Avete presente una bomba? Ecco nel 2004 ne è esplosa una.
I Greeley Estates sono sfortunatamente conosciuti nel mainstream come una delle innumerevoli e frangiatissime band truzz-metalcore e, per carità, questa fama è tutt'altro che immeritata; gli ultimi due album sotto major li hanno si portati alla ribalta, ma nel contempo hanno offuscato quanto di buono avevano fatto. Una bomba dicevamo...si.
L'impatto con l'opener Shelter è di quelli che non ti scordi, chitarra alla Lostprophets dei bei tempi con annessa voce melodica e scream da pelledoca. Punto. Tutto qui. Da qui parte una serie di 12 pezzi che ti perforano, che ti fanno venire voglia di gettare le cuffie. E al diavolo se sono tutti uguali, al diavolo chi non vuole dare ad Outside of This un'opportunità di entrare dentro di se.
Qui di metalcore patinato non c'è nulla, tutto tranne quello. Lasciate da parte i pregiudizi da tru rocher e verrete folgorati, giuro.
Ho scritto pochissimo lo so, ma in un certo senso non voglio levare il gusto della sorpresa, più che una recensione è un consiglio per gli acquisti questo. Yo.

02 Sheltered (02:09)
Innocence, those were the days
So young, without a care
We close our eyes and feel the pain
Of getting older
What have we become, have we forgotten
What have we become, have we forgotten who we are
Photographs reveal our past
Sheltered from all that is out there
We're blind to see a world that's in need
In need of love
What have we become, have we forgotten who we are
What's missing now, we're all so empty
What have we become, have we forgotten
What have we become, have we forgotten who we are
03 If Words Could Say (02:51)
Tossing and turning, I just can't sleep
Numb to the feelings surrounding me
Try to escape what I know I believe
Your still small voice is calling me
I seem bent on destroy all that you have given me
I much as I fail, you're unchanging
When I close the door, you're there knocking
I hear the voice, it's haunting me
I try to escape, you just won't leave
And I know that you're there
Waiting (waitiing), to bring me back
How can I escape what I'm living in
Looking for something to make sense again
Then in the shadows, I see your light
It captures my heart and brings me back
I hear the voice, it's haunting me
I try to escape, you just won't leave
And I know that you're there
Waiting to bring me back
If words could say what you mean to me
04 Through Waiting (03:20)
I can't be the one to show you the way
All the time
I'm left all alone to wander this place
Asking why
I'm falling back to you after all that we've been through
I can't let go
I'm falling back to you after all that we've been through
I can't let go
I'm through letting you walk over me
All the time
I've heard it before you can't keep this up
Make up your mind
I'm falling back to you after all that we've been through
I can't let go
I'm falling back to you after all that we've been through
I can't let go
Tonight is the last night I'll wait for you (I'll wait for you)
I'm falling back to you after allthat we've been through
I can't let go
09 Until Tomorrow (03:15)
You say just breathe
But how can I when
You suffocate me
How can you live with yourself
This is the last time
I'll lye awake thinking about you
This is the last time
I'll be the one you stab a knife through
You say that you love me
I find it funny
To hear that from you
How can you live with yourself
This is the last time
I'll lye awake thinking about you
This is the last time
I'll be the one you stab a knife through
Are you satisfied
Now that you've tried to kill me
You didn't succeed
I'll never bleed for you again
This is the last time
I'll lye awake thinking about you
This is the last time
I'll be the one you stab the knife through
11 Without You (02:59)
How could we let this slip away
We shared so much together
Wasn't it enough for you
Cause everything that I did
I did it for you
We took so much for granted
You're beautiful to me
Without you my heart bleeds
Yesterday
I had you here with me
Now that you're gone
It's so empty
Another dark night feeling alone
Drowning in the sadness
Remember all we had
The memories of you
Etched inside my mind
You left me here to die
You're beautiful to me
Without you my heart bleeds
Yesterday
I had you here with me
Now that you're gone
It's so empty
I could live without
All of this
I could give it up
It's just not worth it
You're beautiful to me
Without you my heart bleeds
Yesterday
I had you here with me
Now that you're gone
It's so empty
12 Not Alone (10:08)
The void inside
An empty space you've tried to fill
With anything that will deaden the pain
It just won't go away
But don't give up hope
You've lost your way but you're not alone
I thought you should know
Through it all we'll be right here next to you
So what's your role
Is there anywhere you can belong
You're down to your last rope
And ready to let go
But don't give up hope
You've lost your way but you're not alone
I thought you should know
Through it all we'll be right here next to you
I thought you should know
There's so much more
Outside of this...
