1996 Roxette┊Baladas En Espanol
专辑评论
Review by Jason Damas
In the five years between Roxette's last album, Crash, Boom, Bang, and this, their "comeback" album, pop music had changed considerably. Crash, Boom, Bang failed, in part, because it was completely out of step with the times; in 1994 grunge, alternative, and rap ruled the charts, but Roxette always produced a relatively crisp and clean brand of pop/rock. In the five years since then, however, Brit-pop brought alternative rock back towards pop, electronica made dance music "cool" again, and bubblegum pop bands like the Spice Girls made unabashed pop fun again. Also, Per Gessle was fresh off from his very rock-oriented 1997 solo album. What resulted, then, was really rather ambitious. Have A Nice Day is an effort to encapsulate Roxette's trademark sound with Brit-pop and electronica, and, by gosh, it works. It's easily as good as any other Roxette album, save maybe only the stellar Joyride, and it shows that artistically the band is still on top. There's a good deal of emphasis on dance music here, but instead of the indistinguishable dance-pop of the band's early days, the beats seem to be borrowed straight from Fatboy Slim records. That, mixed with Gessle's gritty guitars, makes for a good deal of up-tempo rockers ("Crush on You," "7Twenty7," "Stars"). There are also some excellent pop songs, such as the single "Wish I Could Fly" and Gessle's unforgettable "You Can't Put Your Arms Around What's Already Gone," quite possibly the best song he's ever written. As is the case with any Roxette album, however, there are flaws, namely the presence of filler,

Roxette's Ballad Hits demonstrates what it is that's made their band successful. It's a simple formula, but it works every time. After a quiet, exquisitely maudlin verse, Marie Fredriksson unleashes that shockingly big voice, the drums crash, huge guitars and keyboards attack and Roxette burst into another ludicrously memorable chorus. No one can match their jubilant revelling in the torment of love. From 1989 to 1991, they dominated the US charts with a string of super-dramatic hits. "Listen to Your Heart", "It Must Have Been Love", "Fading like a Flower", classics all, and they're all here, along with much else. For Roxette, ballads don't always follow the duo's own comic dictum--"Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus". "Queen of Rain", with its moving oboe breaks, takes time to grow, as does the string-laden "Crash! Boom! Bang!" And it's not all great, either. "You Don't Understand Me", cowritten with hit-maker Desmond Child, is a weak song only just rescued by Fredriksson, while "Salvation" sounds like a Robbie Williams-style collage of other people's work. Fortunately, the two new tracks, "A Thing About You" (sung by songwriter Per Gessle) and "Breathe" are sweet and strong enough to repair the damage. Thus, despite the enormous power of those early smashes, the surprisingly varied Ballad Hits is consistently brilliant throughout. --Dominic Wills
Ballad Hits可以说是Roxette这支成功的乐队的代表作。辛勤的工作是他们成功的唯一途径。在沉默了一段时间之后，Marie Fredriksson又开始释放出那恐怖的声响，暴烈的鼓点，广阔的吉他，及具攻击性的键盘；等等的这些让Roxette爆发出了一种滑稽的，但又令人难忘的合声！他们在爱情的折磨中的狂欢无人能及。从1989年到1991年，他们在美国的事业有了一联串极富戏剧性的变化。“Listen to Your Heart”，“It Must Have Been Love”，“Fading like a Flower”这些经典的杰作也纷纷被收录进来！对Roxette来说，情歌并不总是以重唱的方式来表达的，就象是“Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus”。“Queen of Rain”那走走停停的双簧管的演奏和“Crash! Boom! Bang!”的弦乐的演奏都象是能把时间带走一样。当然，也不能说全是好歌。与冠军制造者Desmond Child共同创作的“You Don’t Understand Me”是唯一不怎么理想的歌曲，却被Fredriksson给拯救了过来；而“Salvation”这首歌却又感觉象是Robbie Williams风格的拼凑起来的作品。幸好，两首超强新曲“"A Thing About You”（由创作型歌手Gessle演唱）和“Breathe”的甜美及时弥补上了这些缺点。带给人无数惊喜的Ballad Hits的出现，一定是你所期待已久的！
