Когда мы вспоминаем скандинавский волосатый метал, то на ум приходят, конечно же, Europe. Кто копнет чуть глубже, вспомнят о TNT и Treat. А вот о датском коллективе Fate как-то не принято вспоминать. И это при том, что их второй альбом "A Matter of Attitude" уступает знаменитому альбому "Европы" того же 1986 года только по причине отсутствия супер-хита, равного "Final Countdown".
Во-первых, необычно, что поп-металическая группа обошлась без пауэр-баллад. Т.е. совсем, представляете? Так что имейте в виду, что альбом исключительно энергичен, динамичен и весел. Протяжные соло, "фирменные" ударные, прошедшие электронную обработку и жгучий вокал. Все то, за что мы любим хард-рок того десятилетия.
Лучшая песня на альбоме - "I Can't Stand Losing You". Грандиозный припев хором и бьющая наповал мелодия. При правильной раскрутке мог бы получиться колоссальный радио-хит. "Hard as a Rock", "Farrah", "The Hunter" - поп-металические боевики как на подбор. Еще один потенциальный суперхит "Summer Love" взрывает середину диска.
При таком отличном материале, группе так и не удалось вырваться дальше чартов Северной Европы, что совершенно возмутительно. Отличный вокал Jeff "Lox" Limbo и потрясные шред-запилы Hank Shermann соответствуют самым высоким стандартам, заданным американцами. А по мелодике и техничности Fate превосходят многих, что считались звездами в те годы.
Увы, не каждый талант пробивает себе дорогу. Это - абсолютно классический альбом из эпицентра волосатого метала 80-х годов. Категорически рекомендован. |

I won't stop, I won't stop this time
I want all I can get
Rock 'n' roll was meant to be
Like one 'n' one adds up to three
It's in my blood, straight from my heart
Take me, take me, can't you see
I'm jumping up 'n' down on the MTV
Royal flush, baby, I hold the cards
I won't stop, I won't stop this time
I'm gonna get what I came for
I won't stop, I won't stop this time
Want all I can get
I'm only seventeen
I tell the magazines
Just take a look at me
I live your fantasy
I won't stop, I won't stop this time
I'm gonna get what I came for
I won't stop, I won't stop this time
Want all I can get
I'm only seventeen
I tell the magazines
Just take a look at me
I live your fantasy
I won't stop, I won't stop this time
I'm gonna get what I came for
I won't stop, I won't stop this time
Want all I can get
I won't stop, I won't stop this time
I'm gonna get what I came for
I won't stop, I won't stop this time
2. Hard As A Rock
Now you see me
Now you don't
When I say I will
Baby, you know I won't
I bring you silver and
Turn it into dust
Gave you my heart
Baby, filled up with lust
I wanna give your life reason
But give you nothing else but hope
I rock hard, hard as a rock
I rock hard, hard as a rock
You think it's complicated
I think you're right
I say I'm yours forever
But I'm not home at night
Love and affection
I give it to you
I give it to the whole wide world
But still I stay true
I don't wanna see you crying
And I will make it up to you
I rock hard, hard as a rock
I rock hard, hard as a rock
I rock hard, hard as a rock
I rock hard, hard as a rock
Juvenile decay, baby
Is how it may appear
I'll bring it all together
I'm gonna make it clear
I got my cards on the table
And I will give all I got
'Cos I rock hard, hard as a rock
I rock hard, hard as a rock
I rock hard, hard as a rock
I rock hard, hard as a rock
3. I Can't Stand Losing You
The smell of your body
Is still in the sheets
I look out the window
And watch you as you fade away
Into the streets
Words we have spoken
Still fill this room
They never fulfilled their mission
'Cause you left me much too soon
I can't stand losing you
I couldn't live without you
I'm begging you, don't break down
What took so long to build
I can't stand losing you
I couldn't live without you
I'm begging you, don't break down
What took so long to build
I cry out in anger
But what does it help
'Cause when I think of who's to blame
I can only think of myself
I still feel this passion
You don't seem to care
I try to ignore it but it's so clear
Our love vanished into the air
I can't stand losing you
I couldn't live without you
I'm begging you don't, break down
What took so long to build
I can't stand losing you
I couldn't live without you
I'm begging you, don't break down
What took so long to build
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
Still I'm losing you
I sent you a letter
Got one in return
I couldn't believe just what I read
It seems you've finally learned
It said "baby forgive me
I've been such a fool
I want to come back and baby, this time
I'll stick to the rules"
I can't stand losing you
I couldn't live without you
I'm begging you, don't break down
What took so long to build
I can't stand losing you
I just couldn't live without you, girl
I'm begging you, don't break down
What took so long to build
I can't stand losing you
Couldn't live without you
Don't break down
I can't stand losing you
Couldn't live without you
Don't break down
4. Point Of No Return
There's a fire deep inside
As I race across the sky
A million light years maybe more
In a wink of an eye
Climbed a mountain so high
And I dived the deepest sea
When I think I'm in control
I lose the power in me
Yes indeed
Is it pain or is it thrills
Is it a demon in my soul
I see the fires of hell
But I never felt so cold
I broke the speed of sound
Flying up the Milky Way
Thought it was imagination
So I couldn't help but say
You got to let me know
Is it really love I'm feeling inside?
