«Broken Glass» - одна из лучших записей Crowbar и, соответственно, всего сладж-метала.
Первые же пять секунд альбома сбивают слушателя с ног, убивая хардкоровой мощью и агрессией и доставляя огромное удовольствие. Вместе с тем, трэки вроде «(Cant) Turn Away from Dying» демонстрируют более мелодичную и, если так можно выразиться применительно к жанру, лиричную сторону альбома. Ансамбль “Лом” не понизил планку и не выдохся, и даже по сравнению с «Time Heals Nothing» сей диск безумно хорош. Ни одной слабой или сбавляющей темп песни, весь материал - монолитный и мозговыносящий. Гнетущая и вязкая гитарная тяжесть, мощный вокал, интересные ритмические фокусы, мастерски записанные басовые партии, травящие психику тексты, запоминающиеся и крепкие риффы. Общее настроение альбома - это не столько злоба, сколько смешение злобы с меланхолией и отчаянием, к тому же, все песни альбома целенаправленно грузят слушателя, не давая ему переключиться на что-либо другое, кроме этой музыки. «Broken Glass» - достаточно самобытный (по меркам всего метала), обладающий неповторимой атмосферой и вызывающий самые разные эмоции альбом. Ценителям сладжа придраться будет не к чему, да и остальным металлистам стоит его послушать. |

Over
It's happening over and over
Die in my own way
2. Like Broken Glass
To the nines
Prepare myself fro drowning
Anytime
I made my own world
Losing it
I rob myself of everything
Destroying my body and my mind will fail
I drawn to the sound of broken glass
Drawn to the taste of broken glass
Stillborn again
Enemy
I see my own reflection
Look at me
I made my own wounds
Live alone
Survive in isolation
Poison my body and my mind will fail
3. (Can't) Turn Away From Dying
Speak Not
Blind Eye
No Will
No Mind
In Time
Somehow
Someway
You'll Find
I never thought you could sink so low
A slave to the dying
Turn Away
Turn Away
Breath
Below
Frozen and cold
4. Wrath Of Time
Looking at me smothering you
Destroying all
Looking at me punishing you
Destroying it
Pushing you down
Pulling you down
I'm crushing all
Pushing you down
Pulling you down
I'm dragging you under
Your time is coming sooner than you will ever know
How does it feel to be so far below?
I know you never thought that I would rise again
Just know I'm stronger than you'll ever be
5. Nothing
Eating away at my body and soul
So tired of all that you've taken
I've always known that I'd be on my own
Not knowing how hard I'd fallen
In your arms
(Destroying all I ever wanted)
Now it's gone
(Losing all I ever needed)
Been so long
(Destroying all I ever wanted)
It's all gone
(You've taken all I ever needed)
Believed in all I'd ever known
Left me to die here on my own
You took it all and left me
You took it all and left me (nothing)
If I survive long enough to come back
Won't you forgive me for falling?
6. Burn Your World
Your fear
Your weakened shallowed emptiness
All that is beckoning me
For years
I've seen your lack of everything
Pushing me far beyond you
To hold
In my hands all I'll ever need
Turning the gears in my head
The sweating
I'll have to deal with it now
The Strength
I've always known that I possess
Scratching and tearing at me
The pain
In knowing all you've ever done
Turns into dust at my feet
Your end
The churning hallowed nothingness
Driving you into your grave
The sweating and bleeding
The growing and feeding
On all that is beckoning me
7. I Am Forever
Beaten man
Blinded fool
Wash it all
Wash it all
Wash it all away
In the dirt
In my filth
Smothering
Smothering
Took it all from me
The tortured earth I tread
Forever all I dread
The burning in my head
I am forever
Hand that bleed
Dying need
Pushing me
Pulling me
Taking all I had
8. Above, Below And Inbetween
Destroyed
In leaving I took the truth
I've learned
Never could I trust in you
Wasted
Those years are lost in my head
No more
In ashes now you lay
Before I end my time
I shall rise
Before I end my time
Rise above it all again
See you
You're crawling down on your knees
No tears
You'll never see tears from me
Long road
Still losing the apathy
I've learned
Learned how to walk away
9. You Know (I'll Live Again)
I chose the long hard path
I'm wandering
In self-denial for so long I bled
To find the truth in all I say and do
My darkest hour
I'm upon the suicide wall
Still I condemn myself
Look for the answer now
All I've denied myself
Kill me
In the end you know I'll live again
Remember all those things that passed me by
In looking back thru hate I lost my way
I've fallen low before but now I'm there
Just give me strength to overcome my fear
10. Reborn Thru Me
Sunken eyes
Look of death upon me
Feeling cold
Feeling tired and empty
Still I long
Can't find what I'm after
I can't sleep
Slowly die in my own world
Learn thru me
I've done it all before
Learn thru me
I've done it all
Feel the strain
Veins are lined with poison
Laid to waste
In my time of dying
