| Before the Damned
Let them hail the hollow one
Bow before the damned
Forge ahead into the night
Forget the lessons of the past
No remorse for the sinner
No repent for the waking dead
Hide their faces from the light
Let the past live again
We will set in motion

16 Сентября официально вышел новый альбом мелодичных металкорщиков All that Remains. Многие этого альбома ждали, и я в том числе. И надо сказать, было что ждать. Правда, сначала я вообще не врубился в музыку. Казалось бы, чего там врубаться – попса попсой, все написано по формуле «куплет – припев – куплет – припев – соло – припев»?
На второй раз, да и на третий и четвёртый, всё встало на свои места – музыка закачала, эмоции пошли через край!
Мелодии – что надо, работа ритм-секции – отменная, рифы и соло сыграны с филигранной техникой. Вроде бы ничего нового, и в то же время альбом другой, не такой, как предыдущий «The Fall of Ideals». Ну, во-первых, звук. Гитары опять имеют отзвук консервной банки, как это было лет 5-7 назад, когда металкор набирал популярность, или лет 25-30 назад, когда только появились спид и трэш. Тоже касается и барабанов – они стали чуть громче. Во-вторых, вокал. Фил Лабонт стал ещё больше петь чистым голосом. Последняя вещь вообще спета целиком без рычания. Почему бы и нет, если в музыке упор идёт на мелодику, то вокалисту лучше петь, чем орать дурным голосом.
Вообще, наметилась тенденция к «очищению» вокала у некоторых групп жанра, и ATR в их числе. В целом я здесь не вижу однозначных хитов, как «This Calling» или «For Deepest Grey». Может, в качестве хита планировалась «Two Weeks», с припевом, который мог легко оказаться в какой-нибудь r’n’b песенке. Но зато выполнено главное условие ATR – альбом очень ровный, слушается на одном дыхании. Песни запоминаются со второго-третьего раза, и их хочется петь. И слушать. |

Спад в творчестве группы после почти универсального металкора «Fall of Ideals» был предсказуем, но чтоб он вышел настолько сильным?! Фигурально выражаясь, за два прошедших года американцы умудрились «просрать все полимеры»! В то время как самый последний эмокорщик готов впихнуть в свою музыку побольше бластбитов и заменителя вокала типа «пиг войс», дабы добиться «высокого» статуса дэткорщика, All That Remains пошли по обратному пути, убрав из музыки элементы блэка, дэта, прогрессива. Видимо, совершенно случайно под раздачу попали также хорошие соло, качевые риффы, запоминающиеся припевы (в половине песен «Overcome» - просто неоднократное повторение названия композиции) и разнообразие песен в целом. Зато прослушивание этого альбома подарит вам неоценимое знание того, что Филип Лабонт, оказывается, шепелявит... Ну да, и зачем что-то там подчищать в вокальных партиях, если добрых две трети альбома являют собою откровенный порожняк, выстроенный на обломках трэша и эмокора. Более-менее интересны «Before the Damned» и «Chiron», как отголоски музыкальной феерии «Падения идеалов», почти хит «Two Weeks» с глубоко запрятанными на заднем плане бэк-вокальными партиями орущего голоса, да кавер на «Believe in Nothing» - объективно не хуже оригинала, в чем-то даже более крепкий. Для позитивной оценки таких достижений маловато. Один из главных музыкальных обломов 2008-го года. |

