You Want It You Got It
1980年,Bryan Adams出版了第一张个人同名专辑,但即使在他的家乡,这张专辑也没有引起多大的反响,但随后他于1981年推出的"You Want It,You Got It"确使他在加拿大北方成了一名真正的明星,这张专辑也产生了四首加拿大排行榜上榜单曲。 by William Ruhlmann With its crystal-clear production, courtesy of Bob Clearmountain, You Want It, You Got It is state-of-the-art rock & roll of the post-Bruce Springsteen era: the guitars rev up, the bass drum is deeper than a well, the vocals are nasal and punky. The songs don't have the craft or commitment of Brian Adams' peers/competitors -- Springsteen, Tom Petty, John Mellencamp -- but you may not know it for the first few spins, just because the sound is so hot and infectious, and by then it may not matter. Actually, this is a much more enjoyable record in many respects than the rock & roll assembly line products Adams constructed once he hit the arenas. As it was, with this one, he was on his way. All he did later was take this approach and make it slicker.
