专辑介绍
by Steve Huey
Encouraged by their continued success as a touring unit, Slaughter reorganized following the tragic death of guitarist Tim Kelly with Back to Reality, which introduces new guitarist Jeff Blando. Regardless, it's still the same old Slaughter, albeit a touch heavier than they were in their hit-making prime -- they're catering to hard rock radio rather than power-ballad-hungry Top 40 programmers (which actually serves them well). Still, it's knowing their audience that's kept Slaughter around this long, and that audience wants straight-ahead, melodic, meat-and-potatoes hard rock. So even if most of the music on Back to Reality will sound somewhat rote and by the numbers to listeners who have no appetite for '80s-style pop-metal in 1999, it simply wouldn't pay for the band to take any chances or alter their sound -- and, actually, as Back to Reality proves, they're still pretty good at it, delivering decent songs and convincing performances demonstrating that they aren't just phoning it in. There's nothing earth-shattering here, but the level of quality is pleasantly surprising, and certainly not that far below their commercial heyday.

- @小羊OR小样?：SLAUGHTER的最后一张录音室专辑,从那以后MARK SLAUGHTER的嗓子就废了,可惜了..
- @黄色潜水艇(微笑，挥手，再见。)：1999年初，吉他手 Tim Kelly 在一次车祸中意外丧生，Jeff Blando 在几个月后加入乐队，本来乐队其他成员是抱着试一试的心态让 Jeff Blando 加入的，但 Jeff Blando 的表现不错，乐迷们对他也非常支持，因此他成为了 Slaughter 的正式成员。新阵容的 Slaughter 实力依然不减，乐队重新上路，成果就是1999年的这张新专辑《Back to Reality》，也许与 Tim Kelly 的死有关，专辑比以前显得沉重了许多，长长的、暴裂的吉他 Solo 充斥着每首歌曲的段落，乐队也开始创作一些关于死亡的、沉重的歌曲来表达自己对世界的愤怒，Slaughter 依然坚持为自己带来巨大成功和失败的 Pop Metal 风格，专辑的水准并不比他们全盛时期专辑水准差。 微微 (英洋歌姬) 2012-10-28 20:57 屠夫最经典的要属那张黑白封面92版，是在武汉大学门口的打口碟店里买的。
