E' sempre difficile andare avanti quando una band perde di originalità, e questo disco ne è la prova evidente. Se poi per sopperire una mancanza di idee ci si mette ad esplorare nuove sonorità più leggere ed addirittura nuovi temi, beh, si arriva a un lavoro che forse nemmeno ai fan più appassionati garberà molto.
Ma andiamo con ordine: prima di tutto, il nuovo attesissimo disco del Reverendo e come se non fosse suo. Nel senso che si riconosce solo dalla voce, ma tutto il resto è differente. Perché in questo disco troverete solo una raccolta di canzoni al limite dell'alternative più moscio, non una imprecazione degna di questo nome, solo rock sciaquetto con qualche riff un po' "oscuro".
Il disco si apre con "If I was your vampire": la song non è male, ma fa già intendere l'andazzo. Si continua in un declino condito da improbabili assoli chitarristici che, oltre ad essere fuori luogo sono anche irritanti, si alza la testa col singolo "Heart-Shaped Glasses" e le tracce seguenti, ma niente di memorabile. L'insieme dalle song, quindi, prive di qualsiasi tipo di effetto o accorgimento usato fino ad oggi dalla band, intristisce l'ascoltatore, che perde ogni motivo di interesse. Prese singolarmente sono buone canzoni, ma solo se si ha la consapevolezza che questo è un disco rock melodico anonimo fatto maluccio. Niente più.
L'unica è pensare che la band abbia voluto cambiare, ma perché? Bastava rimanere nei binari usuali e sfornare un lavoro poco originale che cercare nuovi lidi col risultato di tirare fuori qualcosa di poco ascoltabile. Peccato. Un voto in più perché agli amanti del rock melodico potrebbe piacere.

