 Дождался выхода нового альбома, одной из моей любимых групп. Эта работа чуть послабее Electrified и Sonic Dynamite. Сыграно и записано это всё хорошо. Но как-то немного, на мой взгляд, вымучено. Гитарные соляки - отличные. У вокалиста же голос с каждым альбомом всё лучше и лучше становится, что радует. Есть очень яркие и запоминающиеся композиции, вроде Don't Need Your Touch, In Your Dreams и He Took The World. Приятно порадовала Enslaved исполненная в духе Helloween. Подпортила всё впечатление только финальная Pinball Wizard. Поэтому... |

Восьмой студийный альбом немцев и уже в который раз, продолжающий меня удивлять, их диск! Такое ощущение, будто эти ребята вышли на финишную прямую начиная с пластинки «Electrified», и теперь несутся на всех парах, срывая и срывая новые награды. Вот уже третью работу музыканты предоставляют на суд публике творение повергающие в шок, в хорошем смысле слова, из-за его гениального мелодического содержания и виртуозного мастерства владением инструментов. Музыка Пинк Крима ощутимо потяжелела и стала во много раз мощнее и забойней. Качество записи не даёт ни одного намёка на слабину, а тексты песен так и пестрят разнообразными жизненными и философскими темами. Во многом музыке содействует сильный и красивый вокал Дэвида Ридмана, как бы строя образ группы, являясь её непосредственной душой и телесным воплощением. Если сравнивать рассматриваемую работу с двумя предыдущими, то сразу напрашивается на язык мнение о более продвинутом и так сказать более законченным и цельным музыкальном материале. Так, с каждым следующим диском, коллектив отшлифовывает своё мастерство, развивается относительно мелодических решений и становится тяжелей и мрачней по общему настрою, что является весьма спорным моментом. Из самых самых могучих номеров я бы отметил вниманием средне темповую вещь «He Don’t Need Your Touch», интересный и грустный номер «Promised Land» с чертовски запоминающимся припевом, скоростной и бешеный номер «Enslaved», сбивающий всё на своём пути, и который является достаточно редким явлением в творчестве банды, открывающую задорную «Shout!» и мид темповую «He Took The World» с явным уклоном в Дерисовскую классику первых альбомов. Остальной материал также смотрится весьма сильно, хотя и не так ярко как названные композиции. В целом, «Endangered» это шедевр и беря во внимание его удачность можно предположить, что он обеспечит надёжный тыл для безбедного существования группы. |

Try to fuel the human race
Shout, shout it out
Turn your back and be disgraced
Shout it out
Give the people what they need
Shout, shout it out
Raise your hands and shout it out
Heal, all the blood shed

Searching for there liberty

3. Promised Land
When I look across this broken land
And try to understand
Why the human race
Should loose their grace
In this promised land
Now we've seen all the heartache
It turned into shame
Cause there's no one to take the blame
Do you remember life before the storm?
Bound for glory, and the deeds that we'd perform
Were stuck in a landslide, and there'll be no turning back
We'll answer the questions,
As we drift along the road to nowhere
Who's playing the guardian angel?
Watching over
In this promised land
Just look to a new horizon
Rise above you
In this promised land
Who's playing the guardian angel?
Watching over
In this promised land
Just look to a new horizon
Now the future is in your hands
They show no redemption, remorse or even sorrow
There'll be no exception, when you're waiting for tomorrow
Were stuck in the crossfire, could it be we'll never wake
They're breaking our empire,
And they're taking all that they could take
Who's playing the guardian angel?
Watching over
In this promised land
Just look to a new horizon
Rise above you
In this promised land
Who's playing the guardian angel?
Watching over
In this Promised Land
Just look to a new horizon
Is it really a shame that were taking the blame?
When the future is in your hands
If I close my eyes
I know I'll see
The sun begin to rise
Cause I've know the joy
Of self contentment
In this paradise
Oh in this paradise
This paradise
Won't somebody tell me?
Who's playing the guardian angel?
Watching over
In this promised land
Just look to a new horizon
Rise above you
In this promised land
Who's playing the guardian angel?
