The ultimate showdown is not just a competition for sales, but also a competition for publicity, word of mouth, popularity, and most importantly, the entire momentum competition!

For Mariah Carey, Oasis and Glory to Death, this album was already very important. "Butterfly" is Maria’s new transformation attempt. "Stay in this moment" is the technically controversial Oasis band’s proof of its work, and "Butterfly" is the foundation for the glory of facing a fork in the road after two years of silence. Style works.

Every album is extremely important to the singers themselves. There is almost no room for fault tolerance. A single mistake will have a fatal impact on their future career development curve. Now, they are stuck in the ultimate showdown again, which also makes every point of error will be infinitely magnified. The gap in sales can also be explained by the difference in the listening group, but the word-of-mouth battle is a competition without any retreat: Conquering Music Review People, this is the number one priority for the three groups of singers!

As a long-established professional music magazine, "q Magazine" is undoubtedly authoritative, and its influence starts from the British Isles, covering the world. This ultimate showdown is a global event. They will naturally not miss it, and it will be the first time. He published relevant comments and attracted the attention of countless people.

"Maria-Kelly, who has the courage to challenge herself, shows a completely different attitude of a woman. The melody and lyrics are full of strong personal touch. The beauty of the melody breaks the shackles of the current rhythm and blues and popular genre, and her vocal range The advantages of the above show vividly. It can be said that this is an album ahead of the times, showing Maria's ambition and attitude. It can definitely be regarded as one of Maria's most important albums so far. Full score of five stars,'Butterfly' Four stars."

"The Oasis band, which has inherited the gloomy, rough, and freehand style of British rock, is still running wildly and arrogantly. However, this time the album is a little overdone, the melody and lyrics are too random, and even a little bit incomprehensible. The album’s thoughts are loose, the rough musical note particles are full of confusion and uncertainty, like a headless fly. Maybe this is still the best band in the UK in 30 years, but they need to figure out what they are doing. Full marks. Five stars, two stars for'stay in this moment'."

"If you use one sentence to summarize the album'Blurry Rain', this is the simplest thing: glory to death. Glory, or death, is not only the name of the band, but also the soul of the band, and this Zhang Benfang’s publicity album has also brought this spirit into full play. Hugo showed his most mature understanding of music, with a perfect combination of technology and melody, and the lyrics and emotions have sublimated effects, making each melody It has become a work of art. Undoubtedly, this is an album that is glorious to death and declares its place in history. The full score is five stars, and the five stars for'Blurry Rain'."

As a professional magazine, "q Magazine" has conducted professional reviews on all three albums. They made no secret of their admiration for glory to death, and they did not hesitate to praise Maria, and even more relentlessly criticized the Oasis Band-even though They are regular magazines of British descent.

Corresponding to the other side of the Atlantic is the leading American music magazine "Rolling Stone." They are unwilling to lag behind to make professional comments on this ultimate showdown based in North America that sweeps the world.

"Rolling Stone" can definitely be regarded as the first person in music magazines in the world. As early as the 1960s, all underground rock bands were proud of "appearing on the cover of "Rolling Stone" magazine" and even regarded this honor as a band. A sign of true success. This shows the position of this magazine in the hearts of musicians. It is true that "Rolling Stone" is too commercialized, and often does not pay enough attention to independent music, but it is undeniable that this magazine does represent the entire industry and the trend of the entire industry. Its commercialization is exactly what countless musicians dream of. s concern.

But what’s interesting is that the glory that has swept the world to the death has never been able to be on the cover of the "Rolling Stone" magazine. Not once. Strictly speaking, the first time the "Rolling Stone" officially reported on the glory to the death was more than one. The first battle of the War of the Century a month ago.

The inside story is too complicated. To put it simply, "Rolling Stone" has no interest in the glory to death of grassroots and independent attributes, but now, glory to death is still the glory to death, but "Rolling Stone" has no way to treat them. Ignore it.

"The reason why the album'Blurry Rain' is outstanding is not because the ten tracks have maintained super high quality. Any song can be used as the title song of other albums; nor is it because of the album's first and second albums. The title song can be regarded as a classic masterpiece, once again reaching the level of the "good day (.day two years ago; but because-Glory to Death reproduces the spirit of the most glorious era of 1967 rock and roll through this album, no matter It is the innovation of the arrangement method, or the sparkle of the core of the album, which once again awakened the never-extinguishing rock fire deep in my heart. The full score is five stars, and the four stars for'storm and rain'."

