Перед вами рецензия на один из тех альбомов, за которые на такой стиль как Love Metal навесили ярлык однотипной, смазливой и неинтересной музыки. На этом можно было бы и закончить, но, как обычно, позволю себе еще немного мыслей.
Музыка привела меня в шок, потому как я где-то неделю не вынимал из плеера (хотя, нет, вынимал... и переставлял в cd-проигрыватель дома :-) ) дебютный альбом Negative, о котором напишу на днях для сравнения. Рассматриваемый же опус не имеет с предыдущей работой ничего общего. Спева скажу, что ребята пригласили клавишника, хотя это скорее коммерческий ход - у лав-металического коллектива должен быть клавишник, хотя он не привносит в музыку ничего особенного. Те мелодии, которые играются на синтезаторе, прекрасно звучали бы и в гитарном исполнении.
После первого прослушивания у меня возник вопрос, куда же вообще подевались два гитариста, которые на первом альбоме ... <вычеркнуто совестью, которая уже два месяца ждет рецензии на "War Of Love">..., но потом оказалось, что их партии задвинуты на задний план, и всякие побуждения сыграть что-то стоящее забиваются вокалом. Также не понравился до безобразия прилизанный гитарный звук и пассивность ударника. К тому же, на альбоме практичеки отсутствуют запоминающиеся и цепляющие мелодии... В общем, пора уже сказать пару утешительных слов в адрес музыкантов. В этом буду немногословен. Единственным примечательным моментом является вокал фронтмена Sentenced в песне "Until You're Mine". К сожалению, больше ничем эта вещь не запомнилась.
Итог - для ортодоксальных фанатов H.I.M. и последних работ The 69 Eyes, которые не знают о существовании таких мэтров, как To/Die/For, Charon и Poisonblack.
Лучший трек - "Frozen To Lose It All". |

Творчество группы Negative находится весьма на почтительном расстоянии от высоких стандартов, заданных финской метал-сценой. Впрочем, металом здесь и не пахнет, "Sweet And Deceitful" - это совершенно безвкусный, до предела опопсованный love-rock с жалобным вокалом, начисто лишенный мало-мальски запоминающихся мелодий. И без того ужасную картину усугубляет слабое продюсирование (и это финны?!). После знакомства с альбомом резонно возникает вопрос: как такую самодеятельность школьного уровня можно вообще издавать? |

It's all we have
This all reminds about how in love and lost we are
You stayed, alone in your sorrow
So far away
Where the sunbeams never reach
All alone and lost we are
Your loneliness
It could be here to stay
In your paradise you stay
So lost and lonely you are
In memories
You're all we used to be
A frozen broken heart
Ready to lose it all
Love's running out too fast
It's all we have
This all reminds about how in love and lost we are
3. Creeping Inside
Her love is too much for my heart
She burned me out
I felt to protect myself
From her smile so divine
And I'd like to save her
But I think it's too hard
Too hard for her and for me
And she makes me feel
My heart is creeping inside
Together we can see all incompleteness
On a different way
She keeps on staring straight and true
It makes me weak
I felt to protect myself
From her eyes too divine
And I'd like to save her
But I think it's too hard
Too hard for her and for me
4. Locked In The Dark Side
Waiting for something, something
More to live for
It has taken too long
Since I've had something to hold on
I'm locked in a darkside
Locked in a darkside
What if that all we felt inside
Is just illusion, a waste of time
And every tear we cried inside
Is just a sign we went too far
Waiting for something, something more
To fight for... finding pieces
Now I'm part of it
It's part of me
5. In My Heaven
Dreams faded
I'm frightened
Will I ever find the cure?
Mistaken, I'm waiting
When I finally hit the floor
I'm hurt and so wounded
It's gonna tear my soul apart
I'm lost in my heaven
I finally found my way to escape
Love's faded
I'm haunted
Will I finally find the cure?
Mistaken
I'm waiting
Just for you
I'm hurt and so wounded
It's gonna tear my soul apart
I'm lost in my heaven
I finally found my way
I'm hurt and so wounded
It's gonna tear my soul apart
I'm lost in my heaven
I finally found my way to escape
My way to escape (my way to escape)
My way to escape
I'm hurt and so wounded
It's gonna tear my soul apart
I'm lost in my heaven
I finally found my way
I'm hurt and so wounded
It's gonna tear my soul apart
I'm lost in my heaven
I finally found my way to escape
Found my way to escape
I'm lost in my heaven
My heaven
6. My My / Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)
My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
than to fade away
My my, hey hey
Out of the blue
And into the dark
They give you this,
but you pay for that
And once you're gone,
you can never come back
When you're out of the blue
and into the black.
