AM专辑介绍 刚刚发行就入围2013年水星奖,恭喜!详细名单点击:2013年水星奖短名单
(By 虾米)不到十年时间,北极猴子(Arctic Monkeys)已从当年的不羁青年团成长为一队各大音乐节压轴的英伦顶级卡司。然而抛开他们的人气,抛开他们的愤青印象,他们在音乐上低调扎实的耕耘也让他们的每张作品都有让人津津乐道之处的鲜明特点。这张《AM》是他们的第五张录音室专辑,相比之前每张相比之前的鲜明改良有过之而无不及。他们这次找来的所有帮手都是美国音乐人,所以这张作品可以说是一队英国团捣鼓出的美式专辑。专辑名就暗示他们的抱负,灵感来源于地下丝绒(Velvet Underground)1985年的合辑名《VU》,不仅仅于此,"Mad Sounds"这首无疑是拥有了Velvet Underground神韵的。除此之外的作品则显得更加律动和粗犷许多,其来源主要有两点:一个是美国重型摇滚团体Queens Of The Stone Age主脑Josh Homme的再次加盟(他们之前在2009年的《Humbug》中有过合作),他带有布鲁斯味道的吉他音乐让整张作品显得大气也格外有棱有角;另外一个,他们这次采用的Dr Dre、Outkast式的嘻哈节拍和厚实Groove让人联想到四位伙伴在录音时手舞足蹈的情景,也让《AM》成为一张夜晚狂欢的作品。相比之前的作品,不论是录音还是创意,《AM》显然是Arctic Monkeys更加处心积虑的成果。它保留并集成了他们所有的特点,比如《Humbug 》的美式厚重粗粝感、《Suck It and See》的流行韵律以及早期那些肆意的欢愉。

AM is the fifth studio album by the English indie rock band Arctic Monkeys. It was released on 9 September 2013 in Europe, 6 September 2013 in Australia, and 10 September 2013 in the United States.
The album was promoted by the singles: "R U Mine?", "Do I Wanna Know?", "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" and "One for the Road". It features guest appearances by Josh Homme, Bill Ryder-Jones and Pete Thomas, and was produced by James Ford and co-produced by Ross Orton at Sage & Sound Recording in Los Angeles and Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, California.
The album received widespread critical acclaim and was nominated for the 2013 Mercury Prize for best album.
Commercially, AM has become Arctic Monkeys' most successful album to date, topping the charts in several countries, and reaching the top 10 positions in many more. In the United Kingdom, Arctic Monkeys broke a record with AM, becoming the first independent-label band to debut at number one in the UK with their first five albums.