Watching over
In this promised land
Just look to a new horizon
Now the future is in your hands
4. Trust the Wiseman
So tired of searching
Deep inside your heart
Asking the question
Were to make a start
You look in the mirror
Don't like what you see
The face of a stranger
Will never set you free
You're living your life in vein
But can you forget your shame
Walk, walk with me, to the light
Trust the wise man in the night
Take my hand, Hold on tight
Trust the Wise man in the light
Feel the emotion
Moving through your veins
Deeper devotion
Slowly heals the pain
Use all your wisdom
And fight away your fears
Forget all the darkness
And all those wasted tears
You gave all your life in vain
But it can't be the same
Walk, walk with me, to the light
Trust the wise man in the night
Take my hand, Hold on tight
Trust the Wise man in the light
Walk, walk with me, to the light
Trust the wise man in the light
Cast away the madness
You could never understand
And listen to the Wise man in your heart
Walk, walk with me, to the light
Trust the wise man in the night
Take my hand, Hold on tight
Trust the Wise man in the light
Let the wise man feed your might
Cast away the madness
You could never understand
And listen to the Wise man in your heart
5. Don't Need Your Touch
He was raised with the Bible
Living up to their demands
Such a flawless deciple
Living under their command
Now he's breaking all the rules
Like a hurricane gone wild
And he never was so cruel
He's just a perfect fool
Is that a reason?
A reason to live?
He don't need your touch
Life gives just enough
No religion and indecision
He don't need your touch
He don't need your touch
Kneeling back into the shadows
Hiding from the dead of night
There's no sense in facing sorrows
No ones gonna put up a fight
Cause he never will forget
The evil that has weakened his mind
But it's nothing you can see
That's tearing him apart
Give him a reason, a reason to start
He don't need your touch
Life gives just enough
No religion and indecision
He don't need your touch
Don't need your touch
He gets just enough
No touch
Back in the shadows
Will there always be the anger
That's raging in his heart?
Will he be ready?
To make a new start.
He don't need your touch
Life gives just enough
No religion and indecision
He don't need your touch
6. He Took the World
The quicksand of hatred has swept him away
Off to a land in the sky
A magical vision to worship and pray
Something to make them all blind
Voices they echo around in the wind
Saying "you're one of a kind.
The others deny you and lead you astray
Playing around with your mind"
Feeling so grand in his mighty domain
With all the power to make you the same
He took the world, into his hands
He took the world of the next man
The blackened light, would leave no trace
The blackened light hiding disgrace
He took the world, He took the land
He took the world
So witness the truth now the damage is done
Silence has branded you gone
The fathers' own evil is passed to the son
Although the line has been drawn
Now out of the dark it will rise and will fall
Leaving the demons behind
The promise now broken, and bound from it all
Trying to choose for mankind
Raising his hand in this mighty domain
Trying the best just to make you insane
He took the world, into his hands
He took the world and he gave his command
The blackened light, would leave no trace
The blackened light that would hide the disgrace
He took the world, into his hands
He took the world and he gave his command
The blackened light, would leave no trace
The blackened light that would hide the disgrace
He took the world,
I guess the damage is done
Now he's raising his hand in this mighty domain
Trying the best just to make you insane
All of the people are playing his game
He took the world, into his hands
He took the world and he gave his command
The blackened light, would leave no trace
The blackened light that would hide the disgrace
He took the world, into his hands
He took the world and he gave his command
The blackened light, would leave no trace
The blackened light that would hide the disgrace
He took the world
7. Enslaved
Plastic people in this new dimension
Can you read between the lines?
Sick and tired of getting your attention
Can you hear me in your minds?
What is your intention?
Just a slave, to the grave
Got to think for you yourself
There'll be nobody else
Just a slave, to the grave
With your life in your hands
You're enslaved by the last command
Time to listen to the voice of freedom
If you don't the game goes on
Don't be scared they only call it treason
When they come you will be gone
Give me one more reason
Just a slave, to the grave
Got to think for you yourself
There'll be nobody else
Just a slave, to the grave
With your life in your hands
You're enslaved by the last command
I hear the voice of freedom
Understand
What has been done
I hear the voice of freedom
Understand
You will be gone
You're in command
You're just a slave, to the grave
Got to think for you yourself
There'll be nobody else
Just a slave, to the grave
With your life in there hands
And your in there command
You're just a slave, to grave
Got to think for you yourself
There'll be nobody else
Just a slave, to the grave
With your life in your hands
You're enslaved by the last command
8. In My Dreams
Sleep now,
Close my eyes and slip away
Forces,
Hold the line so I wont stray
Teach me,
I may learn from what I find
Strangers,
Float inside my mind
Under the strain
My soul remains
Break from the chains
So watch me in my dreams now
Voices,
Spoken from a distant land
Faces,
Laid forever in the sand
Feelings,
I was sure I'd never known
Help me,
Discover what they'd shown
Under the strain
My soul remains
Break from the chains
I slip away
I've gone astray
To my dismay
And watch me in my dreams
I fall asleep and then I see
So many people that arn't me
I move inside there lonely spirit
Watch me in my dreams
Watch me in my dreams
Sleep now
Sleep now
He don't need your touch
9. High as a Mountain
Got to face the truth
And change the way I live
Thrown away my youth
And all I had to give
So now I choose my destiny
The game of life has followed me
I'll cast aside my misery
And make the rules so I can see
Cause I'm High as a mountain
Flying high above to touch the sky
High as a mountain
Only peace of mind can make me cry
Now I'm feeling strong so strong
And going were I choose
Even if I'm wrong
I know that I can't lose
Will future set me free?
