【碎念】：

    “很久很久没有如此痴狂于一个乐队了，既Nightwish，HIM之后，让我发自内心大爱的乐队。我不是偏执狂，也不是刻意地要去追求什么所谓的‘个性’。有些‘属友’如今开始已经偏向民谣，但我始终认为，如果一个人此时还能够接受金属音乐的话，那么说明他此时仍旧年轻。”这是我2008年10月的话。但是人终究还是人，虽然现在金属仍是主菜，但是氛围已不再像先前那样power或只专注于娘们金属了，毕竟，在目前这忙碌的生活中不可能人人都保持着[Heart full of fire]的状态。不过今年听过Sirenia的新砖，很失望，所以决定必须要来写写他们这张老专辑。

    “传说在希腊神话中有一个以声音来迷惑人类的海妖Siren，没有人能够逃离她诱人美妙的歌声，凄美，悲伤......”我觉得，从Tristania分出，S团的首张专辑的整体感觉和前面这段文还是蛮匹配的。经典的北欧音乐真的可以说是忙碌一天之余躺在床上闭上眼睛的精神享受。

    虽然美女与野兽的搭配在金属界早已不是什么新鲜的事，但关键还要看怎样把女声运用的恰到好处。我是真心觉得，这女主唱那直入灵魂的嗓音与男声低沉粗犷的低吼似乎能诉说尽人间种种的凄苦愤怒与无奈，那种轻盈飘逸的感觉，使得每次Fabienne Gondamin的声音出现在歌曲都给人一种极为恰当的点缀感觉，不能过多，但是决不可以缺少，甚至让人有一种为了她的声音而愿意去等待整首歌的冲动！此女主唱的声音不仅有其轻柔的一面，同时也具备着一丝鬼魅，[Sister Nightfall]中，每次听到“Come down to linger in heresy......”唱起，就会觉得整个人都被她的歌声催眠，仿佛下一秒就会被卷入无底的海流深渊。F.G.的声音是Sirenia目前为止所有女主唱中我最喜欢的，不愧是仙音界出身的~

    最后一首[In Sumerian Haze]也是我大爱，是一首舒缓有充满忧郁的歌，总能让我想到当年喜欢的AQUA乐队最后一张专辑【Aquarius】中最后一首曲目[Goodbye to the Circus]，一切浮华都是身外之物，转眼即逝，没有绝对的永恒。面对伤痛，用狂舞来抚平，操蛋的事情先让它们滚远！表面悲伤，实则洒脱，意境深远。失恋的时候听很不错= =

    豆瓣上一条乐评说，“此专辑整体不错，很均衡，虽是精品但不是经典”，说的不错，整张专辑每首歌都能让人记住，美女主音、死腔和唱诗班配合的很好，编曲饱满，但这样的均衡配比其实不是每个乐队都能做到的，包括一些大牌团，因此对于Sirenia，这张专辑既是精品又是经典。如今面对那些耀眼浮华的纷扰，相信没有多少人能够泰然自若，所以每当心境异常烦乱之时，舒缓下来聆听一些时而轻盈时而急促的仙音，或许这个时候你就会得到一种超脱，虽然短暂，但同样是弥足珍贵的精彩。

附：【Sister Nightfall】歌词：

Child，every time you come around 

you divert my feelings, and bring me further down

Would you like to be the serpentine whirls of the stream? 

Would you like to cope for all your dreams?

Sister Nightfall controlling the lights in me 

Though it hurts it feels just like a dream

Come down to linger in heresy 

and come down on me with all your serenity 

Shivers down the spine 

when she comes down the hall 

Thy effigy seems frail to be or was it ever there at all?

Child，every tear that runs adown 

will merge and hurt now that winter's all around

Would you like to wear the secrets of the seven seas? 

Would you like to be what you can't be?

Sister Nightfall controlling the lights in me 

Though it hurts it feels just like a dream

Come down to linger in the undreamed 

and come down on me to cope for what should have been 

Give in on tonight 

All heavens on their fall 

We failed to find that soul divine enshrined within us all

She sets her sails for another sea 

There's more to life than your eyes reveal 

Upon its scenery...

Sister Nightfall controlling the lights in me 

Though it hurts it feels just like a dream

Sister I call out in vain for thee 

Though I hurt you, won't you set me free?

【In Sumerian Haze】歌词：

In sumerian haze you search for another day

Guess another vail left you this way

Thoughts on a line where I leave it all behind

Nothing can mend the hurt inside

Sweetened horizons 

dance away the pain tonight

Just like you and I

Profoundly deranged you go through another day

I guess it was meant to be this way

Thoughts on a line won't recover your mind

You cut your veins, like I've cut mine

Sweetened horizons 

dance away the pain tonight

Just like you and I......

这两首歌每每挺起都有不同的感悟，喜欢死了~
