​​Happier Than Ever-Billie Eilish metacritic/aoty 高赞用户乐评搬运 三则 机翻＋原文＋评分 

-Billie Eilish 在音乐界的爆发历程是独一无二的，基本上无人可比较的，立即受到主流听众、独立音乐人、另类听众以及整个音乐行业/颁奖典礼的喜爱。她基本上获得了贾斯汀比伯类型的名望水平，同时仍然从音乐书呆子那里获得某种“信誉”（至少那些不讨厌染发女性的人）。因此，在横扫格莱美奖和铁杆和随意的音乐听众的热爱之后，问题出现了她是否能够再次做到这一点。虽然她二年级专辑发行前的单曲让我*非常*担心，但我“比以往任何时候都更高兴”说“比以往任何时候都更快乐”甚至比她的处女作还要好。 我将首先消除我对单曲的一些抱怨，因为它们中的大多数是这张专辑中最糟糕的曲目，并且会说这里的大多数歌曲都没有与它们相同的问题。除了“我的未来”和“你的力量”，我认为单曲真的在歌曲结构上挣扎，要么是乏味的钩子要么是不有趣的诗句——或者在“失落的原因”的情况下，两者兼而有之。但最重要的是，这影响到除了“我的未来”之外的每一首单曲，我认为最大的问题是 FINNEAS 的制作，我对她的很多处女作也有问题。 FINNEAS 的极简主义风格，如果做得不好，会让人感觉节拍是空洞的、空洞的或不完整的，而且通常感觉这些歌曲在第一分钟之后就无处可去。 值得庆幸的是，这些问题在“比以往任何时候都更快乐”的大部分时间里都没有出现。虽然这里的大部分歌曲都是圆润低调的，但仍有很多不同能量的歌曲让曲目列表保持有趣，我认为 FINNEAS 做得更好，为每首歌的制作提供了一个拱形，让这首歌感觉它在前进某处。 Billie 和她的兄弟在这张唱片中使用了各种风格，如流行、独立、新灵魂、嘻哈、IDM、工业、流行摇滚、民谣、R&B、口语， 甚至波萨诺瓦。我也非常喜欢这里的混音，一切听起来都很干净，没有任何元素在混音中占用太少或太多的空间，但还没有到听起来非常优美的地步。虽然 Billie 的声音确实坚持其典型的柔和传递，但她确实使用了这张唱片的很大一部分来尝试使用她的完整声音，甚至在主打歌中尖叫。我希望这是她将来继续演奏的东西，以使她的音乐更具活力。我对专辑制作的唯一真正问题是它可能有几首歌太长了，我认为如果剪掉几首曲目（很可能是一些单曲和更接近的曲目），唱片会更好。说到这一点，虽然我认为“男性幻想”是一首扎实的歌曲，但我认为它不会为专辑增加太多其他歌曲尚未解决的问题，我认为主打歌会更强大一个更近的。综上所述，歌曲结构合理，鼓点重击，民谣部分听起来很梦幻，我认为这表明 Billie 和 FINNEAS 都取得了令人难以置信的成长。 这种成长延伸到了 Billie 的作品中，这是迄今为止最成熟的作品。我一直认为有人批评 Eilish 的写作力图过于夸张和恶意，但我认为这里最好的曲目有明显的深度，因为她的处女作没有成功同样，在某些方面似乎有点少年。很明显，她真的对她想写的问题和她想说的事情进行了很多思考，这是一件好事，因为比莉对“比以往更快乐”有很多话要说。这张专辑的大部分内容都涉及比莉对她最近获得的所有名声的回应，几乎每个人都知道她并不喜欢随之而来的一切。并且有充分的理由——除了没有隐私，每个人都在不认识你的情况下对你发表意见，Billie 也成为了许多话语、思想作品和音乐记者、新闻头条、自恋者的批评的主题。他们自己是现代哲学家，似乎任何有互联网连接的人，无论他们是否真正了解她或她的工作。任何人都会很难处理这个问题，尤其是那些在 18 岁之前就家喻户晓的人。她还花了很多时间来处理人们如何将她性化，以及她从男人那里受到的一些虐待，特别是一个我不愿透露姓名的男朋友——不幸的是，如果你知道这些，你可能会意识到听说过关于 Billie 以及公众、媒体以及她的男朋友如何对待她的任何事情。 Billie 以诚实、成熟和很多洞察力来谈论它，这是我通常不会在广播中从音乐家那里听到的，我必须赞扬她，而且她不得不经历其中的任何一个，这真是太糟糕了。 在我写这篇文章的时候，我还没有确定评分，我可能会在发帖之前选择几秒钟，如果到年底发生变化，我不会感到惊讶，但我认为这太棒了。我不确定其他人会对此作何反应——老实说，我认为这比她的处女作更难理解，因为她更具体地讲述她正在经历的事情，处理更黑暗的话题，并且除了单曲之外没有很多潜在的主流电台热播——但是我认为制作有所改进，Billie 表现出了更多的多样性，并且是一个更强大的表演者，而且她的歌词在过去两年中已经成熟了很多——在我看来这是各方面的增长。我进入“Happier Than Ever”时以为我即将听到回归，而我最终得到的是自从我在 2018 年找到 Billie Eilish 以来我一直想要的专辑。绝对是金色的。

