| 2. Dreamstate Emergency
I have not slept for many days
Yet I have dreamt of the unseen
Now I have found this place in myself
I have dreamt of no control
And then I will see what the hate it can take
I will stand up to see what I really can be
I'll cry if I need to but I'll proceed to

Второй альбом датчан из Mnemic заметно отличается от своего предшественника, и, на мой взгляд, не в худшую сторону. Сохранив свой собственный стиль в целом, группа несколько отошла от понятия “future fusion metal”; прибавилось элементов грува, что меня весьма порадовало. Альбом получился не столь абстрактным, как дебютник датчан, на нем нет той «космической» атмосферы, и, хотя он, быть может, и уступает дебютнику в концепции, в плане музыкального материала «The Audio Injected Soul» явно сильней. В музыке словно бы прибавилось конкретности, а в связи с этим и хитовости, поэтому альбом вызывает больше интереса не в плане целостности работы, а по самостоятельности композиций. Все песни мощны и красивы, запоминаются с первого раза. Не подвело и исполнительское мастерство музыкантов, за что им отдельное спасибо. В итоге, мы имеем весьма интересный альбом, который слушается на одном дыхании и оставляет исключительно положительные эмоции, вкупе с желанием переслушать его еще и еще раз. Грамотная и сильная работа. Рекомендую. |

Прогресс Mnemic очевиден. Альбом намного сильнее своего предшественника. Творя в рамках все того же модерн-метала, группа сильно прибавила в плане мелодий, да и риффы стали более зубодробительными и разнообразными. Такие номера, как "Door 2.12" (с риффом в духе Soilwork) и "Mindsaver" просто не могут не радовать. На закуску - кавер Duran Duran "Wild boys". Нельзя обойти вниманием и продюсирование. Наисочнейший звук нарулил Tue Madsen. |

Второй альбом скандинавов получился более прямолинейным, нежели дебютник. Длительность песен заметно сократилась, выискивать сочные мелодии среди хитроумных ритмов уже не требуется, они выведены на первый план. Так что альбом по сравнению с дебютником несколько потерял в интересности прослушивания, зато теперь все песни на диске - первоклассные хиты! Да и в целом, суть музыки осталась та же: смесь трудновоспринимаемых ритмов и гармоний Meshugah с индустриально-холодной атмосферой и пронзительно цепкими мелодиями Fear Factory. Интересно, что "Sane vs. Normal" в припеве, где идёт речитатив басом, напомнил Cradle Of Filth =). А так, без колебаний, ставлю альбому 10 баллов! |

