& p, W U3 b- c8 c d8 MWithin Temptation可说是一支表现出色的荷兰美声派gothic乐团,汲取前辈The Gathering的悠扬气氛作风,再更专注于乐曲的情感呈现,并以女主唱Sharon飘渺的动人音色为主轴,2000年末所发表的第二张专辑,不论在各方面都较上张专辑成熟相当多,乐团焦点Sharon明显能听出她唱腔上的进步,除了音色更为浑美外,在转音及高音表现上也都更显出色!而这张专辑的乐风走向则变得更为柔美,金属成份不但大为地减少,death腔的运用也已不复见,改而加入部份男女唱诗班的合唱演出,曲式的编写可说是针对Sharon所量身订作,完全突显出Sharon的美妙音色。, X+ Y; `6 ?1 q' }
事实上从专辑封面上Sharon装扮成天使的模样,以及背后的光明景像,就隐约透露出音乐的明亮走向,而确实优美的管弦乐、钢琴、诗唱表现,和抒情的曲式,使这张专辑中已完全不带一丝歌德的暗黑感,因此称其是歌德已不恰当,WT可说已转型为美声美旋律金属。; F; k4 W' p& }: W$ Q2 m: ]
