Daughtry 意料中的魅力

專輯-遠走高飛 (Leave This Town)



專輯介紹
誰說歌唱比賽最後榮耀一定是被前三名瓜分,完全逆轉勝的以第四名姿態獵殺所有目光焦點,成為美國最具話題影響力的American Idol歌唱比賽歷經八屆以來,第一位以樂團方式闖蕩歌壇的參賽者、第一位雙霸告示牌流行+搖滾榜冠軍的選手。Daughtry僅靠同名處女秀,登記史上最快銷售首發搖滾專輯,寫下全球超越五白萬張的銷售門檻,拿下四座全美音樂+六座Billboard+兩座世界音樂獎,同時入圍四座葛萊美獎肯定。

擁有媲美Matchbox Twenty之Rob Thomas、Nickelback之Chad Kroeger、3 Doors Down之Brad Arnold等主唱堅強演唱實力和充沛美式搖滾爆發力的Chris Daughtry,雖然在05年參選澳洲搖滾隊伍INXS主唱徵選落敗,卻藉由06年的AI找到另一舞台,更婉拒百萬銷售名團Fuel擔任新主唱的邀約,找來鼓手Joey Barnes、雙吉他手Jeremy Brady與Josh Steely、曾誰說歌唱比賽最後榮耀一定是被前三名瓜分,完全逆轉勝的以第四名姿態獵殺所有目光焦點,成為美國最具話題影響力的 American Idol 歌唱比賽歷經八屆以來,第一位以樂團方式闖蕩歌壇的參賽者、第一位雙霸告示牌流行+搖滾榜冠軍的選手。Daughtry 僅靠同名處女秀,登記史上最快銷售首發搖滾專輯,寫下全球超越五白萬張的銷售門檻,拿下四座全美音樂+六座 Billboard+兩座世界音樂獎,同時入圍四座葛萊美獎肯定。

擁有媲美 Matchbox Twenty 之 Rob Thomas、Nickelback 之 Chad Kroeger、3 Doors Down之Brad Arnold 等主唱堅強演唱實力和充沛美式搖滾爆發力的 Chris Daughtry,雖然在 05 年參選澳洲搖滾隊伍 INXS 主唱徵選落敗,卻藉由 06 年的 AI 找到另一舞台,更婉拒百萬銷售名團 Fuel 擔任新主唱的邀約,找來鼓手 Joey Barnes、雙吉他手 Jeremy Brady 與 Josh Steely、曾任硬蕊龐克/金屬團 Suicidal Tendencies 的貝斯手 Josh Paul 等各路英雄組建起 Daughtry。首張作品『Daughtry』發燒熱賣長達兩年之久,接連狂掃排行各榜七首 Top30 暢銷金曲,拿下快紅新世代搖滾天團寶座。

Jeremy 離團換上 Brian Craddock 入替節奏吉他手一職,齊力推出第二張大碟『Leave This Town』,再度邀請兩座葛萊美加冕的製作大師 Howard Benson(Kelly Clarkson、Papa Roach、P.O.D.) 操盤掌舵。開場直接爆衝出火燙搖滾氣焰的「You Don't Belong」,Chris 裝滿憤怒的情緒瞬間點燃;第一波主打「No Surprise」,架構在標準的 Post-Grunge 曲式裡頭,邀來 Nickelback 的 Chad Kroeger+The Click Five 的 Eric Dill 聯手撰寫,快速攀上流行榜 Top15+成人抒情榜 Top14 席次;雖然載著重力加速度氣流的「Every Time You Turn Around」、「What I Meant To Say」,仍不失旋律性的提供琅琅上口之流暢音階;迷人的吉他搖滾抒情小品「Life After You」、「Open Up Your Eyes」,組合出所有討喜的成分,增添更易咀嚼的動人音符;層次感鮮明且張力極強的「Supernatural」,爽朗吉他與飽和鼓點,皆綻放無比的活力能量;意外發現進入鄉村音樂名人殿堂巨星 Vince Gill 聲影的「Tennessee Line」,散發陣陣鄉村民謠的清新味覺。Daughtry 火力全開的二度出擊,將多面向角度的力量合而為一,匯聚出更大聲也更狂野的搖滾撼動力!

   
這專輯中有我最愛的一首,也是我踏入Daughtry領域所聆聽的第一首歌
名叫 No Surprise 




歌詞:

I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why...


It's NO SURPRISE I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE


It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why


It's NO SURPRISE I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God know we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE


Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no, as NO SURPRISE


If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why


It's NO SURPRISE I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE


Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was NO SURPRISE
