Делать деньги на чувстве ностальгии - весьма неэтичная вещь! Ну вот, скажите мне, способен ли настоящий поклонник Доро пройти мимо ее нового альбома с ТАКОЙ обложкой, которая практически в чистую списана с великолепного "Angels Never Die"? Конечно, внутри вновь просыпается надежда, что на этот раз Дороти уж точно завязала со всеми экспериментами и записала отличный альбом в хард роковом или AOR'ном стиле. Три ха-ха! Мадам Пеш даже и не подумала о таком ретроградстве! Теперь у нее появилась новая идея - записать новый альбом "как можно проще". Сказано - сделано. Впервые со времен "Force Majeure" материал записывала постоянная гастрольная команда Доро, почти обошлось без приглашения наемных музыкантов (исключение составил лишь старый знакомый Крис Лиетц). Правда, гостевых соавторов никто не отменял, и, пусть и виде небольших соло партий, на альбоме отметились такие известные люди как Крис Кэффери, Михаель Восс и даже сам Расс Бэллард! Для пущего нагнетания "простоты" инструменты были настроены на полтона ниже, запись проводилась достаточно небрежно, и сведение полностью укрепило этакий "гаражный" саунд альбома. Да, да, уже можно выписывать в столбик на бумажку, перечень издевательств мадам Пеш над своими преданными поклонниками - электроника в 1995 году, индастриал в 1998, музыкальная каша в 2000, вот теперь еще и некие заигрывания с давно скончавшимся гранжем в 2002. Жаловаться по этому поводу я уже откровенно устал, так что лучше перейдем к песням. Хотя ничего особенно радующего душу здесь не найти - большая часть композиций вторична и предсказуема до мозга костей. Неплохо выделяются отличный скоростной боевик "Always Live To Win", весьма энергичная полу баллада "Wild Heart" и забойный шлягер "Chained". Из традиционно-лирических композиций можно отметить парочку чертовски грустных и меланхоличных баллад "Undying" и "Fight By Your Side". Ну а единственной по-настоящему цепляющей и оригинальной песней на диске однозначно является мрачнейший готический хит "Descent", с гостевым вокалом Питера Стила из Type O Negative. В целом, "Fight" в очередной раз получает от меня семерку. Доро ОПЯТЬ выпустила достойную, но абсолютно не захватывающую работу. Если и следующий студийник продолжит эту "славную" традицию - уже будет полная клиника. |

Отличная работа. По другому не скажешь. Замечательный вокал - но это и так понятно. Добротная лирика (особенно силен в этом плане трэк "Hoffnung" - если вы конечно понимаете немецкий). +1 за работу звукорежесеров - слушайте этот диск в наушниках иначе много потеряете. Сыгранно все безупречно придраться не к чему. -1 за перегруженность балладами но этим фрау Пеш всегда страдала. -1 альбом в целом легковат. И мои фавориты: "Fight" - просто забойный трэк только ради него стоит диск купить, "Sister Darkness", "Hoffnung" |

And I hope we stand alike
We gotta fight
Gotta fight
Something the underneath
That should never be ignored
Like a lie that fades away
But will never lead to truth
I'm often left without a thing
'Cause I can't fake it at all
I seek the truth, withstand the pain
And I know what I feel
When I feel my heart is right
I gotta fight
And I hope we stand alike
Gotta fight
Gotta fight
Nobody cares and nobody dares
Such a lonely way
Nobody cares, nobody dares
'Cause I know what I feel
When I feel my heart is right
Gotta fight
And I hope we stand alike
Gotta fight
And I know I will survive
Gotta fight
And I hope we stand alive
Gotta fight
Gotta fight
Gotta fight
Fight
Always live to win
(Pesch/Lietz)
Feels your life is just a living hell
But you know that you can
That you'll do it well
Come on! You only live to tell
Always live to win, say never die
You know that's the way
You will always try
Come on! Only live to win
'Cause this life is a game
Where you only live to win
Life is a pain
But it pays off in the end
Life is in vain
If you don't give everything
Life is a game
And you always, always live to win
Many times is just a mile away
You know that it's now
That you reach your aim
Come on! Only go ahead
It's getting harder more and more you try
It takes what it takes
In an endless fight
Come on! It's only one more step
'Cause this life is a game
Where you only live to win
Life is a pain
But it pays off in the end
Life is in vain
If you don't give everything
Life is a game
And you always, always live to win
Always, always, always, always, always
Always live to win
Live to win
Live to win
Life is a game
Where you only live to win
Life is a pain
But it pays off in the end
Life is in vain
If you don't give everything
Life is a game
And you always, always live to win

It's one illusion
It's one for all, we're gonna pay
Too much confusion
So much abuse, can't get away
It's raining blood before my eyes
It's getting dark, nowhere to hide
It's one life and one mind
We're so blind, no one sees
It's a slow ride but a sure sign
We're all soon history, mes amis!
