏更可以说是家常便饭。至于DIOYY这个怪异团名,根据团员在NME专访中透露,是随便取自于英国版喜剧《The Office》中的一句台词--Does It Offend You Yeah?原来是一组如此无厘头的年轻人。他们的团名虽然让人初闻觉得古怪,却让许多传媒与乐迷留下深刻印象。DIOYY也不负众望地入围角逐DJ Magazine「最佳新进艺人」奖项。 ★ 本张《You Have No Idea What You’re Getting Yourself Into》是DIOYY首张创作专辑,当中总计收录10首作品,虽然大多数乐评将他们的乐风归纳为Disco Punk,但是本张大碟中的歌曲却同时涵盖多种不同曲风:〈We Are Rockstars〉在高压骇人的电子重拍之下,偶尔穿插扭曲的人声;在〈Dawn Of The Dead〉、<Epic Last Song>两首作品中,DIOYY与当今一般英伦乐队相去不远,出奇地悦耳动听;〈Let’s Make Out〉则展现截然不同的嘶哑吼唱,后段竟然又像足了Nine Inch Nails的病态工业之音;〈Being Bad Feels Pretty Good〉依稀透出80年代的歌德影响;〈Weird Science〉让人以为Daft Punk久违之后重出江湖。DIOYY是一群爱玩敢冲又带种的年轻人,疯狂的行径虽然让人不时捏把冷汗,却又不得不承认他们真的超级可爱!本张CD透过电脑与网路认证,可追加下载DIOYY在The FEZ现场演出录音,包含〈Weird Science〉、〈Doomed Now〉、〈Battle Royale〉与〈Let’s Make Out〉4首曲目,乐迷朋友手脚要快! by John Bush Does It Offend You, Yeah? wield their synths like rock stars -- but, for that matter, they wield their guitars and cowbells like rock stars, too. The Reading quartet's debut album, You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into, has no problems synthesizing (so to speak) dance music and rock; of course, it's hardly incompatible for a great dance album to also be a great rock album. Comparisons ranging from !!! to Klaxons to A Flock of Seagulls are all apt, since the group doesn't spend much time forging its own identity before branching out into everything from new wave to synth pop to organ-driven surf rock. The first few tracks could all be show openers, from the squelchy "Battle Royale" to the single "We Are Rockstars," a distorted and, yes, cowbell-laden statement of purpose. From there, things get really interesting, beginning with the above-average synth pop homage "Dawn of the Dead" and the frenetic "Doomed Now," a new wave exercise that builds intensity as its robot vocals go on. "Let's Make Out" manages to be both faithful and prurient, summoning the same disco-punk spirits as !!! at their best (even while the title is shouted continuously throughout each chorus). It's easy to tell why Does It Offend You, Yeah? have earned such praise as a live act from the energy and intensity heard on these recordings (drummer Rob Bloomfield makes a difference, providing everything a good rock band needs). At their peak, they strike the right balance between the mature, assured Simian Mobile Disco or Vitalic and younger upstarts like New Young Pony Club. And despite relying on too many tricks from the Daft Punk playbook, they prove there's more up their sleeve than just vocoders.
