Chapter 1680: 1680
Due to the high attention of the final showdown, the first batch of music reviews far exceeded expectations. A total of 18 professional media and 43 comprehensive media published relevant music reviews for the first time. This is only the first week. It's just the first comments inside, and it's really scary. The popularity surpassed the previous Battle of the Century and "Independence Day" in one fell swoop, and became the biggest prosperous year in 1996.
No one could have imagined that on this day, the music market actually surpassed the movie market and became the focus of the entertainment industry's most attention. Almost the entire music industry rejoiced, and October was like Christmas in the United States, with all the lights on. What is even more interesting is that the brilliance and boiling of the whole year of 1996 were all related to Hugo. There is absolutely no one who can match Hugo's momentum today.
After the first batch of reviews was converted, in the scoring system out of 10, "Rapid Rain" achieved a super high average score of 9.6 points, which not only easily surpassed the previous two albums of Glory to Death, but also It surpassed the original soundtracks of "Never Mind" and "Bodyguard", and became the highest-rated album in the media since the 1990s!
The media generally believe that "The greatest success of the album 'Torrential Rain' lies in telling everyone with melody, lyrics and soul: What kind of band is Glory to Death! Rarely seen at a young age.” And the version of the B-side in the outdoor recording studio was unanimously praised by the media, and was considered to be the most daring and outrageous but also the most successful after the Beatles rooftop concert in music history. The most wonderful attempt.
The reputation of the album "Butterfly" is also high, with an average score of 9.1 points, surpassing Maria's previous two well-received albums and becoming the most popular album by music critics. This also means that Maria's self-innovation and self-challenge have been recognized, which is undoubtedly a great news.
The media's point of view said, "Maria's courageous attempt shows her super high quality as a singer. Many of the songs have made bold changes in arrangement, melody, etc., which can be called an attempt ahead of the times. The singer's most commendable spirit." Of course, the quality of the entire album is still slightly insufficient, after all, there is always a price to be paid for trying, which is why Maria's overall score lags far behind Glory to Death.
"Stay in the Moment" is a mixed bag, but basically criticism prevails, with an average score of only 7.6 points, not to mention a disastrous defeat to two competitors, which is also a world away from the previous two albums of Oasis. No, it can be said to be a sound of disappointment.
After a comprehensive observation of the media's comments, everyone's opinion is not complicated, "The roughness of technology has become the shackles of Oasis, the simple melody and poetic lyrics, after lacking the support of the spiritual soul, appear loose and disorderly. The whole album is completely ignorant, it can't even be said to be singing, it's just five teenagers taking drugs. It's just a piece of melody pieced together after the drug is boring." Compared with the lack of ideas and creativity, the Gallagher brothers played technique and singing. In terms of technology, it has become the main target of media attacks, and it is even considered to "destroy music".
Jump out of the iron triangle frame of the ultimate showdown, and temporarily focus on Oasis Band and Glory to Death. The showdown between these two rock bands is also a competition that affects the development prospects of the entire music industry. Originally, from the beginning, this century showdown began. It's the sparkling confrontation between these two rock bands.
After the first batch of music reviews came out, a situation worthy of further study was formed. Although Oasis has always been criticized for its rough technical skills, it is no longer a secret, but the album "Stay in the Moment" addresses this weakness. It was completely exposed. Without the talent of the previous two albums as an excuse, the shortcomings of the Oasis Band were infinitely magnified and became the target of intensive media attacks.
When Oasis took the initiative to provoke this duel of the century, Fokin focused on attacking Oasis' poor playing skills in an interview with the media. He even accused Oasis' title song "Do you know what I mean?" Plagiarism - plagiarizing their own previous music, there are too many repetitions in the melody and arrangement. The result completely angered Oasis.
But what about now? Not only did Fujin's accusations come true, the album "Stay in the Moment" became a true portrayal of Oasis's bottleneck. It has to be said that the Oasis Band was completely at a disadvantage in the duel with Glory to Death.
As we all know, the third album is very important for rock bands, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is "one side of heaven and one side of hell". Now let's focus on the two rock bands Glory to Death and Oasis, their three-album duel has been given more meaning, not only the competition between the bands, but also the competition of the future direction of music development.
"Rainstorm" has been infinitely sought after by the media. With the highest rating since the 1990s, it announced the birth of the third album of Glory to Death. This band that has set off a wave of new metal rock is making an irresistible effort. Stance takes new metal rock to new heights. Hugo even used solid basic skills and amazing talent to declare an unparalleled sense of existence. The entire album is still entirely arranged by Hugo, and the overall quality of the album even surpassed that of "Bathing in the Morning Light", reaching a new high. Shocked!