Descent
Descent
We hope that somewhere
Someone will stand up and fight
It's all a big lie
This life we live is such a crime
It's raining blood before my eyes
Glow in the dark, no place to hide
It's one life and one mind
We're all blind, can't you see?
It's the slow ride but a sure sign
We're all soon history, mes amis!
Descent
Is this the end?
Descent
This is the end
It's raining blood before my eyes
Glow in the dark, no place to hide

We're so blind, can't you see?
It's a slow ride but a sure sign
We're all die miserably
It's one life and one mind
We're so blind, no one sees
It's the slow ride but a sure sign
We're all soon history, mes amis!

Salvaje
(Pesch/Beauvoir/Puri)
I drive with Lemmy down Woodland Hills
You know it's feeling good, it's overkill
We're smoking, drinking, singing to "Snakebite Love"
We're joking, laughing, man, I can't get enough
It feels so good
Understood
Like it should
Mi siento libre, salvaje
Sin miedo
Libre, intocable
Sin miedo
Libre, intocable
The record's coming out, I'm back on the road
It's what I love the most, it's overload
I see the fans, my friends, it feels like family
It's what I'm living for, you know what I mean
'Cause it's feeling good
Like it should
Understood
Mi siento libre, salvaje
Sin miedo
Libre, intocable
Sin miedo
Libre, intocable
Mi siento libre
I take you with me whatever I go
Mi siento libre, salvaje
Sin miedo
Libre, intocable
Sin miedo
Libre, salvaje
Sin miedo
Libre, intocable
Sin miedo
Libre, intocable
Undying
(Pesch/Scruggs)
Lately I've been thinking
That forever is just a lie
'Cause I've remembered all the pain I felt
When my only true love died
But last night I got the feeling
There was a spirit in the air
I lit a candle and I held my breath
I swear I saw you standing there
You spoke to me in whispers
And I melted at what I heard
There were echoes from the other side
In each and every word
Said love is undying
True love never dies
We'll meet up again 'cause love has no end
No, love is undying
I'm so glad I saw you
I shivered inside
When you closed your eyes
But love is undying
And last night I dreamed a dream of you
Where you took me to the other side
You looked so happy, not a trace of tears
And I could not help but cry
You said that I wasn't ready
To tell my world goodbye
But you'd wait for me until the end of time
And forever is not a lie
Love is undying
True love never dies
We'll meet up again 'cause love has no end
No, love is undying
I'm so glad I saw you
I shivered inside
When you said goodbye
But love is undying
Love is undying
Undying
Undying
Love is undying
True love never dies
We'll meet up again 'cause love has no end
No, love is undying
I'm so glad I saw you
I shivered inside
When you said goodbye
But love is undying
Love is undying
There's no denying
You're heaven sent, you came and you went
But love in undying
Love is undying
Love is undying
Love is undying
Love is undying
Legends never die
(Simmons)
You were the God in the halls of time
You've seen them come and seen them go
Why can't you sleep at night?
Maybe it's the glare of the light?
Maybe it's something you'll never know?
