Let The Dominoes Fall专辑介绍
在沉寂了六年之后,Rancid乐队终于完成了乐队的第7张录音棚专辑。目前乐队正为专辑发行后将展开的巡演做积极的准备。 专辑《Let the Dominoes Fall》录制于美国三藩市的乔治-卢卡斯“天行者”录音棚,由Brett Gurewitz(布莱特-古尔维茨)担纲制作,而此人正是音乐厂牌Epithat的创始人,同时还是Bad Religion乐队的吉他手。
Rancid乐队的上一张专辑《Indestructable》发行于2003年,曾获得公告牌第15名的好成绩。值得一提的是,发行这张专辑时Rancid乐队已经转签至华纳兄弟旗下,虽然唱片上没有提到任何关于华纳兄弟的字眼,但许多Rancid乐队的死硬派歌迷对于乐队签约到一家主流公司感到非常不满。如今的新专辑《Let the Dominoes Fall》则标志着Rancid乐队向独立厂牌和独立音乐精神的回归,乐迷们纷纷雀跃欢呼。
Let the Dominoes Fall is the seventh full-length album from punk rock band Rancid, which was released on June 2, 2009 on Hellcat Records. It is the band's third album for the label, which is a subsidiary of producer Brett Gurewitz's Epitaph Records and owned by guitarist Tim Armstrong. This is their first album of new material in nearly six years, following 2003's Indestructible, and their first with drummer Branden Steineckert, who joined the band in 2006 after the departure of founding drummer Brett Reed.
The span of nearly six years between Indestructible and Let the Dominoes Fall was Rancid's longest gap between studio albums in their career. The band had begun working on new material after their temporary hiatus in 2004[2], but showed no signs of a new album until January 2008, when they announced that they had begun recording with producer and Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz.[3] The writing and recording process was finally finished in February 2009.[4]
The album's first single "Last One to Die," was released on April 7, 2009 via the band's Myspace page. As of May 26, 2009 the album can be heard on MySpace entirely
