专辑介绍
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Life in Slow Motion is an appropriate name for David Gray's sixth album, since this languid, deliberate album crawls out of the speakers at a speed that suggests everything is stuck in molasses. Not that this is a bad place for Gray to be, or that it is even a big change of pace for him. As the years passed, he's trimmed away the faster tempos from his music, leaving behind an even-keeled, meditative, soft reflective folk-pop that brought him a hit in 2000 with &Babylon& from his fourth album, White Ladder. Life in Slow Motion isn't too far removed from that album, although it does lack the then-fashionable vague electronica underpinnings of that album. In its place is a mildly lush but not elaborate production that's tasteful and classy, even if it never quite grabs the listener's attention. That's true of Gray's songwriting here in general -- it's well mannered and well intentioned, but falls short of being distinctive. If Gray didn't have a slight rasp to his voice, this music would simply wash over you, since it's a calm, clean album ideal for either background music at work or late-night introspection. Thankfully, he does have a bit of grit in his voice -- enough to ground the music, if not enough to make it compelling. To a certain extent, that's been true of all of his albums, but Life in Slow Motion is especially low-key and quiet, requiring close listening to catch the subtleties in either the lyrics or the music. That means it's a rewarding listen for the faithful who have the time, patience, and inclination to dig into this, but for those whose dedication isn't so strong, this is sweet, gentle, and ultimately forgettable.

- @chinesekid：他的声音有股天然的哭腔。。。。
- @贱兔是骚猫他媳妇(大奶兔白糖 塑料厂病娇)：from here you can almost see the sea.在电影the hitcher里，杀人狂追杀男女主角的间隙 短暂的宁静，在new mexico的荒原上 男女主角绝望地走着 背景音乐是这首。。。很应景 很虐心。
- @哈利哈利逗号妹：[雪][雪][雪][雪][雪][雪][雪][雪][雪][雪]亲爱的，末日后见~

- @maria arredo(高强度学习一周，希望有效...)：好听
- @音樂達哥：愛！！！
- @未知生物(暂无签名~)：最近出专辑挺勤快的，唯一入手的打口 有纪念意义
- @imuf2：Okay, 现在我听到第二首歌了，明白这整张专辑都是那张叫做White Ladder的专辑。Life in Slow Motion 完全是另一张。大家给它投票，喜欢它，实际上都给了White Ladder。 哈里妈的波特 2010-11-26 16:55 我有买这张专辑的3块钱的盗版....确实 xiami错的 惨无人道。《life in slow motion》也是经典惬意啊。《hospital food》我当年听的我迷啊，反复倒回去听，到最后我的废柴CD都快给我搞报废了。
- @imuf2：我有这张专辑的正版cd，所以知道xiami放在这里的这张里的Alibi是错的，当大家听Alibi这首时，实际听的是David Gray的White Ladder里的Please Forgive Me。