"As one of the top female singers in the United States today, Mariah Carey once again brought surprises. The overall quality of the album'Butterfly' may not surpass her previous two albums, but there is no doubt that this is a Maria’s metamorphosis truly shows the music she wants to produce as a musician. This courage is undoubtedly worthy of praise. The album contains several bold and innovative works that are ahead of the times, which are worthy of detail. Savor it. Five stars out of five, three stars for'Butterfly'."

"After experiencing two wonderful albums, we have reason to expect more from Oasis-expect this band to shock everyone of us like the original Beatles. But the truth is that they let us down. The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. The rough and vague musical influence is like the British rock that has not yet re-emerged, losing its direction again. The rough technical level makes the melody seem too simple and the repetitiveness is too high. People always feel familiar. The whole album is full of confusion and confusion, making it impossible to listen carefully. The full score is five stars, and the one star for'stay in this moment'."

"Rolling Stone"'s comments are undoubtedly leading the whole trend. They praised the glory to death for an unprecedented, this is epoch-making significance. For "Rolling Stone", it seems that their ignorance in the past three years has never happened before, and glory to death has always been their favorite darling. Even for professional magazines, they are ultimately affiliated with the uncrowned king.

Leaving aside the shamelessness of "Rolling Stone", their reviews are absolutely authoritative and are currently the mainstream reviews in the entire music market. There is "q magazine" in the United Kingdom and "Rolling Stone" in the United States. Although their comments are somewhat different, the basic trend is still the same. This is the view of the mainstream media.

But the so-called music review is that different people have different opinions, and it is impossible for everyone to have the same point of view. "U.S. Weekly" expressed different views in the comments.

"This is the best album of Oasis! Perhaps'stay at this moment' is not a typical market mainstream orientation, but after the two albums have been polished, Oasis has a better understanding of music and will be younger. The confused, chaotic, and out-of-control mental state of a generation is integrated into the melody, and every musical note easily touches the heartstrings of music fans. No one can deny that the rock and roll represented by the Oasis Band is gradually becoming the mainstream of the market, and this will also be The future of the market. Full score is four stars, "Stay at this moment" three stars."

"Maria has dedicated a wonderful album. This is an incredible and shocking work. It brings grief into a beautiful work and makes melancholy a work of gold. No need to discuss, this is a work of the nineties. A milestone for the most successful artist. Maria demonstrates her musical taste as a top singer that surpasses other singers of the same era. Full score is four stars, "Butterfly" four stars."

"Glory to Death is an excellent band, there is no doubt;'Blurry Rain' is an excellent album, there is no doubt. But unfortunately, Hugo tried to express too many things through this album. The songs can’t be unified, and the style is even more messy. The completion of the entire album is disappointing. Maybe every song is a good work, but it’s just like an album when it’s all gathered together. What the name says: gusts of wind and rain, a mess. Full score is four stars, and'storm and rain' is one and a half stars."

The views of "U.S. Weekly" have not been widely recognized, but it is undeniable that there are still many media expressing similar views. For example, the "Daily News" believes that "'Butterfly' is a very personal album which truly expresses Maria's wishes and thoughts as an independent individual, which deserves to be savored." At this moment,'excellence needs time to settle and slowly experience. The spirit of this album reminds people of the Beatles.'Hurrying Rain' has gradually deviated from the independent track, and is invading the mainstream market with a grandstanding attitude. The lack of rock spirit is lacking. Let this album become mediocre."

The "Daily Shimbun" awarded the "Butterfly" three stars, "Stay at this moment" three stars, and "Blurry Rain" one star.

If someone examines it carefully, you can find that those media that express their disdain for glory, such as "U.S. Weekly" and "Daily News", are all media that are not friendly to Hugo. This is not the point. The point is that these media are comprehensive newspapers and magazines, and the music reviews they write are columns of specially invited music critics, which are very popular, but they are not authoritative.

On the contrary, the opinions of the real professional music media are almost the same. Even though there are some differences in ratings, they have maintained the same general direction. They have given the highest praise to the album of Glory To Death, and tried Maria Kelly. The challenge expressed recognition and the loss of Oasis.

The difference between professional opinions and onlookers' opinions soon showed its power between the gradual spread of music reviews. The first round of word-of-mouth battles will soon be revealed!
