Последняя работа группы Steeler, после которой Аксель Руди Пелл основал свой успешный сольный проект. Как и предыдущие релизы, этот по музыке являет собой настоящий тевтонский хэви метал в лучших традициях жанра: мощные хоровые запевки, бескомпромиссные жесткие гитарные партии и громоподобная ритм-секция. Вокал достаточно харизматичен и абсолютно без слащавых ноток, эдакий задорный полурык-полукрик, отдаленно напоминающий некоторыми интонациями легендарного лидера Running Wild Рок-н-Рольфа. По сравнению с предыдущим "Strike Back" звук стал еще лучше, сохранив всю тяжесть, а виртуозные гитарные соло Акселя Руди Пелла добавляют альбому немало плюсов мелодичности. Кроме того, здесь присутствуют просто отличные песни, будь то хитовая открывашка "Hunter Or Hunted", мистичная среднетемповая "Undercover Animal", тяжелая и с мелодичными соло-партиями "Shadow In The Red Light", забойный спид-металлический номер "Criminal" и задорный боевик "Bad To The Bone". Остальные песни неплохие, но не более того, главное, что не портят впечатления от главных хитов. Профессиональная и крепкая работа, без признаков слащавости, которая придется по вкусу любому настоящему хэви-металлисту. Объективно Аксель выпускал альбомы и посильнее, но и этот альбом достоин занять место среди лучших релизов этого талантливого гитариста. Твердые восемь баллов. |

Hunter or hunted - believe I'm back again
[Chorus 2:]
I'll be - hunter... or - hunted
I'll be - hunter... or - hunted
The bait's your body maybe
You better watch your step
One false move and... it will cost your neck
[Chorus 1 and 2]
[Chorus 3:]
Watch out (watch out, watch out) - hunted
Watch out (watch out, watch out) - hunted
[Chorus 3 and 2]
I'll be - hunter... - body shelter - or hunted [4]
I'll be - hunter... - body shelter...
2. Undercover Animal
[Music - Burtz, Eder / Lyrics - Burtz]
Hey!
Another night, the lights go down
Call of the wild to me
Let them hear the howling sound
Lose control, be free
Hell's breakin' loose beneath my feet
Trembles through the ground
I stalk my prey in the city heat...
Never to be found
[Chorus 1:]
Cause the nighttime... is the right time to explode
Now or never, live it up
[Chorus 2:]
Undercover animal, animal
Undercover animal, animal
Two souls I know inside of me
Man or beast can be
I'll lose my mind to another side...
Wild, untied and free
[Chorus 1 and 2]
Ah! Ah!
OW!
[Chorus 1 and 2]
[Chorus 2]
Ooh, it drives me wild!
Undercover - animal
RRRRR!
3. Shadow In The Redlight
[Music - Burtz, Eder, Hag, Pell / Lyrics - Burtz]
She left the people that were friends
Wanted to leave it all behind
The little girl just walked... away
Thrills of living fast and wild
Pleasure she was out to find
On the loose, nowhere to stay
[Chorus 1:]
Didn't know one day it all comes back, can't escape
And so she had to - pay
[Chorus 2:]
A shadow in the redlight (redlight)
Passion out of sight
A shadow in the redlight (redlight)
That's all what's left
A shadow in the redlight (redlight)
Once out for kicks, now out to excite
A shadow in the redlight (redlight)
Her road didn't lead... straight away
So now the cold wind's blowin' down
A body dressed in lace
Enslaved a thousand miles from home
Reality's no paradise
Just promises and pain
A money lover, all alone, all alone
[Chorus 1 and 2]
[Chorus 2 (2)]
A shadow in the redlight!
4. Hard Breaks
[Music - Burtz, Eder / Lyrics - Burtz]
From man to man, take what we can
A new generation
Stand up as one, time has come
New liberation
[Chorus 1:]
Come on... and make a stand
Nothing can match your desire
Oh you won't look back, it's a straight attack
Gettin' higher
[Chorus 2:]
Hard breaks
Hard breaks
No turnin' back
Hard breaks
For too long we have been... on the track
Finding our place, hit to the face
No complication, no
When the battle is won... life has begun... realization
[Chorus 1 and 2]
[Chorus 2]
[Children's choir:]
Rise up!
We've had enough
Build a new... generation
Ow! Ow!
[Chorus 2 (3)]
5. Criminal
[Music - Burtz, Eder, Pell / Lyrics - Burtz]
Hot, the skin burns like fire
But inside you're cold as ice
Wild desire's in my brain
Drives me insane
You, you took me under fire
The moment you were waiting for
Unprotected was my heart
You knew from the start
[Chorus 1:]
What seems to be
A body is just... a tool of seduction
She gives it for free (free, free)
And then makes the kill, you're a...