01 If I Was Your Vampire (05:56)
6 AM, Christmas morning
No shadows
No reflections here
Lie cheek to cheek in your cold embrace.
So soft and so tragic as a slaughterhouse
She pressed the knife against your heart
And say that 'I love you so much you must kill me now.
I love you so much you must kill me now...'
If I was your vampire
Certain as the moon
Instead of killing time
We'll have each other untill the sun.
If I was your vampire
Death waits for no one.
Hold my hands across your face
Because I think our time has come.
Digging your smile apart with my spade tongue
The hole is where the heart is
We built this tomb together
And I won't fill it alone.
Beyond the pale
Everything's black no turning back
If I was your vampire
Certain as the moon
Instead of killing time
We'll have each other till the sun.
If I was your vampire
Death waits for no one.
Hold my hands across your face
Because I think our time has come.
Blood stained sheets in the shape of your heart
This is where it starts
This is where it will end
Here comes the moon again.
6:19 and I know I'm ready.
Drive me off the mountain
You'll burn and I'll eat your ashes.
The impossible wheels seducing our corpse.
If I was your vampire
Certain as the moon
Instead of killing time
We'll have each other untill the sun.
If I was your vampire
Death waits for no one.
Hold my hands across your face
Because I think our time has come.
Beyond the pale
Everything's black no turning back
Beyond the pale
Everything's black no turning back
This is where it starts
This is where it will end
Here comes the moon again.
Here comes the moon again.
This is where it starts
This is where it will end
Here comes the moon again.
Here comes the moon again.
Here comes the moon again.
03 The Red Carpet Grave (04:05)
They call her,
Bulldozer speech demon without distractions of hope
She makes the
depression business look surprisingly novel and she’s not just royal Allegedly loyal
but unfaithful but she has no faith in me
Inhale the damage smoothly Paradise isn’t lost
It was hiding all along
There’s the ones that you love
The ones that love you
The ones that make you come
The ones that make you come unglued
I can’t turn my back on you
When you are walking away
Bottomless celebrity scar staged circuses for schoolgirls
boys are all dressed up like a mediocre suicide omen here comes the red carpet grave Again and again and again
Oh man
There’s the ones that you love
The ones that love you
The ones that make you come
The ones that make you come unglued
I can’t turn my back on you
When you are walking away
I can’t turn my back on you
When you are walking away
can’t turn my back on you
When you are walking away
There’s the ones that you love
The ones that love you
The ones that make you come
The ones that make you come unglued
There’s the ones that you love
The ones that love you
The ones that make you come
The ones that make you come unglued
It’s easy to beat the system
but a hard time beating the symptoms
but a hard time beating the symptoms
I can’t turn my back on you
I can’t turn my back on you
I can’t turn my back on you
When you are walking away
Here comes the red carpet grave
Again and again and again
Here comes the red carpet grave
Again and again and again
Oh man
05 Just a Car Crash Away (04:55)
Love is a fire.
Burns down all that it sees.
Burns down everything.
Everything you think
burns down
everything you say.
She blew me her death-kiss
and the mouth-marks
bled down my eye,
like her dying
just on my windshield.
I can already feel
her worms
eating my spine.
Car So how can it be this lonely?
Is that all we get
Crash for our lives?
Is love only sweeter when
one of us dies?
Away
Then I knew that our love was
just a car crash away.
I knew that our love was just a car crash away.
I knew that our love was
just a car crash away.
Lyrics I knew that our love was
just a car crash away.
3x Love is a fire.
Burns down all that it sees.
Burns down everything.
Everything you think
burns down
everything you say.
I knew that our love was
just a car crash away.
Knew that our love was
just a car crash away.
Just a car crash away.
I knew that our love was
just a car crash away.
I knew that our love was
just a car Just crash away.
(repeat to end of solo)
Love is a fire.
Car Burns down all that it sees.
Burns down everything.
Everything you think
Crash burns down
everything you say.
Love is a fire.
Burns down all that it sees.
Away Burns down everything.
Everything you think
burns down
everything you say.
07 Evidence (05:20)
you have eyes that lead me on
and a body that shows me death
your lips look like they were made
for something else but they just suck my breath
I want your pain
to taste why you're ashamed and I know you're not just what you say to me and I'm not the only
moment you're made of
You're so sudden and sweet all legs, knuckle, knees
Head's blown clean off your mouth's paid off
Fuck me 'til we know it's unsafe and we'll paint
over the evidence
I want you wanting me
I want what I see in your eyes
so give me something to be scared of
don't give me something to satisfy
You're so sudden and sweet
all legs, knuckle, knees
Head's blown clean off
your mouth's paid off
Fuck me 'til we know it's unsafe and we'll paint
over the evidence
I want your pain
to taste why you're ashamed and I know you're not just what you say to me
and I'm not the only moment you're made of
You're so sudden and sweet all legs, knuckle, knees
Head's blown clean off your mouth's paid off
Fuck me 'til we know it's unsafe and we'll paint
over the evidence
You're so sudden and sweet all legs, knuckle, knees
Head's blown clean off your mouth's paid off
Fuck me 'til we know it's unsafe and we'll paint
over the evidence
08 Are You the Rabbit? (04:14)
I'm a kick stand in your mouth
And I'm the tongue's slamming on the brakes
Pull the choke in
Pull the choke in
As hard as it will take.
All your pictures are getting dirty
Don't want anyone else's
Hand on my gears.
And I'll choke on
All the diamonds,
Like a vulture, on your face
So ask your self before you get in,
I know the insurance won't cover this.
Are you the rabbit
Or the headlight,
And is there
Room in your life
For one more breakdown?
You can't escape,
Can't escape
All your demons.
All you demons,
"Watch out, watch out,
For your lovers."
Faster, faster,
Faster-faster-faster-faster,
I'm late, I'm late!
And the hands on my clock
Are starting to shake.
We're on the line between
The devil's tits,
We've been driving on E.
I'm going to be wanted for this crime
"Well at least you're wanted,"
You'll say.
So ask your self before you get in,
I know the insurance won't cover this.
Are you the rabbit
Or the headlight,
And is there
Room in your life
For one more breakdown?
You are an unmarked car
Can't remember where I parked you
But I love you,
Can't afford you,
Take a cab to the funeral.
Faster, faster,
Faster-faster-faster-faster,
I'm late, I'm late!
And the hands on my clock
Are starting to shake.
You can't escape,
Can't escape
All your demons.
All you demons,
"Watch out, watch out,
For your lovers."
So ask your self before you get in,
I know the insurance won't cover this.
Are you the rabbit
Or the headlight,
And is there
Room in your life
For one more breakdown?
09 Mutilation Is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery (03:53)
Hey
There's no rules today
You steal instead of borrow
You take all the shapes that I make
Think that you think all the thoughts that I taught you
Don't you?
Mutilation's the most sincere form of flattery.
If you want to be me,
Then stand in line like the rest
Now, do you know what I mean?
The young get less bolder
The legends get older
But I stay the same as long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you.
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you too,
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you too,
Do you really think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you.
Rebels without applause
I sell my shadow to those who are standing in it
They think I would bitch about them
Thinking they are the shit
When they can't even step in it
The young get less bolder
The legends get older
But I stay the same as long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you.
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you too,
The young get less bolder
The legends get older
But I stay the same as long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you.
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you too,
The young get less bolder
The legends get older
But I stay the same as long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you.
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you too,
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you too,
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you.
11 EAT ME, DRINK ME (05:41)
In the wasteland,
On the way to the Red Queen
It's no wonder our stage clothes
Have dreams to be famous.
The trees in the courtyard
Are painted in blood, so I've heard,
She hangs the headless upside down to drain.
EAT ME, DRINK ME
EAT ME, DRINK ME
This is only a game,
this is only a game
I was invited to a beheading today.
I thought I was a butterfly next to your flame.
Rush of panic and the lock has been raped.
This is only a game,
this is only a game...
But then our star rushes in, feeling like a child and looking like a woman...
She has been forecast with an attempt to kill herself, but the ending didn't test well.

EAT ME, DRINK ME
EAT ME, DRINK ME
This is only a game,
this is only a game,
this is only a game...
Now I'm picking my skin and my scales.
I see my horror mirrored in the sundown of your blank stare.
I see my horror mirrored in the sundown of your blank stare.

Un bluff, un finto cattivo che ammette di farlo per soldi, gloria e fama.
L'artista invece è defunto! Non riesce nemmeno più a tirare fuori il singolino carino come nei precedenti. R.I.P.
Di Sofy
La prima cosa che viene in mente a tutti è un tipo alto e magro, più truccato di Moira Orfei (di cui, a mio parere, è figlio illegittimo).
Dopo aver ascoltato "Eat me, drink me", ho constatato che Britney Spears è quasi più metal di Marilyn Manson.
Di Andy999
"Eat Me, Drink Me è un album buio, illuminato dalla luna e infestato da vampiri."
"Manson ci fa oltrepassare lo specchio, e ci fa vedere ciò che c’è dietro alle apparenze, in un viaggio alla 'Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie' fra le sue fantasie e riflessioni."
