Яркий свет софитов и всемирная слава могут принести гораздо больше горя, чем настоящего счастья. К сожалению, ребятам из Twisted Sister пришлось выучить эту истину на своем собственном примере. Уже во время масштабного турне в поддержку супер-успешного альбома "Stay Hungry" в рядах группы начались ссоры, которых не было все те долгие годы, когда музыканты играли по маленьким клубам и ночевали на полу одноместных номеров отелей. К счастью, на четвертом студийнике группы "Come Out And Play" эти невзгоды не особо отразились, но все-таки некая напряженность и несобранность чувствуется уже здесь. В первую очередь, это касается музыки - простенький "уличный" хард-н-хэви здесь сделал вполне ожидаемый (и очень значительный) крен в сторону пресловутого глэм рока. Тем более, что макияж и яркие сценические костюмы ребят к этому только подталкивали. Туда же клонили и менеджеры Atlantic, в середине 80-ых глэм продавался просто потрясающе и маэстро Ди Снайдер явно решил последовать советам своего "начальства". На этом диске можно найти чистейшую запись ("Come Out And Play" - пожалуй, единственный технически идеальный альбом группы) и практически полную пропажу жестких и энергичных композиций. Им на смену пришли сглаженный и чисто "глэмстерский" саунд и прямолинейные "глэмстерские" песни, среди которых можно найти много интересного. Например, такие откровенно коммерческие ходы, как запись кавера старого поп-хита ("Leader Of The Pack") и выпуск его в качества сингла, или приукрашивание закоса под старенький рок-н-ролл 60-ых ("Be Chrool To Your Scuel") приглашенными супер-звездами, а именно Элисом Купером, Брайаном Сетцером и Билли Джоэлом. Также в наличии повторение самих себя в заглавной "Come Out And Play" и "You Want What We Got" - песни хорошие, но вызывают сильнейшее чувство дежа вю. К счастью, есть на диске и парочка истинных шедевров в виде потрясающе атмосферной любовно-трагической саги "The Fire Still Burns" и великой баллады на все времена "I Believe In You", которую сколько не слушай - слезы на глаза все равно сами по себе наворачиваются. Также вполне хороши грустная история одиночества в большом городе "Out On The Streets" и ураганный боевик "Kill Or Be Killed". В целом, получается, что на альбоме полным-полно положительных моментов, а совсем плохих вообще нет. И тем не менее - больше 8 баллов я "Come Out And Play" поставить не могу. Талант не пропьешь, конечно, но деградация заметна невооруженным глазом. Twisted Sister потеряли именно то, чем всегда выделялись – свой уникальный, мощный и задорный, “уличный” саунд. А приобрели всего лишь стандартный глэмовый образ, который в те времена можно было грести большой и очень широкой лопатой. Так что рекомендуется всем любителям музыки 80-ых - уж эта атмосфера здесь воссоздана на отлично. (Диск предоставлен компанией Art Music Group) |

Наконец-то я приобрел сей CD одной из моих самых любимых еще в школе групп!Никогда не любил подобных коллективов, но этот альбом исключение. Ностальгия прет сразу! Приоритеты для меня как были в 85 году, так и остались в 2002. Это Come out and play, I believe in rock n roll , Kill or be killed. Но главная изюминка этого, бесспорно лучшего, альбома группы, мегахит-баллада I believe in you. Необходимо отметить довольное плотное звучание гитар и, конечно же, просто отличный вокал
Ди Снайдера. На паре песен ему подпел небезывестный Элис Купер. Также отмечу довольно неплохое оформление пиратского CD-c буклетом и хорошим бонусом - балладой King of fool, которую я раньше не слышал. Вот хороший пример как надо вовремя распаться, и стать культовой группой. Хотя у меня такое мнение, что нас когда-нибудь будет ожидать и ее реюнион. |

После выхода гениального альбома «Stay Hungry» банда неимоверно сильно подняла свой статус, и не будь эта группа такой культовой, то я бы назвал её группой одного альбома. Но и правда после предыдущего альбома она ничего стоящего не выпустила, это же мнение относится и к рассматриваемому диску. Коллектив не стал дальше развиваться, и так и выпустил альбом с посредственным качеством и что самое плохое - только с парочкой свежих идей. Диск по самые никуда утыкан штампами и самоповторами, к тому же стало много места для такого стиля как глэм рок, что повлекло за собой резкое упрощение мелодики, в угоду её мощности и напевности. Но действительно новых и интересных композиций на альбоме непростительно мало. Хотя и те что есть, являются несомненными классическими номерами, которые уже некоторые группы потрудились перепеть. Я веду речь о потрясающем хоррор боевике «The Fire Still Burns», который без сомнений является продолжением композиции «Burn In Hell» - нашумевшей песни из предыдущего альбома «Stay Hungry». Вторым сильнейшим треком нужно назвать мистическую и мрачноватую балладу «I Believe In You». Собственно на этом золото и заканчивается, сменяясь парочкой серебреных слитков в виде заглавного боевика «Come Out And Play» и двух забойных номеров «Out In The Streets» и «Kill Or Be Killed». Заканчивает диск тоже не совсем плохая тема «King Of The Fools», отличающаяся своим долгоиграющим размером, тягучим ритмом и запоминающимся мощным припевом. Что ж, конечно, нельзя ждать сразу после шедевра какого-то слишком уж хорошего продолжения, но данный альбом чересчур самонадеянно подаётся, будто бы на славе предыдущего, планирует выехать в свет, и это у него с ошеломительным треском не получается. В целом, «Come Out And Play» это работа среднего пошиба, но и меньше шести баллов я поставить ей не могу, поскольку даже так диск можно с завидным успехом слушать сколько угодно, когда некоторых новичков тяжело просто дослушать до конца. Думаю, что настоящие поклонники не будут разочарованы, но только ими пластинка и ограничивается… |