[Chorus 2:]
Criminal - Criminal
Criminal - A killer of love
All... things I have to face now
I see through your disguise
Ooh, but you can read my mind... anytime
[Chorus 1 and 2]
[Chorus 3:]
Criminal - Criminal
Criminal - You've stolen my mind
You've stolen my mind, you're a...
[Chorus 2 and 3]
A killer of love
Criminal
6. Rely On Rock
[Music - Burtz, Eder / Lyrics - Burtz]
Are you hungry for action, lookin' for ups
Do they all try to put you down?
Do you wanna escape... the nine to five stuff
Totally out of bounds
Torn down - walkin' alone... and backed against the wall
All alone - but ready to fight... two-fisted... before you fall
[Chorus 1:]
Then turn it up (feel it comin')
Turn it loud (feel it comin')
Slavin' day to day (feel it comin')
Blow the night away
[Chorus 2:]
Thirst for action
Rely on rock
Satisfaction
Rely on rock
You wanna run from the day taken too far away
Livin' your life in a dream
Show no mercy, crack up the sound
And make the speakers steam
[Chorus 1 and 2]
[Chorus 2]
Ow!
Alright!
That does it!
[Chorus 2]
Thirst for action
Rely on rock
Satisfaction
[Chorus 2 (2)]
7. Stand Tall
[Music - Tommy Newton / Lyrics - Burtz]
I don't know the future
Have no guarantees
But I'm this kind of survivor
More up than down, more strong than weak
[Chorus 1:]
I'll - live it up
Nothing can make me fall
Try - to call the shots
Cause I want it all!
[Chorus 2:]
Ooh, hey
Stand tall
Ooh
Never gonna stop
Ooh, hey
Stand tall
Ooh
And I can't give it up
Know the wheels are turnin'
Does it matter anyway
But my flame keeps on burnin'
And that's the one thing that... will remain
[Chorus 1 and 2]
[Chorus 2]
Ooh, hey
Stand tall
Ooh
Never gonna stop
Ooh, hey
Stand tall
Ooh
No I can't, can't give it up
Ooh, hey
Stand tall
Ooh
Never gonna stop
Ooh, hey
Stand tall...
8. Deeper The Night
[Music - Burtz, Eder / Lyrics - Burtz]
Another lonely night
An another lonely road
An endless way to go
Don't have to hide my feelings... lying awake on my own
The gypsy just no one could tie down
All of a sudden... there's a yearning for you
But the wheels keep on rolling
Through endless nights... and other towns
Oh how I wish it could end here
Oh how I'm longin' for your touch
Seems to be years I'm spendin'... alone
[Chorus:]
The deeper the night (deeper the night)
The deeper the night (deeper the night)
The more I'm searchin' for... a reason why
And the further I move... I realize
Something's dying... inside
Something's dying... inside
The screams for encores are reduced to zero
Compared to that voice on the telephone
The heat of a thousand spotlights
Nothing, it's nothing... to the warmth I've known... so well
Before reachin' out for glory
Before reachin' for the stars
Sometimes I wish I could go back... again
[Chorus]
The deeper the night (deeper the night)
The deeper the night (deeper the night)
The more I'm searchin' for... a reason why
And the further I move... I realize
Something's dying... inside
[Chorus]
Dying inside...
9. Knock Me Out
[Music - Burtz, Eder, Hag, Pell, Mandy Meyer / Lyrics - Burtz]
Wild emotions... rulin' strong
Feel like I walk on a wire
Just one way left, can't be wrong
Come and waste me, set me on fire
A rush... when we touch
And I can't get enough
Take me down, rock me out
You feed me on
[Chorus:]
Knock me out
Knock, knock me out again
Knock me out
Knock, knock me out again
Vice for you it's paradise
Let's be partners in crime
Wildfires ragin' in your eyes
Eat me raw, don't waste... more time
A rush... when we touch
And I can't get enough
Rock me down, hungry for love
You feed me on
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Knock me out
Knock, knock me out again
Knock me out!
10. Bad To The Bone
[Music - Burtz, Eder, Hag / Lyrics - Burtz]
Hot tonight, gotta strike
Let 'em feel my stick of dynamite
Sinful, narrow
For long talks before because lust rules
[Chorus 1:]
Tonight - gonna hit and run
I'd die - for a bit of fun
No woman that survived and crawled out alive from my chambers
Beware I'd bad - bad
Beware I'm bad... to the bone
You know I'm bad - bad
You know I'm bad - to the bone
Tonight
Hunt 'em down, one by one
They can't teach you move, kinda pass the gun
So strong
I belong... to the kind that never asks for right or wrong
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2:]
Beware I'd bad - bad
Beware I'm bad... to the bone
You know I'm bad - bad
You know I'm bad - to the bone
Don't worry, you're the next!
