Augustana is a four-piece group from L.A. that combines the introspective grittiness of American guitar rock (think the Wallflowers and Counting Crows) with the wide-angle theatrics of U.K. guitar/piano rock (think Radiohead before they went nuts or a less epic Coldplay). That may sound interesting, but their debut major label album, All the Stars and Boulevards, is a fairly ho... (展开全部)
Augustana is a four-piece group from L.A. that combines the introspective grittiness of American guitar rock (think the Wallflowers and Counting Crows) with the wide-angle theatrics of U.K. guitar/piano rock (think Radiohead before they went nuts or a less epic Coldplay). That may sound interesting, but their debut major label album, All the Stars and Boulevards, is a fairly hollow exercise that feels like it was concocted in a record label boardroom. That's not to say that it was or that all plans hatched in that manner are inherently wrong. It just points to the elements (originality, excitement, soul) that are missing from Augustana. From the overly processed guitars to singer Dan Layus' simultaneously bland and over-emoted vocals to the slickness of the melodies and the clichéd authenticity of the perfectly crafted arrangements, there isn't much to sink your teeth into here. Even for fans of the bands Augustana is so obviously influenced by, they will feel like they are listening to a third- or fourth-generation Xerox copy. All that said, the album is still listenable in a strange kind of way since the lack of any distinguishing features allows the music to be perfect background music. Sort of like elevator AOR. Sort of like a wasted 40 minutes.

I think I'll go to Boston
-
- Alsoran 从不安稳的睡眠中醒来,玻璃上映出微弱的鱼肚白的颜色。 再一次想起《Boston》,于是插上耳机,一个人坐在床上安静的听《Boston》。 我承认总是有着这样的歌让我无法厌倦,犹如得了一种叫恋歌癖的病症一样反复听着同一首歌,听到条件反射般想吐,删除掉之后又恋恋不舍的拾回来继续反复听。 于是我在很长一段时间一...... (7回应)

Augustana,Boston,还有那些城市的故事
-
- 清晨的荣誉(石家庄) 在Augustana的歌曲中,经常会出现美国各大城市的名字 从California, Los Angeles,到Atlanta, Boston还有New York~ 而伴随着这些名字的,往往是孤独,惆怅与失落。 也许在现代城市文明冲击下,伴随着外面世界的匆忙与喧嚣, 人类内心反而更加空虚与寂寞。 听A......