And take away its hold on me
Innocence will hold the key
And all I ask is one last plea
Cause I'm high as a mountain
Flying high above and touch the sky
High as a mountain
Tell me if I'm alive
High as a mountain
Flying high above to touch the sky
High as a mountain
Only peace of mind can make me cry
Why does it make me cry?
I've seen the goodness turn to bad
I've seen the happy change to sad
I've felt the heat turn into cold
But now I'm stronger
Got to face the truth?
Oh I don't know
Thrown away my youth
I'm not wasted
High as a mountain
Flying high above to touch the sky
High as a mountain
Tell me I'm alive
Cause I' m High as a mountain
Flying high above and touch the sky
High as a mountain
Only peace of mind
High as a mountain
Flying high above to touch the sky
High as a mountain
Only peace of mind can make me cry
10. Shadows of Time
Don't remember when I came here
Was it in a dream?
All the thoughts that now surround me
Are not what they seem?
Is there anybody out there?
Who could know my face?
In this vision no decision
Shadow's of time
Cast away the darkness for my eyes
So I can fight the good fight
Shadow's of time
Seems that I've been lost a thousand years
And I will fight the good fight
Over shadow's of time
In the dark I search the answer
Twisting in my mind
Pessimism in your laughter
Makes you so unkind
Memories are waking in me
Guilty is my plea
In this vision no decision
Shadow's of time
Cast away the darkness for my eyes
So I can fight the good fight
Shadow's of time
Seems that I've been lost a thousand years
And I will fight the good fight
Over shadow's of time
So I face the final curtain
With this endless dream
In my vision no decision
Shadow's of time
Cast away the darkness for my eyes
So I can fight the good fight
Shadow's of time
Seems that I've been lost a thousand years
And I will fight the good fight
And I cant stop these
Shadow's of time
Break away from what I left behind
So I can fight the good fight
Shadow's of time
Take me through another thousand years
So I can fight the good fight
Over Shadow's of time
11. Pinball Wizard
Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean
He plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard's
Got such a supple wrist
How do you think he does it
I don't know
What makes him so good
He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
I thought I was
The Bally table king
But I just handed
My pinball crown to him
Even on my favorite table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
12. One Time Is Not Enough
Waking in the morning
And I stare at the wall
Now my angel has seen through my sins
Thinking about my life
When I was going insane
Well I guess now I can take the pain
It's not you; it's not me
It's just the way that it is
It's not you; it's not me
I know the feeling is real
And it's no exaggeration
One time is not enough
It's not enough
And you know it's for the better of two
One time is not enough
It's not enough
And you know it's for the better of two
But what should I do?
You could see right through me
So I packed up my bags
Getting sick and tired of my lies
Waiting at the station feeling down on my luck
With a picture of you stuck in my mind
It's not you; it's not me
It's just the way that it is
It's not you; it's not me
You got my mind in a twist
And it's no exaggeration
One time is not enough
It's not enough
And you know it's for the better of two
One time is not enough
It's not enough
And you know it's for the better of two
But what should I do
When I was loosing my face
I never really cared
I guess I got to pull myself together now
I know, it really drives you crazy
It's time will be alright
I know it's a lie
Never wanted to say goodbye
And you know
In my heart and my soul
I've got no place to go
One time is not enough
It's not enough
And you know it's for the better of two
One time is not enough
It's not enough
And you know it's for the better of two
But what should I do?
