Stands for Decibels is the debut studio album by American power pop band the dB's, released January 15, 1981 by Albion Records. The album was commercially unsuccessful but critically acclaimed. At the time of its release, the dB's consisted of singer/guitarists Chris Stamey and Peter Holsapple, bassist Gene Holder, and drummer Will Rigby. The songwriting was evenly divided between Stamey and Holsapple, although Stamey became known for writing the stranger, more avant-garde numbers ("She's Not Worried", "Espionage"), while Holsapple wrote the more accessible, poppier songs ("Black and White", "Bad Reputation"). Both Stamey and Holsapple played keyboards occasionally as well. Holder and Rigby did not receive any songwriting credits (other than a group credit for "Dynamite").

  • Stands for Decibels é o álbum de estréia da banda The dB's, em janeiro de 1981. Inicialmente foi um fracasso comercial, mas desde então tem se reconhecido com um álbum fundamental da cânone do power pop, ao lado de lançamentos de Big Star. Muitas bandas de rock como Yo La Tengo, Teenage Fanclub e R.E.M., citaram o álbum como uma influência. O som do álbum é caracterizado principalmente por seu uso de melodias power pop e guitarras jangly subvertida por estranhas instrumentações e mudanças de tempo. (pt)