Don't be afraid of the night, there's a light in the dark burning bright
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid of the light
Come inside our world, an oyster 'round a pearl
You'll all be safe inside, a perfect place to hide, you'll see
Fun by decree
Ride above the storm, the average and the norm
A newfound ecstasy, a wild fantasy come true
This one's for you
Oh, welcome to our show
Oh, welcome to our life
Just follow me and you'll set yourself free
Now won't you come out and play
CHORUS:
Come out and play, come on out and play
Come out and play, come on out and play
Come out and play, come on out and play
Come out and play, come on out and play
Solo - Jay Jay
Join our cavalcade, enter the world you made
We're only here for you to do what you won't do, you know
On with the show
A place where fallacy becomes reality
We'll spin your head around, we're programmed to astound, stand by
Prepare to fly
Oh, welcome to our show
Oh, welcome to our life
Just follow me and you'll think that you're free
Now won't you come out and play
REPEAT CHORUS
LEADER OF THE PACK
(words & music: Morton/Greenwich/Barry)
Hey, is he really goin' out with her?
There he is, let's ask him
Hey man, is that your ring she's wearin'?
Uh huh
Man, it must be great ridin' with her
Are you pickin' her up after school today?
Uh huh
By the way, where'd you meet her?
I met her at the candy store
She turned around and smiled at me
You get the picture?
Yeah, we see
That's when she fell for
The leader of the pack
Her folks were always putting me down (down, down)
They said I came from the wrong side of town (they said he came from the wrong side of town)
They told her that I was bad but she knew I was sad
That's why she fell for
The leader of the pack
One day her dad said find someone new (new, new)
She had to tell me that we were through (? you better go find somebody new)
I stood there and asked her why but all she could do was cry
"I'm sorry I hurt you"
The leader of the pack
She was so small
As she kissed me goodbye her tears were beginning to show
And as she drove away on that rainy night I begged her to go slow
If she heard I'll never know
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through
The gang they all stop and stare, I can't hide my tears but I don't care
I'll never forget her
The leader of the pack
Leader of the pack
And now she's gone (12x)
YOU WANT WHAT WE GOT
(words & music: D. Snider)
CHORUS:
I know what you want
You want what we got
I know what you want
You want what we got
Sometimes you drive me mad with the things you say and do
You act like we're so bad, well, I got a message for you
You don't fool anyone with your jealousy
You want it all and give us none, that ain't the way it's gonna be
REPEAT CHORUS
Checkmate we named your tune, don't give me your alibies
We burst your red balloon, maybe now you realize
When you laugh and put us down, you're tryin' to cover up your fears
Just like a circus clown, it's just a mask, just a mask to hide your tears
REPEAT CHORUS
You want it, we got it
We got it, you don't
You want it, we got it
We got it, you won't
You want it, we got it
We got it, you don't
You want it, we got it
We got it, you won't
Solo - Jay Jay
REPEAT CHORUS (2x)
I know what you want (you want it)
You want what we got (we got it)
I know what you want (you want it)
You want what we got
I know what you want (I know what I got)
You want what we got (I got what they got)
I know what you want (we want what I got)
You want what we got (they want what we got)
I BELIEVE IN ROCK 'N' ROLL
(words & music: D. Snider)
Oh yeah, check it out
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of rock
And to the point of view for which it stands
One music under one God, yes, even God loves rock 'n' roll
With liberty and justice for all lands
RELEASE:
Every day I work so hard
Every day I'm dealt the cards
Every day I'm told exactly what to do
Every day I lose control
Every day I rock 'n' roll
Every day, it's gonna help to see me through
CHORUS:
I believe in rock 'n' roll
I believe in rock 'n' roll
I believe in rock 'n' roll
I believe in rock 'n' roll
Do you take this music to be your lawfully wedded rock
To have and hold in sickness and in health
For richer or for poorer, for better or for worse
Together until death comes to yourself?
