Калифорния - настоящий Эдем для метала. Рок-бэнды растут там, как грибы. И всё чаще мелькают названия групп, играющих, положа руку на сердце, неплохой, в целом, музон, качественный и тяжёлый... И вроде бы всё у них есть: и крики, и риффы, и пение, и свитч-контрасты, и барабанщик бешеный... Всё да не всё. Чего реально не хватает многим исполнителям, так это драйва. Именно эта составляющая и является доминантной для парней из Spineshank. Мощный порыв из ударных гитар вкупе с чумовыми барабанами разбавляет электронные сэмплы и переход вокалиста Джонни Сантоса к резким и продолжительным крикам. На диске я бы отметил композиции "Asthmatic", "The Height Of Cllousness" (абсолютная адреналиновая бомба с точки зрения драйва), "Synthetic" (менее забойная, чем две предыдущие, но весьма ритмичная композиция), "Play God" (впечатлило скрещение гитар с электро-фоном и обработкой голоса в конце; интересный переход от довольно жёсткого куплета к более спокойному, относительно, припеву) и "Seamless".
Spineshank активно используют бридж: не просто проигрыш, а характерный шепот, переходящий в крик одного рефрена ("I wonn't give in to" в "Asthmatic"). Рефрены ребята вообще очень уважают, что и доказывают как на этом, так и на следующем альбоме.
Продюсеры сразу приметили талантливых ребят и их сумасшедшую энергетику, и не прогадали. Дела у Spineshank идут в гору, а популярность растёт. Мне довелось увидеть запись из одного клуба, в котором играла команда. Достоверно могу сказать лишь одно: у меня и у монитора снесло баншю куда-то в район Кувейта и держало там примерно полтора дня, пока я не выучил всё выступление наизусть. Это то, что американцы называют awesome!!!
Что касается самого альбома, то он вышел гораздо мощнее предыдущего ("Strictly Diesel"). Тут гитары составляют одно целое с вокалом, выливаясь в один мощный поток драйва, руководимый барабанами. Любителям качественного и динамичного ню-метала - качать, покупать и отрывать с руками напрочь. |

Your disability
Kept pushing me away
It went beneath what's so real to me
And threw it all away
I underestimated
The lengths that you would have gone
To deny who you are
You threw it all away
I will keep doing this to myself
'Cause it's the only way to forget who I am
I never wanted your help
I never needed your help
This failure has to be all mine all mine now
I'll turn my back on myself
If it's my only way out
It can only help me if it hurts
I won't give into, I won't give into...
I won't become one with your lies
I never wanted your help
I never needed your help
This failure has to be all mine all mine now
I'll turn my back on myself
If it's my only way out
I'm too tired to feel anything anyway
Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!
I will keep doing this to myself
'Cause it's the only way to forget who I am
I never wanted your help
I never needed your help
This failure has to be all mine all mine now
I'll turn my back on myself
If it's my only way out
I'm too tired to feel anything anyway
I have become one with your lies
Play God.
trying to understand
how someone like you can still sleep at night
or are you too busy playing god
to fuckers that are chewing on your lies
another loser born?
fed on my fraggle mind
still I stood up on my broken knees
'cause everything that you took
gave me immunity to your disease
another life is torn?
I won't hear, I won't see
I will never be a part of your cause
'cause i'm alive and I still breathe
and your just a fucking waste of
time, what you tried to offer me
was it really worth it?
sew up this hole inside of me
'cause you'll never take it
I don't fear what you are
because you're only dangerous to what is weak
clinging to the stories you create
you make a living off of souls that bleed
another dotted line
I won't hear, I won't see
I will never be a part of your cause
'cause i'm alive and I still breathe
and your just a fucking waste of
time, what you tried to offer me
was it really worth it?
sew up this hole inside of me
'cause you'll never take it
i'm becoming of nothing
this is what you started
time, what you tried to offer me
was it really worth it?
sew up this hole inside of me
'cause you'll never take it
never take it
Seamless.
if you said that you could kill the things inside me
you're just a liar, everything inside me's dead
it's nice of you to think that I could ever be that
but i'm not, i'm just a failure instead
don't preach a story of success and gifted thinking
because in the end were gonna end up the same way
keep on living your whole life on hands and knees
'cause i'll be standing waiting, life ends up the same way
never wanted this life
because it's meaningless
gone away from me
the life you've given is a poorly painted picture
the colors running and it's staggering my life
a definition of the truth is all I wanted
not mental beatings falling short of stupidity
don't give a speech on your prolific ways of living
you speak in vain whether you think you do or not
spreading infection of the truth that leads to sick lies
you are the shame inside of me, you are mindrot
never wanted this life
because it's meaningless
gone away from me
if you said that you could kill the things inside me
you're just a liar, everything inside me's dead
it's nice of you to think that I could ever be that
but i'm not, i'm just a failure instead
you're so mistaken on the life you think I wanted
i'll give you credit for the effort you put forth
'cause as it ends you're gonna start to realize that
your fuckin' prejudice and words of wisdom go unheard
never wanted this life
because it's meaningless
gone away from me
never wanted this life....
Synthetic
I can never feel the way you do
but it still becomes me now
I can't take the way you do
but it's still inside me
synthetic solution
synthetic, i'll become
synthetic, if it makes this go away
still I waste another day of my life
and it sickens me to feel this way
now I can't make up my mind, is this right?
how, I let you get inside of me?
twist my words the way that you do
'cause it falls on deaf ears now
still, i've learned to numb your views
but they're still inside me
synthetic solution
synthetic, i'll become
synthetic, if it makes this go away
still I waste another day of my life
and it sickens me to feel this way
now I can't make up my mind, is this right?
how, I let you get inside of me?
I will never follow you...
all this time I thought I was myself
and I thought I never could become you
all this time I thought I was myself
and I thought I never could become you
wrong
still I waste another day of my life
and it sickens me to feel this way
now I can't make up my mind, is this right?
how, I let you get inside of me?
I have become synthetic
Thу Height Of Callousness
My frustration caused the callous
Turned my senses into spite
My perception with no conscience
Made the fear seem almost right
I was unaffected for so long
Now I'm fucking ruined
I was desperation for so long
Now it's fucking gone
Can I see it? Can I see it? Can I see it? Can I?
I can't even recognize myself
I turned into what destroyed it
Drown the truth out until it all makes sense again
I was unaffected for so long
Now I'm fucking ruined
I was desperation for so long
Now it's fucking gone
Take my fucking conscience from me
Try to save me from myself
Turn my fucking thoughts against me
Now my ways will be dissolved
Oh!!!!
Fuck integrity
Fuck integrity [x4]
Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!
My frustration caused the callous
Turned my senses into spite
My perception with no conscience
Made the dear seem almost right
I was unaffected for so long
Now I'm fucking ruined
I was desperation for so long
Now it's fucking gone
Take my fucking conscience from me
Try to save me from myself
Turn my fucking thoughts against me

The height of callousness
The height of callousness takes over
The height of callousness
The height of callousness it's over
Fuck integrity
Fuck integrity
