Grizzly Bear – Veckatimest

Grizzly Bear –《Veckatimest》

很难说《Veckatimest》给人印象最深的是什么。是Grizzly Bear在这张专辑里展示的志向抱负吗？确实，Grizzly Bear在这张专辑里的雄心壮志可以用“无限”来形容，但是这种无限的抱负又无法掩盖专辑中歌曲的出色。Grizzly Bear这支乐队在他们的上张专辑《Horn of Plenty to Yellow House》中已经表现了让人印象深刻的进步，这次他们对自己思想的控制更加自如。Grizzly Bear肯定很享受挑战他们自己的感觉，因为《Veckatimest》做到了《Horn of Plenty to Yellow House》所做到的一切，而且还更出色。（allmusic 4 星）

Mandy Moore – Amanda Leigh

Mandy Moore –《Amanda Leigh》

“Amanda Leigh”就是Mandy Moore的真名，所以这张新专辑的标题就很好理解了。Mandy Moore的第六张专辑，不需要她太多的自白，仅仅通过专辑的内容就可以看出当年的流行小明星已经在努力向歌手兼创作人方向努力了。这张新专辑《Amanda Leigh》延续了Mandy Moore上张专辑《Wild Hope》的形式和感觉，毕竟那张《Wild Hope》可以看作一张非常出色的转型之作，当然《Amanda Leigh》也不会完全就是简单无味地复制《Wild Hope》的框架，而是通过与一些优秀唱作人的合作来提升专辑的基甸。曾经为电影《Walk Hard（永不止步)》和《That Thing You Do（挡不住的奇迹）》创作电影原声的Mike Viola就参与了这张专辑的制作。（allmusic 3 星半）

Phoenix – Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

Phoenix –《Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix》

Cassius乐队成员之一，为Phoenix的《United》做过混音的歌手兼制作人Philippe Zdar重新开始了与Phoenix的合作。Phoenix的第二张专辑和第三张专辑都带着一些极端化的特征——《Alphabetical》的风格是无趣和偶尔的冷漠，《It’s Never Been Like That》则是参差不齐的曲风以及不完善的旋律。这次Phoenix终于开始调整他们的曲风了，《Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix》里包括了很多直接欢快的歌曲，开篇的两首歌曲：”Lisztomania” 和带着电子嗡嗡声的”1901″感觉太过于出色，以至于可能会让专辑剩下的歌曲被人忽略。(allmusic 4 星，编辑选择）
