<p>我覺得如果不看歌詞的話就會覺得這好像又是一張很像他會做的專輯，彈得好、唱得好、編得好，是很好聽，但好像跟之前的作品差不多。剛剛邊吃飯邊看歌詞邊聽，才體會到這張真正厲害的點。從訪談跟專題報導裡面可以知道這次專輯的主題是家庭，以及在不同世代與成員之間，相同的行為模式卻被保存了下來。不過我覺得讀這些說明、訪問，比起實際上聽過還是有很大的不同。一些個人認為的本作焦點：</p>
32+
<ul>
33+
<li>“Bolt”，這首歌一直讓我想到 Pile 的 “Firewood”。歌詞是關於閃電轟到他們家，把他們家的電話轟個稀巴爛，而他爸才剛講完電話沒多久。</li>
34+
<li>“Gondola” 是在講一個阿嬤在說希望可以把握時間陪孫女去威尼斯搭貢多拉，小時候開始就在莫名其妙的小鎮活著，沒書可唸，在家裡的珠寶店工作做到發覺自己已經離死不遠了，於是希望在還來得及的時候多創造一些回憶。他在唱 “My dreams died like dolphins in a net”，我是覺得也太心態炸裂了。</li>
35+
<li>“Bullies” 是在講一個小孩在學校跟人打架，他爸在 Zoom 上跟客戶開會的時候收到學校打來的電話，而他在想以前也在同一所學校被人欺負，但是那時候的英文老師對他很好。他在電話裡問老師是不是還有在教，得到的回覆是老師正在休假。</li>
36+
<li>“The Question”，小孩在家裡看到地縛靈，地縛靈問他說，你要去哪裡。小孩後來很會唸書，劍橋畢業之後去當高級研究員當了兩年，先生偷吃，他則是嘗試自己帶小孩，給他一個開心的空間。有一天長大之後的小孩又在家裡看到同一個地縛靈，地縛靈又問他說，你要去哪裡。</li>
37+
<li>“Boxing Day Sales”，這首歌其實放在 <em>2020</em> 也很合理。</li>
38+
<li>“Knot” 是在講他渾渾噩噩地跟他的伴侶去了朋友婚禮。</li>
39+
<li>“Removal Vans”，最後面是小孩說他在樓上打電動，聽到樓下爸媽在大吵，爸爸說「我再也受不了啦」之後甩門而去，而他應該下樓看看發生什麼事情，但他卻連動都不敢動。下一段就切到爸爸說他跑遍 Ikea 跟特力屋（P&amp;Q 應該比較接近特力屋吧）買了一堆東西，買完之後跟接生婆約時間，最後再回到家裡漆新建好的嬰兒房。</li>
40+
</ul>
41+
<p>其實每一首都可以讓我想像是我小時候會抱著歌詞本邊看邊聽的，真的是很精彩。</p>
42+
<p>音樂上的話，這張的配器比起之前的專輯則是更收斂、更簡單一些。</p>

<p>Experimental footwork. I feel like whatever Jlin does they all sound kind of similar, it will have unsettling beats and any melodic elements will be used as rhythmic tools instead of providing their own motif.</p>

<p>Loma Prieta sans the chaotic riffs. Only the vocals sounds skramz-y, the other things are more like modern, atmospheric post-hardcore. Quite melodic but no real hard hitters here.</p>