You've heard the voice again last night
You're fooling yourself, this ain't no dream
Well, maybe it's not too late?
You can still cheat the hand of fate
Just roll the dice and play the game
Oh, legends never die
They keep the memory alive
Oh, legends never die
They'll keep a part of you inside
You know you're not the way you seem
You're not a puppet on a string
Well, maybe it's not too late
You can still cheat the hand of fate
Just close your eyes and play the game
Oh, legends never die
They keep the memory alive
Oh, legends never die
They'll keep a part of you inside
Tuesday morning, "New York Times"
You passed away, you lost your mind, well
We all try to play the game
We all want to taste the fame
We'd sell our souls in the price is right
Oh, legends never die
They keep the memory alive
Oh, legends never die
They'll keep a part of you inside
Oh, legends never die
Legends never die
Legends never die
Legends never die
Rock before we bleed
(Pesch/Lietz)
We all love, we all breathe
We all feet the rising heat
Times are changing, our lifes goes on
And we need to be strong
Yeah, we need to be strong
We will rock before we bleed
We will rock to be free
We will rock, it's all we need
We will rock before we bleed
We will rock before we bleed
We hear the thunder, yeah, life is cruel
Who knows what will change?
But it'll be okay, it'll be allright
We're all here tonight
And we'll live it up all night
We will rock before we bleed
We will rock to be free
We will rock, it's all we need
We will rock before we bleed
We will rock before we bleed
We will rock, we will rock
We will rock on
We will rock, we will rock
Before we bleed
We will rock, we will rock
We will rock on
We will rock, we will rock
We will rock on
We will rock before we bleed
We will rock to be free
We will rock, it's all we need
We will rock before we bleed
We will rock before we bleed
We will rock to be free
We will rock, it's all we need
We will rock before we bleed
Sister darkness
(Pesch/Beauvoir/Taylor/Douglas/Dee)
I see you after midnight
When the moonlight mirrors in my eyes
And I do what I like
And I do what is right, slowly come alive
We dance with the shadows
Unlike anything in this world
We will use up the night
And I'll sure treat you right, bring you back to life
Call me sister darkness
If you want me, that's my name
Call me if you want me
Better call me, now you know my name
You won't be sorry
It's the only time I treat you right
Let the magic unfold
And your body and soul slowly come alive
There ain't no tomorrow
I will drink your blood like old red wine
Oh, don't fear me tonight
Only once in your life you'll be fully mine
Call me sister darkness
If you want me, that's my name
Call me if you want me
Better call me, see you again
Call me if you want me
Call me if you want me
Now you know my name
Call me sister darkness
If you want me, that's my name
Call me if you want me
Better call me, see you again
Call me sister darkness
If you want me, see you again
Call me if you want me
Better call me, that's my name
Wild heart
(Pesch/Ballard/Winter)
You call me a wayward child
Meant to be free, born to be wild
That's the way it's been 'till now
Who do you see before you now?
A friend? A lover? An angel or witch?
Who you call your love, if you wish?
If I was lying would I stand here?
Like I am naked would I dare?
With all the power of my wild heart
I would break down the walls that would keep us apart
With all the passion that's in my blood
Sacrifice everything that I've got
Just take me, don't break me
Just blame it on my wild heart
I'm building my self defense
My faith and trust, not my innocence
And no revenge
You can forever be free
Or you're forever with me?
With all the power of my wild heart
I would break down the walls that would keep us apart
With all the passion that's in my blood
Sacrifice everything that I've got
Just take me, don't break me
Just blame it on my wild heart
With all the power of my wild heart
I would break down the walls that would keep us apart
With all the passion that's in my blood
Sacrifice everything that I've got
Just take me, don't break me
Just blame it on my wild heart
Fight by your side
(Pesch/Scruggs)
The moon above you, it seems so sad
But that's not the reason why I feel so bad
I can't believe you're walking out that door
To go and fight some crazy war
Some politicians are born without hearts
They declare their borders, tear families apart
You came into my life many years ago
I pray to God you'll come back home
I will fight by your side
For peace that lasts forever
And I will scream to all mankind
We're all in this together
I pray every mother's son
Will someday lay down his gun
I will fight by your side
I will fight by your side
Your father died on the day you were born
Did you ever know what he was fighting for?
