1996 Roxette┊Baladas en espanol

Review/专辑评论

1996年——Roxette在这一年的前半段进入休整,没有任何活动。而Per倒为Gyllene Tider乐队写了4首瑞典语歌曲并推出EP。Gyllene Tider的重组成为该年瑞典乐坛的热点,乐队推出了精选碟、举行了全国巡演、占领了排行榜、捧走了多个奖项。到了年底,Gyllene Tider功成名就,退出乐坛。另一边,Marie也没闲着,她推出了第5张个人大碟,并生下第二个孩子。该年秋季,又推出一张西班牙语唱片“Baladas En Espanol”, 在西班牙、阿根廷、智利、墨西哥等国家受到欢迎。

Tracklist/曲目列表 1. Un dia sin ti (Spending my time) 2. Crash! Boom! Bang! (Crash! Boom! Bang!) 3. Directamente a ti (Run to you) 4. No se si es amor (It must have been love) 5. Cuanto lo siento (I'm sorry) 6. Timida (Vulnerable) 7. Habla el corazon (Listen to your heart) 8. Como la lluvia en el cristal (Watercolours in the rain) 9. Soy una mujer (Fading like a flower (every time you leave) 10. Quiero ser como tu (I don't want to get hurt) 11. Una reina va detras de un rei (Queen of rain) 12. El dia del amor (Perfect day)

1999 Roxette┊Have A Nice Day

Review/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, mostly in the form of pace-destroying ballads. It's a small price to pay, however, for the return of one of the best mainstream pop bands in the past decade. 1998年——1月,Roxette重新上路,乐队飞往西班牙开始第6张大碟的录制。 最终在11月完成。 1999年——大碟首支单曲“Wish I Could Fly”于2月1日推出。之后,大碟“Have A Nice Day”发行。

Tracklist/曲目列表 1. Crush On You 2. Wish I Could Fly 3. You Can't Put Your Arms Around What's Already Gone 4. Waiting For The Rain 5. Anyone 6. It Will Take A long Long Time . 7 Twenty7 8. I Was So Lucky 9. Stars 10. Salvation 11. Pay The Price 12. Cooper 13. Staring At The Ground 14. Beautiful Things

2001 Roxette┊Room Service

Review/专辑评论

“Room Service”专辑延续昔日旧风，依然洋溢着无限激情，火爆的动感节奏与高亢动情的演唱交辉生映，全集开篇以具有与往日不同的电子合成旋律的“The Centre Of The Heart”开始，俨然具有Disco的风韵，一开口完全就是我们的老相识的Roxette，专辑歌曲多为急促快板的Roxette式的摇滚节奏，但也有象“Bring Me Down To My Knees”这样的慢板柔情歌曲，12首歌曲各具千秋，各自表达一种心境…十几年的黄金组合走过了灿烂辉煌的音乐历程，如今更显得老到成熟，音乐制作水准更是不同凡响。

If proof were needed that Roxette are the new ABBA, the lack of critical respect should be enough. Like Abba, Roxette is a masterful pop band (with just the right amount of kitsch in its armor) that routinely gets slagged off for lacking substance, whatever that may be. Room Service showcases a band at the top of its form with its feet firm on the pedal: this album is a case study in songcraft and pop smarts. With its na-na-na choruses and sparkly guitars, Room Service is also trademark Roxette, a mostly no-surprises package that divides its time between the soaring, emotive power ballads and the rife-with-hooks rock-dance stompers that the band pretty much took patents out on back in the '80s and '90s. This is a group that has gotten really good at what it is doing, without getting bored doing it. Result? Probably the best Roxette album since Joyride. Opening tracks "Real Sugar" and "The Centre of the Heart" with their now-rock, now-disco, always-pop attack are effortless up-tempo smashes that deliver an unstoppable one-two sucker punch. On the other hand, "Milk and Toast and Honey" and "Bringing Me Down to My Knees" are big-ticket slow-burners that are as good as adult contemporary gets. "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)" burgles the "Just a little bit" refrain from Aretha Franklin's "Respect" and uses it to spike the sort of lush, half-pensive ballad that Roxette can toss off in its sleep by now. "You Make My Heart Go Pop" is a noisy, overproduced Top-Ten-here-we-come sparkler that'll zoom straight to the trash-magnet center of your brain and stick there for weeks on end. This album also shows a lyrically sharper Roxette, less eager than before to compromise the words for the hooks. Sure, they may occasionally slip into cliché and overt sentimentalism, but they're never less than tuneful. Both Per Gessle and Marie Frederiksson are in fine vocal form, especially Marie, who's equally proficient whether she's doing elegiac laments or burning the house down. Room Service is an exciting, immediate, high-gloss pop gem that contains very little filler indeed. On it Roxette may not be making any great leaps forward, but when you're in such a great place why bother moving?

由于Abba和The Cardigans的合作破裂，Roxette乐队就成了瑞典人在音乐界在二十世纪八十年代唯一的骄傲，在2001年他们带着“Room Service”这张唱片重现乐坛！Marie和Per Gessle的合作可谓是长盛不衰，他们出过的七张唱片其中不乏白金FM摇滚，电子音乐，声乐作品以及美国式的抒情小调。“Room Service”中，虽然hook-laden风格的歌曲有偷懒抄袭前作的嫌疑，但是歌迷对其的爱戴依然不减。象“The Center Of The Heart”“Jefferson”这样的好歌，象“Milk And Toast And Hone”和“Little Girl” 这种Hollywood式柔情的民谣，能多听几遍又有什么不好的呢？

2001 Roxette┊The Ballad Hits

Review/专辑评论 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！By: Dominic Wills T by: effqc