 -Billie Eilish’s explosion onto the music scene is unique in a way that is comparable to basically no one, being immediately loved by mainstream listeners, indieheads, alt-kids, and the music industry/award shows at large. She essentially received the level of fame one would expect of a Justin Bieber type while still having some sort of “cred” from music nerds (at least the ones that don’t hate women with dyed hair). So after sweeping the Grammy’s and the love of music listeners die-hard and casual, the question arose whether or not she was able to do it again. While the singles leading up to her sophomore release had me *very* worried, I’m “happier than ever” to say that “Happier Than Ever” is even better than her debut. I’ll start this off by getting some of my complaints about the singles out of the way, because most of them are the worst tracks on this album and would say most songs here don’t have the same problems as them. Besides “My Future” and “Your Power”, I think the singles really struggle with song structure, either having a lackluster hook or verses that aren’t interesting – or in the case of “Lost Cause”, both. But more than anything, and this affects every single besides “My Future”, I think the biggest problem is FINNEAS’s production, which I had an issue with a for a lot of her debut as well. FINNEAS’s minimalistic approach, when done poorly, makes it feel like the beats are empty, hollow, or not full, and it can often feel like those songs have nowhere to go past the first minute. Thankfully, these are problems that do not extend through most of “Happier Than Ever”. While most of the songs here are mellow and lowkey, there’s still plenty of songs with different energies to keep the tracklist interesting, and I think FINNEAS does a better job at giving the production on each song an arch to make the song feel like it’s going somewhere. Billie and her brother work with various styles on this record such as pop, indie, neo-soul, hip-hop, IDM, industrial, pop-rock, folk, R&B, spoken word, even bossa nova. I also really love the mixing here, with everything sounding clean and no elements taking up too little or too much space in the mix but not to the point that it sounds hyper polished. And while Billie’s voice does stick to its typical soft delivery, she does use a good bit of this record to experiment with using her full voice, even going as far as to scream on the title track. I hope this is something she continues to play with in the future to keep her music a little more dynamic. My only real problem with the construction of the album is that it’s probably a couple songs too long, I think the record would have worked better with a few tracks cut (most likely some of the singles and the closer). Speaking of which, while I think “Male Fantasy” is a solid song, I don’t think it adds much to the album that wasn’t already addressed by other songs here and I think the title track would have been a much stronger as a closer. All that said, the songs are well constructed, the bangers hit hard, the folkier bits sound dreamy, and I think it shows incredible growth from both Billie and FINNEAS. That growth is extended into Billie’s writing, which is the most mature it’s ever sounded to date. I always thought the criticism that Eilish’s writing was trying to hard to be edgy to be overexaggerated and in bad faith, but there is a noticeable amount of depth that I think the best tracks here have that her debut that her debut didn’t pull off as well, seeming a little juvenile at points. It’s clear that she really gave it a lot of thought about the issues she wanted to write about and what she wanted to say, which is a good thing because Billie has a lot to say on “Happier Than Ever”. Much of this album has to deal with Billie’s response to all of the fame she’s recently received, which pretty much everyone knows she hasn’t enjoyed everything that’s come with it. And for good reason – on top of having no privacy and everyone having an opinion on you without knowing you, Billie has also been the subject of a lot of discourse, think pieces, and criticism from music journalists, news headlines, narcissists who think of themselves as modern day philosophers, and seemingly anyone who had an internet connection regardless if they actually knew anything about her or her work. Anyone would have a hard time dealing with that, especially someone who became a household name before turning eighteen. She also spends a lot of this record dealing with how people have sexualized her and some of the abuse she has received from men and specifically one boyfriend that I won’t name - which unfortunately these are all things you’re probably aware of if you’ve heard anything about Billie and how the public, the media, and how her boyfriend have treated her. Billie speaks about it with honesty, maturity, and a lot of insight that I don’t typically hear from musicians on the radio, which I must commend her for, and it’s just awful that she had to go through any of it. I still haven’t settled on a rating as I write this, I will probably choose seconds before hitting post and I wouldn’t be surprised if that changes by the year’s end, but I thought this was fantastic. I’m not sure how other people will respond to this - I honestly think it’s less accessible than her debut by being more specific about what she’s going through, dealing with darker topics, and not having many potential mainstream radio hits beside the singles - but I think the production has improved, Billie has shown more versatility and is a stronger performers, and her lyricism has matured so much in the past two years - it’s growth on all fronts in my opinion. I came into “Happier Than Ever” thinking I was about to hear a regression and what I ended up getting was the album I’ve been wanting from Billie Eilish since I found her in 2018. Absolutely golden.

