I Belvedere sono un gruppo melodic-hardcore-punk canadese. La loro carriera prolungatasi dal 1995 al 2005 (e anche dal 2007 in poi se si considera che 2 componenti della band hanno fondato successivamente i This Is A Standoff, altro gruppo melodic-hc parecchio appetitoso).
Nel 2001 vede la luce questo "Twas Hell Said Former Child" che incarna un po' l'idea di come dovrebbe essere fatto il punk oggi.Melodie semplici e di facile ascolto, velocità dei brani, rallentamenti e cambi di ritmo frequenti, così si fa un buon disco di hardcore melodico, la semplicità è l'ingrediente principale per riuscire in un genere come questo, la sperimentazione si può lasciare benissimo ad altri generi perchè qui spazio non si trova per elementi che potrebbero portare alla noia. Meglio così.
Con una media di due minuti e mezzo a pezzo ed una semplicità mai sgradita e per niente banale, quest' album fa parte della categoria di dischi da cui si dovrebbe imparare il modo di fare punk rock nel nuovo millennio. Non sarà un capolavoro ma basta e avanza.

Finally I see your plan now I've come to understand
You should have told me all the lies were true
But that was all so long ago, maybe 'bout a week or so
If the one you're holding only knew
Fall back, start over
Let all the negativity subside
Bad night, hung over
And everything you said hanging on me
Hanging on me
I can't replace the thought of you
Sitting here just like you do
And now you're sitting close with someone else
I figured out some time ago
Regardless of the things I know
I'm over it as far as I can tell
Fall back, start over
Let all the negativity subside
Bad night, hung over
And everything you said hanging on me
Had your chance, your time has passed
This time I'm not so blind
Carico i commenti... con calma