REPEAT RELEASE
REPEAT CHORUS
Solo - Eddie
Sister says:
Oh, would that my words were written down
Would that they were inscribed on a record
That with an iron fist and led zeppelin
They were cut in the rock forever
But as for me, I know that heavy metal lives
And that it will at last stand forth upon the dust that I myself shall see
My own ears not another's shall behold it
And from my flesh I shall see it rock
My inmost being is consumed with longing
This is the word of the rocker
REPEAT CHORUS (2x)
THE FIRE STILL BURNS
(words & music: D. Snider)
You thought it was gone but the fire goes on and I thought you knew me
I told you before 'til I settle the score that I'll never run free
I have enough pain and anger in my brain to last many lifetimes
Yet still it grows and the more that it shows I won't have peace of mind
CHORUS:
The fire, the fire still burns
The fire, the fire still burns
I have a dream and as strange as it seems, there's no embers glowing
The fire's gone out and there's no need to shout 'cause no anger's showing
But it's not true, nothing I ever do seems to ease my fury
Get out of my way, I'm the hangman today and the judge and jury
REPEAT CHORUS (2x)
Solo - Eddie
Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns
Fire, fire still burns
Solo - Jay Jay
REPEAT CHORUS (3x)
BE CHROOL TO YOUR SCUEL
(words & music: D. Snider)
CHORUS:
Be cruel to your school 'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school in the name of rock 'n' roll
Be cruel to your school just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school in the name of rock 'n' roll
Well, I don't think I'll make it through another day, it's eight o'clock and all ain't well
My brain hurts so much it's stratin' to decay and I'm livin' in my private hell
Didn't somebody tell me this would be so great, be the best thing I ever had?
How come they never told me 'bout the word "exaggerate"
, how'd somethin' so good get so bad?
'Cause hey, I gotta know am I slow?
Where do I go from here?
Do abc's and 123's
Mean that much to me, that much to me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me
REPEAT CHORUS
Sing it, Alice
I see them walkin' 'round like the livin' dead, ain't they got nothin' between their ears?
How come they don't seem to hear a single word I say, they ain't the only one who's bored to tears
Now there must be a better way to educate 'cause this way ain't workin' like it should
Can't they just invent a pill or frozen concentrate that makes you smarter and taste, mmm, so good
'Cause hey, I gotta know what I'll have to show
When I hi hi ho it from here
Will I be in pain or will I have a brain
Or will I go insane, I've gone insay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ane
Solo - sax: Clarence Clemons, guitar: Brian Setzer
'Cause hey, I gotta know what I'll have to show
When I hi hi ho it from here
Do abc's and 123's
Mean that much to me, that much to me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me
REPEAT CHORUS (2x)
Alright
I BELIEVE IN YOU
(words & music: D. Snider)
Why does no one seem to understand that it's more than love I need
It's so hard to keep your faith alive when nobody else believes
Oh, I need someone there for me, need someone who can see, need someone to show me
Oh, that they are there to help me fight, if I fall, to set me right, someone there to hold the light
Won't someone say
CHORUS:
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
It's so hard to do it all yourself, fighting for your dreams alone
When the toy's upon the highest shelf, a child's tears soon become stone
Oh, why does no one lend a hand, why does no one understand why I need to make a stand
Oh, it's so hard to carry on when all your hope is gone, all your dreams have come undone
I need to hear
REPEAT CHORUS
Solo - Eddie
Why won't someone say these words, are they really so absurd, must they always go unheard?