We have not forgotten
We control our lives
Fallen feed on fallen now
Let the wretched have their fill
Fest not with the beast of old
Taste the fruit of ill will
We can band together now
Cast the dead from our site
Let them fall to massacre
Let the truth be our guide
Two Weeks
and you neglected I called you out don't please
I said we're stronger than this now
you resurrected mistakes years past it seemed
and they exist to still haunt you
and still you feel like the loneliness
is better replaced by this
I don't believe it this way
and I can see the fear in your eyes
I've seen it materialize
Growing stronger each day
I could see it as you turned to stone
Still clearly I can hear you say
don't leave, don't give up on me
two weeks and you ran away
I remember don't lie to me
you couldn't see that it was not that way
swear I never gave up on you
I wanted nothing but for that trust again
and brick by brick you would take it
You feared of phantoms and none exist but you
you still saw fit to destroy it
and still you feel like the loneliness
is better replaced by this
I don't believe it this way
and I can see the fear in your eyes
I've seen it materialize
growing stronger each day
I could see it as you turned to stone
still clearly I can hear you say
don't leave don't give up on me
two weeks and you ran away
I remember don't lie to me
you couldn't see that it was not that way
swear I never gave up on you
and you neglected I called you out don't please
I said we're stronger than this now
You feared of phantoms and none exist but you
you still saw fit to destroy it
and I can see the fear in your eyes
I've seen it materialize
growing stronger each day
I could see it as you turned to stone
still clearly I can hear you say
don't leave don't give up on me
two weeks you ran away
I could see it as you turned to stone
still clearly I can hear you say
don't leave don't give up on me
two weeks and you ran away
I remember don't lie to me
you couldn't see that it was not that way
swear I never gave up on you
Undone
Well hot damn!!
It's hard to tame the passion
That leads me here
No better choice no stronger voice
I'll sacrifice not fear
I've pushed through hesitation
I've seen through doubt
I'm better now within her eyes
Than I'll ever be without
We can push through
We are one in this
We are not undone
I know my limitations
I've learned from life
This great reward I'm honor bound
Not sacrifice not price
I've found my inspiration
Held in both hands
I'm fully whole in trust and care
I'm stronger
Forever In Your Hands
I Know That I Can Stand My Head High
Forget Not Where I Fall
Still I Find Why And Reason
Yet That Conflict Still Filling Me
Mistrust Venom Inside Of Me
I Am Not The Man You See
Just Look Inside Me
Trust In Me The Way I Trusted You
I Know We Could Have Done This Together
If You Believed In Me Like I Believed In You
My Heart Would Be Forever In Your Hands
How I Miss Febuary Still
Now That This Becomes The Moment
Of All Our Failures
Chiron
Have not the strongest
And closest ties been bound so long
I've called upon them
They remind me where I'm from
With deep conviction
I am connected cross the miles
With out them nothing worth relying on
It's been so long since I could say
I've needed anything stronger
We can't be wrong when we have ties that bind us
If I rely and I know the strength
In those who taught me of the
Power in the ties that bind
When I turn inward
And look for strength within my self
And demonstrations of courage
Are the result
If inspiration is wholly shared
Then more is the gain
Then I will follow
The selfless actions displayed
We are made powerful
Days Without
And now destined to be
The last one standing here
The past alive to me
And mocking hope is all I had
In weakness it hides from me
And then it infiltrates my heart
So wrong to think I had found
It was so long since I felt that at all
I had dreamed long in days without
I had so long wanted something much more
Those looks so lovingly caressed
My thoughts and still today
They scream to me
Their sweet warmth moistening my breath
I may never get away
I crave I hunger
And still I leave behind
This wreckage in my wake
I was not long inside
But still savor the taste
I'd rather hate myself for failing
Than hate myself for never having tried
Nothing will fill me
The way these passions do
The feeling tempts me and warms me
Song for the Hopeless
The day has ended
I lay awake
A soft glow over my shoulder
I'll sleep soon
Wake tomorrow and then it's all the same
And I'll destroy the memories one by one
The bitter past erased
I'll not replace
What's done is done
No belief is all that's left and I do not regret
The darkness welcomes me back home
And I am still my own
Can't take away
And I feel the pain still deeply
It seems sometimes too much to bear
I have a core within me still
My strength is there
And I am still my own
And I can't be made less
I know who I am
Do Not Obey
Never one to be held back or held down
I'd write my name so the king could see
I will follow the true declaration
And find some hope in what mankind could be
I've worked so hard
Let my deeds be my witness
And let my words flow through everyone
When free men stand
Against what would bind them
No hope for tyrants
We will over come
Do not obey
No masters now
Do not obey
Not subjects
We have held on for so long
Do not obey
Talking heads tell the masses the story
They shape the lie in the schools and the TV
Our fathers work and intent is unwritten
By the lazy who don't know they're free
I hear the story and it makes me determined
To spread the word that we can't just lay down
What we read and we see drawn before us
Is a lie and we must hold our ground
It's found in you
It's found in me
From birth to stone
We remain free as always
Relinquish
Still push harder and still the facts remains
Just one to an open end so quickly
A simple step now a small matter of time
lest not regret now I'll make you push the line
Follow the lead to failure
relinquish and pay no mind
Misplace my judgement misstep the card house falls
That will not be my legacy
This whole creation we've built through effort and time
We make this happen we hold together with pride
Overcome
Past it haunts again
The dream's alive
And forms the nightmare that has no end
Foreshadow all tomorrows
So this day to day has my core shaken
Still I raise my spirits high
I am above this
I should never have thought that
This would never end
The moment we started
Old wounds you could not mend
Five ended today
Six since the four time take away
My dreams have fallen
No more to share
Now the end remains
MY one regret like black and stained
And spring again
I fall from grace
Believe In Nothing (Nevermore Cover)
Into a strange new world,into the after
All your tears might find you've fallen too far
Take another look,take another ride
Can't we make them leave the hate behind
And I still believe in nothing
Will we ever see the shape of tomorrow?
Into the empty storm,into the formless loss of hope,
Where we can forget the game
And I still believe in nothing
Will we ever see the cure for our sorrow
Nothing is sacred when no one is saved
Nothing's forever so count your days
Nothing is final and no one is real
Pray for tomorrow and find your empty still
Nothing
