Un bravo recensore dovrebbe essere obiettivo e non lasciarsi troppo prendere dall'emozione, dovrebbe descrivere un album traccia per traccia, invogliare il lettore ad ascoltare il cd. Ebbene in questo caso non me ne vogliate ma farò un'eccezione alla regola, perchè di recensire un album di questo calibro in questo modo proprio non ci riesco.
Anno: 2000, Luogo: Greensburg, Pennyslvania, USA . Qui l'emocore tocca la vetta più alta mai raggiunta, neanche nel corso degli anni a venire, da un gruppo emo. Immaginate di non avere pensieri nella testa, perdete completamente il contatto con la realtà, lasciatevi andare e solo così potrete apprezzare a pieno la grandezza di questo disco, dove una voce, quella di Brett Detar, vi entrerà dentro adattandosi perfettamente a pezzi tirati come ad esempio "To The Tune Of 5,000 Screaming Children", o ancora a pezzi completamente differenti, come ad esempio "Something Isn't Right Here" e "We're At The Top Of The World". Non mancano ovviamente quei pezzi indimenticabili come "Into The Dark", prima traccia dell'album, e "Is Patience Still Waiting?".
Molto belle anche la strumentale "Emotion Is Dead pt.1". A mio parere però, la canzone più bella dell'album e una delle più belle in ambito emocore, è "You Always Say Goodnight, Goodnight", struggente ballata strappalacrime di nove minuti, un pezzo indimenticabile che non vi stancherà mai, neanche dopo ripetuti ascolti. Per non parlare poi dei testi, siamo in ambito emo, indi ragion per cui i testi sono orientati verso amori non corrisposti, cuori infranti e tanto altro....
E' un album bello, fatto con il cuore e con la testa, con passione e determinazione.. è difficile recensire un album del genere, è un concentrato infinito di emozioni, indescrivibili a parole. L'unica cosa che spero è che qualcuno qui lo abbia sentito e mi dia la sua opinione in merito...l'unico consiglio che posso darvi è di procurarvi il cd, e dopo il primo ascolto già ve ne sarete innamorati!

01 Into the Dark (01:38)
Dad, your boy is about to fall
He walks the razor's edge
He's on the brink of fading out
He's at his bitter end
Dad, your boy who used to run
You taught him how to crawl...
He left home to find his own (He left home to find his own)
Now all he had is gone
In your eyes, I see a darkness that torments you
And in your head where it dwells
I'd give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it
Let's walk away from this hell (Hell...)
In your eyes, I see a darkness that torments you
And in your head where it dwells
I'd give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it
Let's walk away from this hell (Hell...)
Mom, your baby is on his way
He'll soon be at your side
Cause he's forgotten all he's known
A part of him has died (Died)
Mom may never understand
Why baby's come and gone
He left home to find his own (He left home to find his own)
Now all he has are lies
In your eyes, I see a darkness that torments you
And in your head where it dwells
I'd give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it
Let's walk away from this hell (Hell...)
In your eyes, I see a darkness that torments you
And in your head where it dwells
I'd give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it
Let's walk away from this hell (Hell...)
In your eyes...
In your eyes...
In your eyes...
In your eyes...
In your eyes, I see a darkness that torments you
And in your head where it dwells
I'd give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it
Let's walk away from this hell (Hell...)
In your eyes, I see a darkness that torments you
And in your head where it dwells
I'd give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it
Let's walk away from this hell... (Hell...)
03 To the Tune of 5,000 Screaming Children (03:54)
(What you want is what you get)
We knew you'd hate this before we wrote it.
So listen up, we're telling you before you tell us.
We're not misinformed or misdirected,
functioning on your subjective.
Your hatred only fuels us on.
Now how about a word or two on you?
You're an alias, an email address.
We lay a lot more out than you do.
You Do!!! You Do!!!(3x)
We won't be part of your revolution.
So listen up, we're telling you this is a business.
We're not misinformed or misdirected.
We'll make our own insurrection.
So keep on publishing our wrongs.
Now how about a word or two on you?
You're a paper fist, a faceless attack.
We're not about to break like you do.
You Do!!!(4x)
Come on!!!!!!!!!!
We're not misinformed or misdirected.
Your hatred only fuels us on.
05 Is Patience Still Waiting? (03:53)
Will there ever be time enough?
Or are we just too naive?
I haven't just given up.
Oh God, I still believe.
Is patience still waiting?
Will I wait on my knees too?
Are you laughing at us today?
And is this just one big game?
Now cash me in while you can
We never were the same.
Is patience still waiting?
Will I wait on my knees too?
Come on
Will you ever have all you want?
And are we just next in line?
Don't throw out your one good chance
You only have this time.
10 Understand the Dream Is Over (02:58)
Here is my new disposition.
You're about to understand.
Our theory is only obvious
to the skeptical,
and at the bitter end.
You're staring at a white page
and the print is plain to see.
Now turn the page and read what's written.
It's your history.
Do you understand?
Chorus:
The dream is over.
You haven't slept in years.
Don't be looking for answers.
You're better following trails.
The dream is over.
You haven't slept in years.
Don't be looking for answers.
You're better following trails.
You're staring at a black screen.
Your body starts to tense.
When two plus two
is five or less
it's time to question common sense.
Silence is a secret,
a weapon in disguise.
Listen to the silence. Open up your eyes.
Do you understand?
Chorus
Bridge:
Do you decide what
you hear and believe?
Tell me who makes
your mind up for you.
Do you believe what
you see to be true?
Can you tell me who
owns the truth?
Who bought the truth?
What is your disposition?
Here is my new disposition.
You're about to understand.
Our theory is only obvious to the skeptical
and at the bitter end.
