Squadra che vince non si cambia. L'avranno pensata cosi alla Warner quando hanno pensato di chiamare Jeff Blue per produrre questo cd. Sfruttando dunque l'onda del tanto discusso "Hybrid Theory" targato Linkin Park, e co-prodotto dallo stesso J.Blue insieme all'altro 'uomo Warner' Don Gilmore, esce "Disconnected", album scontatamente nu metal targato Dry Cell.
Quello che si constata purtroppo è che oggi i producer e i loro scagnozzi dicono la loro anche troppo sulla composizione dei pezzi, sicchè il qui presente "Disconnected" si presenta pressochè perfetto nelle sue parentesi hip-hop e nel suo incrocio tra due vocalist, (questa storia mi sembra di averla già sentita), ma pecca di creatività, salvo qualche interessante sprazzo specialmente nella parte iniziale dell'album. Innanzitutto parto col dire che i Dry Cell sono una band nata in California (tanto per cambiare), e fino ad ora hanno pubblicato un solo lavoro, appunto il medesimo "Disconnected".
Pezzi come "Slip Away" e "Underneath The Sun" sono decisamente azzeccati e le linee vocali del duo J.Gutt e D.Warsieski sono grintose e mantengono uno stile 'radio-friendly' accettabile anche se risultano sin troppo perfette e patinate. Il primo e unico singolo estratto dal cd è "Body Crumbles", facente anche parte dell' OST del film "Queen Of The Damned" (indovinate un pò quale altra band ha collaborato all'OST del film), c'è da dire comunque che il pezzo è buono, le chitarre sono aggressive senza mai strafare, e come spesso accade in questi ultimi anni alle band quali i Dry Cell, il basso è praticamente inesistente almeno che non abbiate un impianto hi-fi di una certa potenza. Molto scontate e patinate le urla di "Sorry" e "Last Time", tuttavia entrambi i pezzi strizzano positivamente l'occhio all'alternative rock risultando accettabili. Si presegue con un po' di mediocrità e monotonia con pezzi come "Forever Beautiful" e "Brave". Per farla breve l'album, nel globale, scivola via senza infamia e senza lode. Sicuramente non un cd da acquistare, ma per quello mostrato soprattutto nella prima parte, il lavoro strappa la sufficienza piazzandosi comodamente come riempimento in un genere (il nu metal, quello 'pulito') che ormai è morto e sepolto, ma che ad intuito tornerà a breve con una formula diversa. Vedremo cosa si inventeranno i cervelloni della Warner, quale tipo di piatto ci piazzeranno, o quale minestra riscaldata ci proporanno a breve, Linkin Park docet.

04 Forever Beautiful (02:52)
I just want you to know
That I want you to be safe
Was it fate?
No, I can't remember
So much pain in the world
I hate feeling this way
They took you away
I wish that I could be strong
I wish that I could be brave
I wish that I could be over and over
True to the world
Another summer fades away
Forever beautiful
Don't ever think that I could not appreciate
We all come full circle
Whatever I'm to give
I'll only complicate
I just want you to know
It isn't easy to face
It's growing vague
But I will remember
I hear your voice every day
It doesn't seem quite the same
Took you away
From me
I wish that you weren't gone
I wish that you could be saved
I wish that you could be over and over
True to the world
Another summer fades away
Forever beautiful
Don't ever think that I could not appreciate
We all come full circle
Whatever I'm to give
I'll only complicate
This isn't over
There's no way
I'm still denying everything
This can't be right
And possibly. . .
I don't know if I'll ever
Forever beautiful
Don't ever think that I could not appreciate
We all come full circle
Whatever I'm to give
I'll only complicate
07 Brave (03:02)
Reach out! Nothing's there, I can't see
Black out! Gets so cold I can't breathe
Who's there? I'm sweating, though I'm freezing
I'm scared, I'm venting, releasing
Rewind! Just enough to know what's behind
Does anybody know trust?
In fact, has anybody seen me?
Look back! Life is but a daydream
Satellite's receiving
Are all my loved ones grieving?
And does it matter at all?
If I was brave enough to fall
I'd find the answers
But now my back's against the wall
Forever
Big world and I am feeling small
The slow are faster
And I know I don't have it all
Together
Today everybody's slacking
Within I wish that I was back in
High school where everything's easy
No cares, just childhood teasing
In fact, now it gets depressing
Relax. Everything is stressing
I don't know if I can take this
But I'm somehow gonna make it through
Satellite's receiving
Are all my loved ones grieving?
And does it matter at all?
If I was brave enough to fall
I'd find the answers
But now my back's against the wall
Forever
Big world and I am feeling small
The slow are faster
And I know I don't have it all
Together
Go ahead and look at me now
It's like I'm stuck in between
Getting up or just falling down
Is anyone there to catch me?
If I was brave enough to fall
I'd find the answers
But now my back's against the wall
Forever
Big world and I am feeling small
The slow are faster
And I know I don't have it all
Together
If I was brave enough to fall
Let's fall together
08 Disconnected (02:50)
Jilted- From a place in the back of my mind
There's no time for a reconcile
Tilted- In a way that I cannot define
Gonna take what I know is mine
Close your eyes and watch me fly
Everything I've left behind
All I want is piece of mind
DISCONNECTED
How in the world did I get so free
Nothing's gonna get to me
Cause I'm far too happily
DISCONNECTED
Deny- All the shame that you're feeling inside
Runaway from the sense you hide
Don't try- We don't all suffer from lack of pride
So get back to your so-called life
Close your eyes and watch me fly
Everything I've left behind
All I want is piece of mind
DISCONNECTED
How in the world did I get so free
Nothing's gonna get to me
Cause I'm far too happily
DISCONNECTED
All of my life
Answering to someone else
Living to die
Never asked for your help
Buried inside
It was here once nevermore
Nowhere to hide
I'm still alive, won't die
To get rid of this pain
I gotta fight, fight
To get rid of you
Is my right, right
Take it away
I don't need this anymore
It's time to delay
My disconnected life
Close your eyes and watch me fly
Everything I've left behind
All I want is piece of mind
DISCONNECTED
How in the world did I get so free
Nothing's gonna get to me
Cause I'm far too happily
DISCONNECTED
Close your eyes and watch me fly
Everything I've left behind
All I want is piece of mind
DISCONNECTED
How in the world did I get so free
Nothing's gonna get to me
Cause I'm far too happily
DISCONNECTED
11 Body Crumbles (03:12)
Finally recover when the mood is right
Looking up into a neon sky
Child in me takes over, guess it's been too long
Since the last time that I tried to fly
chorus
Finally I find when I lose control
Inside my body crumbles
It's like therapy for my broken soul
Inside my body crumbles
All I need's a moment, chance to get away
From the stressfulness of every day
Know if I don't question and I never doubt
Everything is gonna be okay
Finally I find when I lose control
Inside my body crumbles
It's like therapy for my broken soul
Inside my body crumbles
I dont know if ill be alright
Insecure would be my sign
I dont know if ill be alright
I'll never have to hide
I dont know if ill be alright
Try to live right
I dont know if ill be alright
Now I know its alright
Finally I find when I lose control
Inside my body crumbles
It's like therapy for my broken soul
Inside my body
Finally I find when I lose control
Inside my body crumbles
It's like therapy for my broken soul
Inside my body crumbles