They send you far away where I know this world's on fire
I only have one desire
I will fight by your side
For peace that lasts forever
And I will scream to all mankind
We're all in this together
I pray every mother's son
Will someday lay down his gun
I will fight by your side
I will fight by your side
For peace that lasts forever
And I will scream to all mankind
We're all in this together
I pray every mother's son
Will someday lay down his gun
I will fight by your side
I will fight by your side
I will fight by your side
I will fight by your side
Chained
(Pesch/Scruggs)
Do unto others
As you'd have them do to you
It would make our life so easy
Yeah, there's gold in that rule
But money is a God
For so many in this world
Yeah, they wanna own the souls
Of every man, woman, boy and girl
It's sad but true to see
It is them against you and me
But we are chained
Chained, chained for life
We are chained
Chained 'till we die
And together we will fight
For what we know is right
Yeah, we are chained
Chained, chained for life
We are chained, chained
Chained, chained
We are chained, chained
Chained, chained
Angels walk among us
But there are devils out there too
And they cast their evil on us
Hoping we'll do what they want us to do
Turning love into hatred
Making dreams become untrue
And the only thing that's sacred
Is the bond between me and you
It's sad but true to see
It is them against you and me
And we are chained
Chained, chained for life
We are chained
Chained 'till we die
And together we will fight
For what we know is right
Chained
Chained, chained for life
We are chained, chained
Chained, chained
Chained, chained
Chained, chained
There's evil all around us
But I don't fear it
It's time to raise our voices
And let them bastards hear it
Watch out!
And together we will fight
For what we know is right
Yeah, we are chained
Chained, chained for life
We are chained, chained
Chained, chained
And we are chained
Chained, chained for life
We are chained
Chained 'till we die
And together we will fight
For what we know is right
We are chained, chained
Chained, chained
Chained, chained
Chained, chained
Hoffnung
(Pesch/Bruhn/Winter)
Des Lebens Sinn ist Hoffnung tragen
Durch Dornen seinen Weg zu Schreiten
Sich durch ein Hollentor zu wagen
Um in die Finsternis zu gleiten
Der bittren Liebe Schmerz zu finden
Der Versuchung widersteh'n
In Glut der Leidenschaft sich winden
Dem Bosen ins Gesicht ze she'n
Gib mir hoffnung dass es weitergeht
Hoffnung dass ich's ubersteh'
Hoffnung dass du nie von mir gehst
Hoffnung dass es weitergeht
Give me hope in a hopeless hour
Give me hope and a way to believe
Give me hope, strength in any hour
Give me hope, give it all to feel relief
Denn jede Rose die gebrochen
Und jeder Stachel in Deiner Hand
Aus Verzweiflung zugestochen
Wird nur durch Liebe ausgebrannt
Gib mir hoffnung dass es weitergeht
Hoffnung dass ich's ubersteh'
Hoffnung dass du nie von mir gehst
Hoffnung dass ich's uberleb'
Give me hope in a hopeless hour
Give me hope and a way to believe
Give me hope, strength in any hour
Give me hope, give it all to feel relief
Und wenn die nacht mich dann umhullt
Und mich die sehnsucht Wachen zwingt
Den raum mit einsamkeit erfullt
Bohrend in mein herz eindringt
Gib mir hoffnung dass es weitergeht
Hoffnung dass ich's uberleb'
Hoffnung dass du nie von mir gehst
Hoffnung dass du zu mir stehst
Give me hope in a hopeless hour
Give me hope and a way to believe
Give me hope, strength in any hour
Give me hope, give it all to feel relief
Give me hope in a hopeless hour
Give me hope and a way to believe
Give me hope, strength and open power
Give me hope, give it all to feel relief
