Mentre la creatura di Berlino rimane in uno stato di assoluto letargo, qualcuno ha pensato bene di sfruttare a meglio la propia posizione portando una ventata di musica dal suo silenzio.
Richard Kruspe, membro fondatore e chitarrista di una delle più innovative realtà musicali degl'ultimi anni, ovvero i Rammstein, serve su un piatto d'argento un piccolo progetto che non sazia, ma almeno, lubrifica le bocche affamate dei milioni di fan, in attesa di una nuova uscita ufficiale dei tedeschi. Si perchè questi Emigrate, non sono niente di nuovo... Se non una manciata di riff perfettamente rammsteniani (quasi tutti già sfruttati, sentire per credere), mixati in una chiave moderna, spaziando anche su attitudini pop. Richard Kruspe oltre a suonare, si cimenta anche nel canto (inglese ora..), nel modo più semplice e scompiazzato, tutto già sentito..
La struttura delle canzoni è in comcomitanza con ciò che ho appena detto. Si parte con una title-track tutto sommato incalzante, soppratutto per chi ama i rammstein e mastica il loro sound come un piacevole chungam, per poi entrare in un tunnel di impostazioni easy e già ritrite, per niente fastidiose (anzi..), ma che danno la sensazione di una certa mancanza di idee (La successione di "Wake me up","My World","In My Tears" e "Let me break" è un rebus chiamato "Reise, Reise"). Il disco scivola piacevolmente e il turno di "Babe" e di "New York" non fa altro che buttare il solito ingrediente, ancora più popular, ancora più moderno. "Resolution" è una traccia di Sehnsucht, senza Lindermann. Il resto ha già detto tutto, un'annotazione per "This is what", in evidenza rispetto alle altre.
Poco da dire, come del resto ha fatto Richard..
Non è un disco brutto, non è lo è, se prendiamo i più punti di vista (fan in primis), è un'album che si fa ascoltare... Ma per chi è obbiettivo e prentende l'arte nella musica, è davvero una bella impresa, perchè sembra di galleggiare su un mare in piena calma, piazzattezza a non finire.
Che Richard continui a contribuire nel mosaico assieme a Tille e soci come chitarrista, perchè è un chitarrista, e niente di più.

01 Emigrate (04:07)
Eagle flies across a flag
bureaucracy is such a drag
behold a pale horse tonight
the men in black are out of sight
She comes
He comes
We come
She comes
Across the oceans in my mind
across the skies I left behind
a land of opportunity
a land to fill my destiny
Emigrate
Emigrate
Emigrate
Emigrate
I've been alone a long, long time
so what, I take what should be mine
I've searched the sea of empty eyes
and severed all my family ties
A mercenary feeds my soul
a plastic world, no getting old
a monkey wears, the age-old crown
the other monkeys getting down
She comes
He comes
We come
She comes
Welcome

Walk through fear
leave you, dear
never wanted to create a tear
walk through fear

03 My World (04:17)
Now you get along with me
I'm gonna make you mine and make you free
In the new world
Breath goes in and breath goes out
And it makes me scream, it makes me shout
In the new world
Rev it up and make it start
Tear it up and take my heart
In the new world
I'm lost in you, I'm lost in crowds
I fight for you, and say out loud
It's a new world
This is my world (burning, burning)
This is my world (burning, burning)
Ripped off life and ripped off pain
I'll take my time and make you sane
In the new world
This is my world (burning, burning)
This is my world (burning, burning)
Our whole existence starts to change
We're born with love and born with rage
Our whole existence starts to change
We're born with love and born with rage
Now you get along with me
I'm gonna make you mine and make you free
In the new world
Now you get along with me
I'm gonna make you mine and make you free
In the new world
This is my world (burning, burning)
This is my world (burning, burning)
This (burning, burning)
Is (burning, burning)
My world (burning, burning)
04 Let Me Break (03:35)
I would live for you
and break my heart in two
I would give for you
like only fools would do
I would hear you out
and tell you all I could
I would take your doubts
and show you what I should
Let me break
Let me break you down
For your sake
I will break you down
I would try for you
try to walk you through
I would fight for you
to prove that I am true
Let me break
Let me break you down
For your sake
I will break you down
Break, break down
Break, break down
I would use for you
alleviate your pain
I would lose for you
again and again
Let me break, for your sake
Let me break
Let me break you down
For your sake
I will break you down
Let me break
Let me break you down
For your sake
I will break you down
06 Babe (04:28)
You're so pure
So sure again
Whatever you do
We will laugh again
I'm like you
A fool again
Whenever I fell
I get up again
Ref:
Baby, you don't have to be afraid
In my eyes
Baby, you don't have to be ashamed
Find you way
I'm lose again
Whatever you are
You can choose again
Your heart will break
And heal again
And one day will come
When you believe again
Ref:
Baby, you don't have to be afraid
In my eyes
Baby, you don't have to be ashamed
Baby, you don't have to be afraid
In my eyes
Baby, I'm so glad that you stay
-SOLO-
Ref:
Baby, you don't have to be afraid
In my eyes
Baby, you don't have to be ashamed
Baby, you don't have to be afraid
In my eyes
Baby, and I'm so glad that you stay
07 New York City (03:40)
I'm lost in a world of lights
mesmerize my nights
the sky scrapes on building sites
I'm feeling so alive
Whatever's clever
Whatever's clever will have to wait
Thinking on the world at large
the city's got it all
culture clash and sidewalk trash
don't look down you might fall
And now we just feel lige energy
New York City will never sleep
And now we just feel lige synergy
New York City it's the place to be
I'm gonna win
I'm gonna lose
I'm gonna chase it till the end
and if you're walking in my shoes
you're gonna make it or pretend
Whatever's clever
Whatever's clever will have to wait
And now we just feel lige energy
New York City will never sleep
And now we just feel lige synergy
New York City it's the place to be
09 Temptation (04:13)
Don't you ever feel
you're sorry
don't you ever wish
the sky could open up
all I do is going nowhere
and I want to go back home
Don't you know
that you're so special
don't you ever cloud
your thoughts like falling rain
wonder if I'm going somewhere
still I gotta get back home
Temptation
Leading me astray
Frustration
A time will come to pay
Don't you want to know my story
guess I could explain it if I tried
I don't want to keep expanding
and I'm sorry that I lied
Temptation
Leading me astray
Frustration
A time will come to pay
Temptation
Leading me astray
Frustration
Don't you want
to make me over
don't you feel
that everything's a test
want to disappear inside you
because that's the home
I feel the best
Temptation
Leading me astray
Frustration
A time will come to pay
Temptation
Leading me astray
Frustration
A time will come to pay
