极 颜 - [Progressive Power Metal] 迷宫 (Labyrinth) - 6 Days to Nowhere：在迷失中寻找归途 的评论
Labyrinth，这支来自意大利的前卫力量金属乐队，成立于1991年，是欧洲力量金属浪潮中不可或缺的名字，与Rhapsody（狂想曲）等乐队共同扛起了“意大利金属”的大旗 。他们的音乐以优美旋...
从Rhapsody到Labyrinth，意大利力量金属在2000年代中期都面临同样的困境：坚持传统还是拥抱新潮流？《6 Days to Nowhere》给出了一个诚实的答案：我们不知道。这种不确定，比那些假装什么都懂的专辑，更值得尊重。
《Wolves'N'Lambs》那段采样，第一次听以为是电脑出问题了。嘻哈节奏配上金属Riff，太分裂了。但多听几次，反而觉得有点意思。这种不伦不类的实验，可能就是Labyrinth在这个时期想探索的边界。虽然没成功，但至少试过了。
Roberto Tiranti's vocals have always been one of Labyrinth's strengths, and even on this uneven album, he delivers. On "Just One Day" and "Waiting Tomorrow," his high notes cut through the murky production like a lighthouse. Without him, this album would be a much tougher listen.
《Crossroads》开场那句"站在十字路口"，可能不只是歌词，是他们的真实处境。往前走是未知，往后退是安全。他们选择了冒险。虽然结果不完美，但这种勇气值得尊敬。毕竟，谁愿意一辈子只做同一件事呢？
I remember reading the reviews on Metal Archives when this came out - 59% average. Ouch. But you know what? Sometimes the albums that get panned are the ones that age the best. This isn't a classic, but it's a fascinating document of a band at a crossroads. Pun intended.
意大利力量金属一直有自己独特的美学，不像德国力量那么硬，不像芬兰力量那么冷，是带着地中海阳光的。但《6 Days to Nowhere》里，这种阳光被雾霾遮住了。《Smoke And Dreams》这歌名简直就是对这张专辑的自我描述：烟雾和梦，看不清，抓不住。
"What???" is an interesting track - the title says it all. The song structure is all over the place, the riffs don't always connect, and you can almost hear the band arguing in the studio. But there's an energy here that more polished albums sometimes lack. It's raw, it's messy, it's real.
《Piece of Time 2007》是整张专辑最让我感动的部分。94年的EP是我入坑Labyrinth的开始，十几年后再听他们重新演绎，像是和老朋友重逢。虽然编曲更现代了，但那种青春的热血还在。在迷茫的时候回头看看来路，大概也是他们录这首歌的心情。
The bass work on this album is underrated. On "Coldness" especially, you can hear the bass lines weaving through the guitars, adding depth. It's easy to focus on the vocals or the guitars in power metal, but the rhythm section holds this whole chaotic album together.
《6 Days to Nowhere》这名字起得太对了。听完整张专辑，真的感觉他们找不到方向了。一会儿是力量金属，一会儿是另类摇滚，一会儿又回去翻唱Beatles。但奇怪的是，这种混乱反而让我反复听。它不像一张完美的专辑，更像一个真实的创作过程记录。