 -比莉从噩梦中醒来，现实生活依然艰难而美好。这位艺术家离开了上一张专辑的梦幻般的世界，睁着眼睛唱着现实生活。 《Happier Than Ever》是今年最勇敢的唱片之一。比莉用令人惊讶和刺激的歌声唱歌时，全身心地投入了自己的血肉。如果你不记得青春期后的感觉，请听听这张唱片 

metacritic/10分

-Billie wakes up from nightmares, and real life remains difficult and tasty. The artist left the dreamlike universe of her previous album and, with her eyes open, she sang about real life. Happier Than Ever is one of the year's bravest records. Billie gives herself in flesh and blood as she sings with surprising and stimulating vocals. If you don't remember what it's like to be in post-adolescence, listen to this record.

-尽管我之前认为 不可能超越WWAFAWDWG，但 Billie Eillish 又做到了。这张专辑放在一起很有意义。她的打单单曲选择很差，虽然这张专辑没有任何第一名，但它绝对是成功的，即使没办法和前一张成绩更好，但也可以与前作相提并论。 HTE 有凝聚力，她变得比以往任何时候都更加个性化，她向世界证明她不仅仅是一个热门奇迹，而且不会很快消失，大多数二专辑都表现不佳，但与 Dua Lipa、Taylor Swift ，Lorde 和其他许多二专成绩很好的艺人一样，19 岁的她又震惊了世界。可怜的单曲在专辑中却是不可忽视的力量。我最喜欢的曲目必须是同名主打曲和 Billie bossa nova

 -Although we thought WWAFAWDWG would be impossible to top, Billie Eillish has done it again. The album makes sense when put together. Her single choices were poor and although the album didn’t have any no.1 hits it’s definitely successful and on par with its predecessor if not better. HTE is cohesive and she gets more personal than ever, she proves to the world that she’s not just a one hit wonder and isn’t going anywhere soon, most sophmore albums turn out to be slumps but with the likes of Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift, Lorde and many other artists whose sophomores turned out to be good, she’s shocking the world all at the age of 19. Poor singles but a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the album. My favourite track has to be the title track and billie bossa nova​​​​
