专辑介绍
by Jo-Ann Greene
Old and new combine on this sumptuous EP from synthi-gloom heroes The Birthday Massacre. The title track, &Looking Glass&, is pulled from the band's Walking with Strangers album, a darkly lush, dance pop delight. Three other tracks from that set are also featured here, but all in remixed form. The driving dance of the gothy &Falling Down& now swirls about in a far more spacy and doomier realm, while the muscular goth pop of &Weekend& is reinvented as a Depeche Mode-y extravaganza. In contrast, the Depeche-esque &Red Star& now undergoes two transformations - initially into an airy, clubby delight, and then remodeled into lavish, electronica fare. That's the old, the new comes in the shape of &Shiver& and &Nowhere&, the former a steamy, gloom-pop number powered by irrepressible beats. Its lyrical theme of a girl trapped in a cold, cruel world is recreated in the latter piece, a frigid instrumental wasteland swept by swirls of synths. And finally, there's the old made new, as the Birthday gang frolic darkly through the past, with a rollicking cover of Tommy James & the Shondells '60s hit &I Think We're Alone Now&...although it's probably mall rat supremo Tiffany's version they're intent on interring for good. A video of this number is also included. Something grand to keep fans going through the dark nights until the band's next album arrives.

- @本号无限期停用(我以前怎么那么多废话？)：写在I Think We're Alone Now:虽然已经拿出kindle准备搬砖，听到这首歌还是忍不住推一发，电子乐部分嘈杂却厚重万分压得住场，再点缀以明亮的色彩，演唱部分旋律积极向上，和沉重的伴奏形成强烈对比和反差，有一条声部采用了舞曲常用节奏，人声的处理有复古感，虽然已经不适合我这个年纪的人了，还是推荐给高中生们听听吧 浴室舞王 (这个人很懒，什么都没有留...) 2016-06-19 02:04 嗯我从初二听到今年高一 来自android客户端