Oh, if someone needed the light, I'd be there to help them fight, if they fell, I'd set them right
And then I'd say
REPEAT CHORUS
I believe in you
Won't someone say I believe in you
I believe in you
Won't someone say I believe in you
I need to hear I believe in you
I believe in you
OUT ON THE STREETS
(words & music: D. Snider)
I walk alone through sleepless nights
I'm just another number, somethin' just ain't right
Searchin' for somethin' in this human zoo
Kaleidoscope of faces, maybe, maybe it might be you
I feel like I lost my way
Things get darker every day that I stay
CHORUS:
You're out on the streets, livin' on your own
You're out on the streets, so far from home
When you're out on the streets you can't understand what's goin' on
You're out on the streets, your heart's your only home
The mind it wanders through shattered dreams
Hours pass in seconds and my heart, it screams
I can't fight the past, I force back all of my tears
'Cause there ain't no turnin' back, minutes, minutes turn to years
Someone listen to my prayers
Can't help feelin' no one cares, no one dares
REPEAT CHORUS
Solo - Eddie
Maybe there's a place for me
Is my dreaming to be free, fantasy
REPEAT CHORUS
You're out on the streets, you're livin' on your own
You're out on the streets, so far, so far from home
When you're out on the streets I can't understand what's goin' on
You're out on the streets, your heart's your only home
LOOKIN' OUT FOR #1
(words & music: D. Snider)
They always told me I must try to be like everyone in the nation
Go with the flow, remember me is we, there must be no deviation
Well, now I think that I'll go my own way, I've got my own point of view
I just don't care what other people say, I do what I wanna do
You know that I'm ready, I'm ready to rock
You know that I'm ready, I'm ready to rock
Gonna rock
I'm lookin' out for number one (number one)
I'm lookin' out for number one (number one)
I'm lookin' out for number one (number one)
I'm lookin' out for number one (number one)
The time has come for you to make a stand, you've got to do things your own way
Forget about the style, forget the brand, 'cause every dog has his own day
It doesn't matter what the others think, what counts is do you like you
You think you're drownin' but you'll never sink, just do what you wanna do
You better get ready, get ready to rock
You better get ready, get ready to rock
Gotta rock
Solo - Jay Jay
You know that we're ready, we're ready to rock
You know that we're ready, we're ready to rock
Gotta rock
We're lookin' out for number one (number one)
We're lookin' out for number one (number one)
We're lookin' out for number one (number one)
We're lookin' out for number one (number one)
We're lookin' out for number one (number one)
We're lookin' out for number one (number one)
We're lookin' out for number one (number one)
We're lookin' out for, out for number one
Yeah
KILL OR BE KILLED
(words & music: D. Snider)
Evil's comin', fight the fire, push has come to shove
Let's all pray, we need the help of death from up above
We must fight, we won't surrender, the king will never change
Hold the line, there's no contender, the outcome's prearranged
CHORUS:
It's killed or be killed, live or let die
Kill or be killed, though you don't know why
It's kill or be killed, rock or let roll
Kill or be killed, burn or save your soul
Death is certain and there's no question, life's not quite you see
Pick your path and make decisions for eternity
Choose your weapons, this war started long before you came
Fight the good fight, let's be sure they'll never rise again
REPEAT CHORUS
Solo - Jay Jay
Don't sleep in the fire, have faith and desire
Then fight for your life and be free
REPEAT CHORUS (2x)
KING OF THE FOOLS
(words & music: D. Snider)
Look around me all I see
Thousands of faces wanting me
How can I lead, how can I rule?
When I'm the king of the fools
What kind of kingdom has no throne?
No crown or castle live I own
I don't have silver, gold or jewels
Yet I'm a king, king of the fools
BRIDGE:
And I can't help believin', the world is on my side
No, I can't help believin' in my heart
But I can't stop this feeling that I should run and hide
So before I die I'll sit and wonder why, oh, I'll wonder why
King of the fools, who face the world defiantly
King of the fools, understanding less than me
King of the fools, oh, I'm the king, king of the fools
The outside world can't understand
Just who we are or what I am
Well, we don't want their life or rules
I'll be the king, king of the fools
King of the fools, I proudly rule for all to see
King of the fools, there's nothing else I'd rather be
King of the fools, yes I'm the king, king of the fools
King of the fools, king of the fools
Solo - Eddie
REPEAT BRIDGE
King of the fools, I hear them laugh and shout at me
King of the fools, they shake their heads in disbelief
King of the fools, oh, I'm the king, king of the fools
King of the fools, who are these people to cast stones
King of the fools, better a fool than just a clone
King of the fools, yes, I'm the king, king of the fools
King of the fools, king of the fools