"Stay in the moment" has mixed reputations, and has been criticized by countless media. The weaknesses of the Oasis Band have been exposed, and what is even more terrifying is that their talents have gradually become mediocre. Repeatedly repeating myself, unable to break through myself, but still unaware, but immersed in a world of triumph, like a frog at the bottom of a well. Even improving on the fatal flaws of their technology and lacking the support of rock talent, they were just the most ordinary of countless underground bands.
The third series, this is a feng shui ridge, which clearly outlines the level, aptitude, talent, and prospects of rock bands. Maybe this is not absolute. For Glory to Death and Oasis at this very moment, this is the moment to make a decision. In a head-to-head duel, when the strength of the bottom of the box is brought out, there is no fancy way to compete for absolute strength.
Although it is said that in the first battle of the previous battle of the century, the Oasis Band has been completely defeated, but strictly speaking, it is only a single contest, and all wins and losses are still reversible - only the performance of a single Disturbances are nothing to worry about, so the Oasis Band still has a chance to regain a city.
But now, the word-of-mouth of "Stay in the Moment" and "Rainstorm" are very different. Music critics are disappointed with the Oasis Band, and it can even be said that there is a flood of criticism. The most important thing is that Fu Jin accused the Oasis Band at the beginning. , are now fully reflected in the album "Stay in the Moment", what does that mean? This is not only a loud slap directly in the face of the Gallagher brothers, but also the comprehensive suppression of Oasis Band to Death.
After losing face, now lose lizi again. In the face of glory to death, the Oasis Band can't lift their heads at all. This is a shame, a shame without any room for sophistry, and a shame that even the last fig leaf will be torn off.
The "National Enquirer" grapevine said that after reading the first batch of music reviews, the Gallagher brothers smashed the dressing room at an event in Los Angeles, all mirrors, dressing tables, sofas, windows and doors. It was smashed, and the two brothers seemed to be sucking at the time. The poison was so hilarious that he turned his face and did not recognize the person. He smashed it hard at the scene, and even the other teammates of the Oasis Band were overwhelmed with fright.
Losing a duel is not scary, Oasis always has a way to get back on its feet, not to mention that their current career is absolutely booming, otherwise the troika of the ultimate duel will not be their turn; only Gallagher Brother is an absolute football hooligan - what is a football hooligan? A group of lunatics who are not afraid of the sky and the earth, and don't care about the alcohol.
But what frustrates Oasis the most is that it is absolutely unacceptable to lose the duel in a downright fashion, and even be honored to the point of death as salt in the wound. Compared with such a failure, the poor reputation of "staying at the moment" is nothing at all, and they don't care about the so-called bottleneck of the third series. What really annoyed them was the face of the "provocative villain" who was honored to death.
Therefore, for the Oasis Band, the sales battle is the last place to stay. This is their underwear, and there is no room for negotiation. So, in the next period of time, the Oasis Band's publicity offensive was extremely fierce, not only surpassing the glory of the tour, but even Maria, who is the main propaganda war, couldn't resist.
The duel between Glory to Death and the Oasis Band, the duel between the third series and the third series, the duel between the new rock force and the new rock force... The final outcome of this duel is being announced little by little, and the music market is shaking. Shake is slowly spreading in a way invisible to the naked eye.
As for the pattern of the entire final showdown, the current form is still not completely clear. Glory to Death is undoubtedly a bridgehead in the hearts of music critics. The album "Rainstorm" has been called the greatest album of the 1990s by the "New Yorker" - no one, the "New Yorker" thinks this album Has gone beyond Nirvana's "Never Mind" and truly took rock and roll by storm.
However, Maria's "Butterfly" did not give in. Although the overall reputation of the album was a whole level behind "Torrential Rain", it still did not affect music critics' affirmation of her, especially for her as an independent individual, A great singer's affirmation. It is conceivable that the sales advantage of the album "Butterfly" on the morning of the 28th will burst out with greater energy.
As for the Oasis Band, which is completely at a disadvantage in the word-of-mouth battle, who can deny their competitiveness? After the foreshadowing of the first two albums, "Stay in the Moment" is generally considered to be the most awaited album in 1996. The influence of music critics needs time to settle and brew, but the fanaticism of fans has been overshadowed by the first two albums. The album's outstanding ignite, so the explosion in sales is completely predictable.
Troika, no one is weak. Facts have also proved this. The three-hour sales battle on the morning of the 28th set off an unparalleled frenzy. After entering the afternoon, a new buying heat wave hit, and the momentum even far exceeded the morning!