Then the page has turned
Is it really love that I just can't hide
I've crossed the point of no return
Feel the energy inside
Oh lord! It drove me wild
But like Samson with Delilah
I was just a child
Felt I had the universe
In the palm of my hand
Need a simple explanation
One that I can understand
You got to let me know
Is it really love I'm feeling inside?
Then the page has turned
Is it really love that I just can't hide
I've crossed the point of no return
I was looking in the mirror
Staring at myself
Searched beyond the vision
Found somebody else
You can only feel pleasure
If you've experienced pain
I don't know where I am
But here I go again
You got to let me know
Is it really love I'm feeling inside?
Then the page has turned
Is it really love that I just can't hide
I've crossed the point of no return
Is it really love I'm feeling inside?
Then the page has turned
Is it really love that I just can't hide
I've crossed the point of no return
5. Hunter
In the middle of the night
On spiked heels and pants so tight
On a dark and empty alley
On the way home to the kids
She works nine to five
But that won't keep them alive
When the sun goes down
And they're safe and sound
She goes hunting in the streets
Never knowing who she'll meet
She's a hunter, hunter at night
She goes hunting in the streets
Hunter, hunter at night
Hunter, hunter at night
She's the girl that you can meet
Hunter, hunter at night
She was young and threw the dice
Didn't mind to sacrifice
Her youth to a young well spoken man
Now she's paying the price
Through a mist of rain and tears
She hears voices in her ears
A different man for every hour
And a pain that won't disappear
Never knowing who'll be near
She's a hunter, hunter at night
Hunter, hunter at night
Hunter, hunter at night
She's the girl that you can meet
Hunter, hunter at night
(She's a) hunter, hunter at night
She goes hunting in the streets
Hunter, hunter at night
Hunter, hunter at night
She's the girl that you can meet
Hunter, hunter at night
Hunter, hunter at night
Hunter, hunter at night
She's the girl that you can meet
Hunter, hunter at night
6. Summerlove
Jenny where did you go
Where were you when I needed you so
Oh, oh Jenny my shining star
Maybe I took you a little too far
Like every summerlove it didn't last
And now all I can say is
She was my summerlove
My one and only
Like every summerlove
She left me lonely
Oh baby, it broke my heart in two
This silly summer rendez vous
Remember I almost died
The night you kissed me and waved goodbye
Like every summerlove it didn't last
Now all I can say is
She was my summerlove
My one and only
Like every summerlove
She left me lonely
Now all I got is a photograph
Of our names in the sand
But I guess the tide washed it away
Our love slipped through our hands
She was my summerlove
My one and only
Like every summerlove
She left me lonely
She was my summerlove
My one and only
Like every summerlove
She left me lonely
She was my summerlove
My one and only
Like every summerlove
She left me lonely
7. Farrah
Farrah remembers when she was in school
Wasn't the wisest kid but she had a secret tool
She did all her homework riding in a car
When things got tough she just let down her bra
She said take your time
Take a little of mine
'Cos you never know just what you might find
Right down the line
I'm gonna get what's mine
I'm gonna make you spend your last dime
So Farrah got out of school and it felt good
She said now it's time to head for Hollywood
With a talent like hers she just can't be denied
And signed a deal in a waterbed late one night
Take your time
Take a little of mine
'Cos you never know just what you might find
Right down the line
I'm gonna get what's mine
I'm gonna make you spend your last dime
Now that I'm a star it's time to find a man
Someone who appreciates and understands
That life is easy if you travel with the sun
