Ancora un grande album. Il gruppo floridiano ritorna alla grande e dopo la furia, la violenza e le emozioni di "The Opposite Of December" sforna un altro album di grandissimo ed originale metal hardcore come solo lui sa fare. Inizio subito con il dire che quest'album si differenzia notevolmente dal precedente in fatto di stile, infatti vediamo i nostri avvicinarsi ancora di più nella ricerca di sonorità melodiche, soprattutto nell'emo... Ora non fraintendetemi, non è affatto vero che si sono rammolliti come molti credono, anzi, non hanno perso neanche un po' la loro vena incazzata. Moreira nelle parti urlate è ancora il mostro che conosciamo e lo stesso dicasi per gli altri del gruppo che, anzi, a livello di tecnica sembra essere quasi migliorata. Il fatto è che, proprio perchè la band cerca di rendere più melodiche le canzoni, non troviamo più tanto la goduria nell'ascoltare i piccoli sprazzi di luce di "The Opposite Of December" appunto perchè le canzoni sono deliniate in modo diverso. Ma regalano ancora emozioni, e lo fanno alla grande. Prendete "Botchla", è l'iniziale perfetta per la nuova era Poison The Well, riesce a riassumere benissimo l'attitudine del gruppo. Inoltre riescono ancora a farci strappare qualche lacrima, prendete lo splendido e commovente finale di "Turn Down Elliot", o l'acustica "Horn And Tails", o i caldi refrain melodici, giocati sul filo dell'alternanza umorale, di "Stick And Stones...". Insomma, ancora un disco geniale. I nostri non hanno perso la loro genialità e la loro attitudine, seppure in questo secondo lavoro cercano soluzioni diverse, prendendo un po' più dal classico metalcore e dall'emo ("Moments Over Exaggerate" e "Pieces Of You In Me" rendono l'idea). Insomma, che dire? Pur non raggiungendo i livelli del disco precedente, anche qui si sente la genialità di questo grande gruppo e la loro dannatissima tendenza a creare capolavori sembra non volersi proprio fermare.
Elenco tracce testi e video
01 Botchla (03:10)
But I adore her
This will never happen
But I adore her
That will never happen
over my dead body
of course I think about it
burn my path if it does
shape my body as I feel torn
shape my body as I feel torn, broken
and if it happens
I'll burn and crawl deeper
in my hole
darkness always says hello
and your burning body will light my way
burning body
light my way
02 Lazzaro (03:00)
you say I need you
but how about the demons in my head
I'm sure you don't miss them
cup my ears over and over when you speak
and I can't believe that you are here
I hate your eyes
It's been nice without you
and every word you say affecting me
keep your hands and your knees
because you'll need them later
you always smell the same
everything smells of you
I hate your eyes
you always smell the same
everything smells of you
you wanted it all
but now you can't see
what you adored in me
kill me again and again
so I can relive every moment with you
03 Turn Down Elliot (04:00)
With every part of mine
fall away with every bit of you
I miss me
give me some place to find
I'll meet cold everyday
think of all I need you around
but for now anyways
hands held tight around me leave me
hands held tight around me
with every part of mine
fall away with every bit of you
I miss me
give me some place to find
I'll meet cold everyday
think of all I need you around
but for now anyway
hands held tight around me leave me
hands held tight around
I'll hang neck tight from anything for you
skies most wanted good-byes
you missed my face again
04 Rings From Corona (02:47)
With everything I've dragged in
venomous beings and all
It's nice to think that everything falls into place
but it doesn't
so guilty
so weak
so lost without you
now I know so guilty
so weak
stop calling me
please keep calling me
open your mouth to see if it's the truth
turn around so you can't see me say I miss you
stop calling
keep calling
stop calling me
05 Moments Over Exaggerate (03:15)
Open everything around
how I want to say kiss me
you don't want to ruin anything
daring and beautiful stones
AIM at me
you never AIM at me
cursed with never being seen in your dreams
I'll walk around dead to you
I'll lie around dead to me
I feel soon
you'll wake with imaginary dreams
and wanting to hold this memory
always wondering who's coming to save
who's saving me
cursed with never being seen in your dreams
I'll walk around dead to you
I'll lie around dead to me
open everything around so all can see
how fast you waved good-bye
06 Horns and Tails (02:43)
Gray chairs cold but here for me
thankfully I don't miss your skin
or the way that you always have something to say
lose myself in you
cut it into you
with my rusty fingers
what I'd do for one more day
without you
I'm leaving again on metal heart breaker
all I wanted to say was
fuck you
miles away but you still seem to be here
I never took your eyes out of my bag
07 Sticks and Stones Never Made Sense (03:35)
Thought that I would shove everything aside
to shake your hand.
Barbed wire wouldn't come fast enough.
Why does your name leave a bad taste in my mouth
when it rolls off my tongue?
In your world, excuses mean everything.
Stitch me for days because
I keep splitting myself for--self for you.
Why does your face seem better on the floor?
Have you thought about death today?
Ask me, I'll help.
I keep splitting my..self..for..
You never knew me.
These are my last words,
not that it matters anymore.
08 Pieces of You in Me (03:01)
you never understand
When you always act the same
Oh beautiful your lips taste of red
copper always excited me
I need to hear your laugh
When I'm dying on the other line
You perform better when I'm not near you
And it cracks
The world spins away
I'm flying again
I can't believe that this is over again
Pieces will carry away pieces of you in me
