网上流传的320kbps mp3和m4a有一部分是转码，所以我最终决定自购。

楼下ap的碟评，作者SpencerCoronado
The New Age is a metalcore band from Columbus, Ohio with resonating authenticity. The band formed in October of 2012 and released their first single “This Life,” through BlankTV’s YouTube channel in the spring of 2013. The track gained over 40,000 views and the band was hard pressed by fans to release more. The band, undaunted, proceeded to maintain an exasperatingly distant internet presence for the next year and then, without much notice, released their second single, “Pessimistic,” in the spring of 2014. The track proved to be just as popular as the first, but fans were growing restless for something more.
On September 1st, 2014, The New Age delivered, releasing their debut EP Think Too Much; Feel Too Littlethrough iTunes. The EP’s title comes from an iconic line in Charlie Chaplin’s speech in The Great Dictator(1940): “Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind. We think too much, and feel too little.” The album is diverse, featuring an introduction track, interlude, and four full band songs.
The opening title track begins with a warm keyboard line and develops into a grand, piano driven introduction as Chaplin’s voice is sampled. Faded drum hits and swelling string sections begin to lead the track into something more majestic as it abruptly ends.
Number two, “This Life,” begins with an atmospheric presence and tapping pattern. Dramatic, wailing lead guitars and de-tuned chugging stagger the mix as dynamic vocalist Justin Cotton breaks ground, gutturally screaming, “I’ve been raised to be just another pawn in this world. I’ll take control cause I’m sick of bleeding. I hate this life.” The track is incredible; Cotton’s vocal style is unique and provides an excellent narrative to the song with jaw dropping screaming. He commands the track relentlessly while guitarists Trevor Converse and Lucas Scholl provide a cinematic mixture of metalcore and wailing lead guitar work. The song’s most moving section comes with a complete change of genre as Cotton begins to rap, “Some months ago I came to terms with my worst fears. I got my nose pierced. Fuck, I’ve wasted three years. Now it seems I’m an addict, so I’ll sit up in my addict screaming ‘Fuck the world, I’ve had it.’” The band returns to form with wailing instrumentation and a final guitar solo.
Track three, “Pessimistic,” is also superbly written and produced. The song opens with piano melodies and digitally stuttered guitar chugging and string bends. Cotton sounds on the verge of hysteria, “You take everything that I ever loved. You made me the man that I am today,” as rapid drumming and distant bells float behind him. He brings another spastic bout of stuttered aggression to the table, “I’m not giving in to the monsters.” The song features a familiar mixture of tom fills, snare hits, and guitar wailing found on “This Life,” but diverges as a watery interlude expands. Gentle guitars float across the speakers, and as a pumping bass line comes in, Cotton raps again, “I’m tired of feeling useless. I got a shoe that fits, and I’m made for this. Why shouldn’t I wear it?”
The fourth song, “What’s In It For Me? (Debt)” is an interlude or preface to the next track, “Debt.” The interlude opens with somber piano chords and dismal lyrics, “Have I become what I fear? A broken man with nothing but debt that I can never pay back.” The song is simple and haunting. “Debt,” opens with a pounding drum pattern and distorted chords. The song evolves into a laid back section as smooth guitar lines and a pumping drum pattern begin. Cotton raps again, and it just feels right. The song returns with chugging and Cotton’s declaration, “We’ll never make it this way.” A guitar solo occurs between the breakdowns and Cotton’s anguished screams.
The last track, “The Truth,” opens with aural synth pads and detuned chugging. Cotton’s vocals sound especially dark on this track as he stampedes, “No one could ever make me feel more abandoned; but can I blame you? What did I do to make you feel so sick?” The track is relentless with vocal onslaught and blistering guitars, dropping into a ultra stuttered blast beat section with bass guitar and filtered screams. Cotton’s singing is moving on this track, sounding more confident than before. The song features another dramatic guitar solo over soaring clean vocals. “The Truth,” ends with bright, shining piano melodies and Cotton’s raspy singing, “I feel worse than everyone, and it’s pounding through my head.”
At the end of the EP, an experience akin to a full-length album has been had. The New Age has written and released a groundbreaking effort. My criticisms would include the introduction track and interlude’s out of place feeling; however, it’s clear from these piano pieces that The New Age is not a one trick pony, and perhaps in time they will learn to incorporate them more easily.