You know, this time I might head for Washington
Take your time
Take a little of mine
'Cos you never know just what you might find
Right down the line
I'm gonna get what's mine
I'm gonna make you spend your last dime
Take your time
Take a little of mine
'Cos you never know just what you might find
Right down the line
I'm gonna get what's mine
I'm gonna make you spend
I'm gonna make you spend
8. Get Up And Go
Gino is a motorbike dude, babe
A real hot son of a bitch
Sing and dance and raise hell
All over the place
That's all he wanna do
He says I don't mind
'Cause I'm feeling fine
If you wanna hang tough
Give me a sign
No matter what they say
I'm gonna do it my way
I'm gonna get up and go (go)
I'm gonna get up and go
I'm gonna get up and go (go)
I'm gonna get up and go
Gino's got a hell of a woman
Hourglass body an' all
She's got long legs, big smile, beautiful eyes
He's got it covered well you might say
Hang on and I won't let go
'Cause my girlfriend says
She loves me so
No matter what they say
I'm gonna do it my way
I'm gonna get up and go (go)
I'm gonna get up and go
I'm gonna get up and go (go)
I'm gonna get up and go
Some say he's a rude dude
It's a matter of attitude
He says yes when some say no
He's gonna tell us when to get up and go
G-g-g-g-g-g-go!
No matter what they say
I'm gonna do it my own way
I'm gonna get up and go (go)
Get up and go
I'm gonna get up and go (go)
Get up and go
No matter what they say
Gonna do it my own way
Hang on if you wanna hang tough
Do you read me, I can't get enough
Can't let go, can't resist
9. Limbo A Go Go
Oh people, I ain't got anything
I will give you half
If you can solve this mystery
Money doesn't buy everything
I'm sure you must have heard
But what it doesn't I like to see
They tell me this, they tell me that
But as far as I can see
You won't get nothing here for free
Love is all I heard somebody say
But love and that alone won't make the pay
Looking rich and driving uptown
Won't make me float but I'll smile as I go down
I don't mind philosophy
From the back of a Cadillac
Made up two feet above the street
It's just that I don't have the wheels
To spin my mind around
I just want something to eat
Love is all I heard somebody say
But love and that alone won't make the pay
Looking rich and driving uptown
Won't make me float but I'll smile as I go down
Love is all I heard somebody say
Love is all I heard somebody say
But love and that alone won't make the pay
Looking rich and driving uptown
Won't make me float but I'll smile as I go down
Love is all I heard somebody say
But love and that alone won't make the pay
Looking rich and driving uptown
Won't make me float but I'll smile as I go down
10. Do It
I ain't got a dime
I'm always broke
But I got a feather in my hat
I'm a babbling swaggering mean old man
I'm the coolest cat
When I come swinging down the street
The chicks get hotter than as hell
I love women and wine
Got plenty of time
That's my game
You oughta do the same
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
I gotta tell everybody to do it
'Cause there really ain't nothing
Really ain't nothing to it
I'm not the new sensation
I grow my hair as I please
Really don't care too much about fashion
I've got pages on my knees
Not looking for anything
'Cos I got all I need
I love women and wine
Got plenty of time
That's my game
You oughta do the same
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
I gotta tell everybody to do it
'Cause there really ain't nothing
Really ain't nothing to it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
I gotta tell everybody to do it
'Cause there really ain't nothing
Really ain't nothing to it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
I gotta tell everybody to do it
'Cause there really ain't nothing
Really ain't nothing to it
There really ain't nothing
Really ain't nothing to it
There really ain't nothing
Really ain't nothing to it
