Nimrod专辑介绍
1997年10月,乐队的这张新专辑《Nimrod》,虽然减少了一些流行朋克的成分,但是快速,迷人的旋律仍然是他们音乐的核心。《Nimrod》专辑中的hitchin‘ A Ride、last Ride In、good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)都是乐迷记忆犹新的佳作。

一开始的hitchin‘ A Ride就证明了green Day多方嚐试的企图,开头的提琴与结尾的吉他,不但鲜绘出幽默的情境,也对比出歌曲主干stray Cat般的复古调式。另一首令人印象深克的作品是演奏曲"last Ride In",受60年代冲浪音乐(Surfing)启蒙的这首歌,搭配上在green Day作品中罕见的大量铜管乐器使使用,雕刻出如007主题曲般丰富戏剧表情,而描写早逝生命的"walking Alone"一曲,更显出乐团团员越趋成熟的布履。

Following the cool reception to Insomniac, Green Day retreated from the spotlight for a year to rest and spend time with their families. During that extended break, they decided to not worry about their supposedly lost street credibility and make an album according to their instincts, which meant more experimentation and less of their trademark punk-pop. Of course, speedy, catchy punk is at the core of the group's sound, so there are plenty of familiar moments on the resultant album, Nimrod, but there are also new details that make the record an invigorating, if occasionally frustrating, listen. Although punk-pop is Green Day's forte, they sound the most alive on Nimrod when they're breaking away from their formula, whether it's the shuffling "Hitchin' a Ride," the bitchy, tongue-in-cheek humor of "The Grouch," the surging surf instrumental "Last Ride In," the punchy, horn-driven drag-queen saga "King for a Day," or the acoustic, string-laced ballad "Good Riddance." It's only when the trio confines itself to three chords that it sounds tired, but Billie Joe has such a gift for hooky, instantly memorable melodies that even these moments are enjoyable, if unremarkable. Still, Nimrod suffers from being simply too much -- although it clocks in at under 50 minutes, the 18 tracks whip by at such a breakneck speed that it leaves you somewhat dazed. With a little editing, Green Day's growth would have been put in sharper relief, and Nimrod would have been the triumphant leap forward it set out to be. As it stands, it's a muddled but intermittently exciting record that is full of promise.
