专辑介绍

《It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land》是英国乐团Soulsavers的第2张录音室专辑，于2007年发行。此张专辑以请来美国歌手Mark Lanegan（原Grunge乐队Screaming Trees

的主唱）担当主唱为特色。Lanegan还同样参与了专辑中5首歌曲的创作。

Jimi Goodwin、Will Oldham（即Bonnie 'Prince' Billy）及PW Long作为嘉宾同样是专辑的特色之一。人们还亲切的把这张专辑比作Death in Vegas1999年的作品《The Contino Sessions》（Death in Vegas的那张专辑同样给人以大气的感觉，也以许多的嘉宾歌手为特色，包括Iggy Pop和Dot Allison）。

If Rich Machin and Ian Glover were aiming for a dark, moody vibe on their debut album as Soulsavers, 2003's Tough Guys Don't Dance, they hit the jackpot when they persuaded Mark Lanegan to lend his vocal talents to their second full-length project, It's Not How Far You Fall, It's the Way You Land. While the downbeat atmosphere of Soulsavers' languid drum loops, spare keyboard patterns, and ghostly string samples certainly set the stage for their celebration of the dark night of the soul, Lanegan's vocals steal the show and run with it on the opening track, "Revival," and if anything he pulls the songs into even deeper and more forbidding territory as the album goes along. The quiet desperation of Lanegan's performance on "Spiritual," the ragged menace of "Ghosts of You and Me" and the blasted, forlorn resignation of "No Expectations" rank with his finest recorded work to date, and as strong as the musical backdrops are on this set, it's all but impossible to imagine these songs being nearly as effective with anyone else as lead singer. It's also worth noting that the most effective songs on this album happen to be covers, suggesting that while Soulsavers have no small talent as producers and arrangers, they have a ways to go in terms of writing material. But if Lanegan takes the spotlight away from Machin and Glover on It's Not How Far You Fall, It's the Way You Land, they unquestionably gave him a remarkable vehicle for his vocal skills, and it would certainly be to the advantage of both sides for Soulsavers and Lanegan to collaborate again some day.