The king is gone
but he's not forgotten
This is the story
of a Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out
than it is to rust
The king is gone
but he's not forgotten.
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
7. Neverending Parade
Loving arms around us
For you're the kind who needs refuge
Your loving eyes see right trough me
Cannot play saint,
Cannot pretend.
Neverending rain on your little parade
Nothing to do with a love affair
When heaven cries I will be near you
And walk with you trough all your pains.
Do not forget, what we are
Until the end, meant to be one.
When heaven cries and you are gone
You stole my soul,
It breaks my heart.
Do not forget what we are..
... and you are gone...
8. L.A. Feeding Fire
Maybe I'm not what you want
I'm not what you needed
I'm something you never got
To you I'm dead
But you don't care
Stop refusing
You don't deserve me
You're playing with fire
It burns your skin
It feels too good
You're in love with the heat
You can't get out
Fire is feeding you
Fire is a waitress
Licking your skin
Slowly but surely it starts to get in
You don't wanna get out
Fire is feeding you
Maybe it's getting late to say "nothing"
I don't care anymore
To you I'm dead but I don't care
In your nightmare - it will never end
You're playing with fire
It burns your skin
It feels too good
You're in love with the heat
You can't get out
Fire is feeding you
Fire is the waitress
Licking your skin
Slowly but surely it starts to get in
You don't wanna get out
Fire is feeding you
You're playing with fire
It burns your skin
It feels too good
You're in love with the heat
You can't get out
Fire is feeding you
Fire is the waitress
Licking your skin
Slowly but surely it starts to get in
You can't get out
Fire is feeding you
9. Until You're Mine
Afraid of all the fears I feel inside
It's hard to go on
And try to leave this all behind
Should I be afraid of
When all the beauty seems so cruel
Always somehow
I turn all my fears on you
Sometimes I run and hide my fears
Afraid and I hide until you're mine
You give me heart to carry on
It gives me hope, it makes me strong
Afraid of all your fears I'm living through
Deep inside my, my heart
I'm weak as you
Until you're mine
These waking hours killing me
Always somehow
You finally turn your fears on me, on me
It breaks me
Sometimes I run and hide my fears
Afraid and I hide until you're mine
You give me heart to carry on
You give me hope, it makes me strong
Sometimes I run and hide my fears, run and hide my fears
Afraid and I hide until you're mine, until you're mine
You give me heart to carry on, carry on
You give me hope, it makes me strong
Until you're mine, until you're mine
Run and hide
Keep the courage used to carry on
You give me hope, it makes me strong
10. About The Sorrow
From chains to freedom
From hate to love
One by one
Slowly crying and shedding tears
Love's starving
You need forgiveness
For mortal sins
Everything is blackened
From light to darkness
You will survive
Still go on, you won't be alone
Lay down with me
For tomorrow
I will be waiting
Lay down with me
Maybe tomorrow
Love won't be waiting
When your heart is empty
And consolation is all you need
Your heart is surrounded with a broken shield
No consolation, no bitter tears
Lay down with me
For tomorrow
I will be waiting
Lay down with me
Maybe tomorrow
Love won't be waiting
One last forgiveness
One last temptation
You're all I need
From light to darkness
From hate to love
That's what we are
Lay down with me
For tomorrow
I will be waiting
Lay down with me
Maybe tomorrow
Love won't be waiting
Lay down with me
For tomorrow
I will be waiting
Lay down with me
Maybe tomorrow...
Love will be waiting
11. Secret Forgiveness
You're my all
I need you beside me
Hurts too much to be apart.
Oh how sweet but still so deceitful
This life and love can be
And I was the one who never wanted
To let you know
Wanted to let you know.
As much as we're in a love
That seems so tender
And more in love than
We ever believed we could be in
Now and forever, we finally surrender
So we surrender now or never again
Sweet and kind confusion inside me
Needs to find out what ‘us' really means
Can't believe how sweet and deceitful
You and I, we both can be
And I was the one who never
Wanted to let you go
12. Angels Won't Lie
Another wasted moment
Realizing we're not real
Can you hear the angels calling
When night is young and silence comes?
You touch my face
And I break down
Dreaming on
Tonight we are safe and free
Under the wings in the safest place
I close my eyes for a while
And you are there
We fly behind the stars
Where the distance ends
Tonight
I'm sleeping with eyes wide open
You're my eyes when I am not there
These everlasting angels calling
It can't be real
This must be a dream
You touch my face
You set me free
When night is young and silence comes
You touch my face
And I break down
This can't be real
This must be a dream
You touch my face
You set me free