I have dreamt of this for so long
I feel my inner self will grow strong
And so I will break down, I'm blind to your ideas,
I don't want to be me, I can't stand the pain
And then I will see what the hate it can take
I will stand up to see what I really can be
I have dreamt of this for so long
I feel my inner self grow strong
If I can only be what they want
I'm me, exploding into history
I dream of leaving this
Kill this and never come back,
Never fuckin' return
I dream of me - Kill this, my dream
I have not slept for many days
Yet I have dreamt of no control
And then I will see what the hate it can take
I will stand up to see what I really can be
I'll cry if I need to but I'll proceed to
A state of hate ad to be a vision of me
I have dreamt of this for so long
I feel my inner self will grow strong
If i can only be what they want
I'm me, exploding into history.
3. Door 2.12
You can tell it to my face, but I will never know what you mean
Silence triggers the adrenaline, some things are never meant to be seen
Steel plate nailed into the corner; be sure that people know what it means
The rooms is empty yet so full of lives, not everything is what it seems
Hesitating or speeding, it's all just a bleeding way to be
Heading down the same old road, that'll lead you to the place I see
I've been there
Do you see - do you see me - do you see what I mean
Be sure that...
The sun never shines behind door 2.12
It gotta be cold behind door 2.12
Eyes closed, everything's at ease, I get to go where no one goes when alive
If you'd seen the things I've seen you'd know that there's no way to survive
The sun never shines behind door 2.12
It gotta be cold behind door 2.12
This is peace of mind behind door 2.12
I feel so cold behind door 2.12
Do you see - do you see me - do you see what I mean.
4. Illuminate
Into the fire again (I'll light it up)
Deadly with venom and sin (your time is up)
I'll poison your mind (you'll poison yourself)
With things you can't find (no, you can't find)
I can't see frustration within me and
You're on your knees again (and so are you)
Want to escape my hand (I'll take you down)
I rule your every move (no, I rule you)
You're tempted by groove (and you by sound)
I really need this, I'm...
Pushing the sticks right into myself
I got no way to control this
I need the pain more than anything
I need to feel I'm alive
You're bleeding cuz of me (you're bleeding yourself)
You'll pay the devils fee (but the devil is me)
The veins in my arm (and the veins in mine)
Are on overload (they will explode)
I will explode, I'm...
[Chorus]
So many times I've taken the wrong road and still
I control you
The essence of revenge is not in you
It's in me and I don't need it
I swear if I go down I'll take you with me
There's a blow right to your face, what a violent entry
Can you feel me in your head
I know what you need, you need my pain
And everything you lose I seem to gain
I'll take it all
I will explode, I hurt you cuz I really need this, I'm...
[Chorus]
5. Deathbox
I'm not in a state of despair
Nothing seems to fit my mind
And although I can't be there
I still know that there's a place for someone
Just like me
Now will I ever wake up
Wake up to see the box I'm in
And will I ever stand up
I'm standing on the edge of inability
And though I'm trying it still penetrates my body
All these demons that I carry deep inside
The changing faces forces me to leave the traces
Of the stranger things that are growing in my mind
Oh I know that I have
Done this once or twice before
The names are still a blur
I'm arrogantly close to falling of the edge
I know I'm not insane
Though my head hurts on the inside
The images disturb me
I know I'm not insane, I'm not what they call me
They're no good - Still surrounding me
Forcing my actions upon me
The blood just paint my world
They're no good - Still surrounding me
Forcing my actions upon me
They're forcing my actions upon my deathbox
And though I'm trying it still penetrates my body
All these demons that I carry deep inside
The changing faces force me to leave the traces
Of the stranger things that's growing in my mind
Now will I ever wake up
Wake up to see the box I'm in
And will I ever stand up
I'm standing on the edge of inability
Now is this a failure
My project kill is right awake
I'm all burned out from pressure
My thoughts have brought me to my knees
Awake in pain
They're no good - Still surrounding me
Forcing my actions upon me
The blood just paints my world
They're no good - Still surrounding me
Forcing my actions upon me
They're forcing my actions upon my deathbox
6. Sane vs. Normal
Hello Mr. Richway, welcome to the sunset hotel. Thank you, I'll
fuckin' rape and kill
A girl to quote myself. Needles to say that this is a habit. "I take
it cuz I can't have it"!.
The bloody moves to grooves that are the dance of death. Skin to barbed wire
In a final breath. I made the mistakes I couldn't afford to make.
Hell, they even
Knocked on my door because they found a girl dead in the lake.
They won't catch me again - I've grown beyond my time and now...
I moved beyond recognition. I clearly lost count, an escalation of schism.
Still not sure why I do this. An overwhelming urge to reach a state of bliss?
I got it all pinned down and...
The hammer hit the nail - but I can't let them live - It's all too late for me
It's all too late for me
I hear them begging me
But I can't let them live
I can't let them live
Spill the blood and hide the bodies.
Dead girls don't tell of my done deeds. Hell, they'll do it for money.
I'll do them for free. I'm Mr. Richway, "Don't give a fuck what the bitch say"!
I told you I got it all pinned down and now...
The hammer hit the nail - But I can't let them live - It's all too late for me
It's all too late for me
I hear the begging me
But i can't let them live
I can't let them live.
7. Jack Vegas
Flash my face no intro needed
My self-awareness has not been mistreated
Ten times the fire on a blackened sky
I won't break my in a selfish try just to
Create my ideal picture
Sex is free and my check's nine figures
The gold on my teeth draw the attention
Away from my suit, pure velvet body suspension
You know who I am
Jack's the name, style in a frame
My ego is fit and my account the same
Shelby GT, black eyes behind shades
I get out of bed as the daylight fades on me
I will knock you out - By sheer appearance
Blinded by grace - You know me
Sharpened moves - To clear interference
You know my face - Yeah you know me
You know
I feel your eyes on me; I know you're watching me
Who I am
I know it's hard to say, want to be me in every way
There's nothing wrong with the things I do
I only do them because you want me to
Ignorant, the things I do despise
What you don't understand, I'm beyond life and you
I will knock you out - by sheer appearance
Blinded by grace - you know me
Sharpened moves - to clear interference
You know my face - yeah you know me.
8. Mindsaver
Save me from my mind
I never wanted to go down like this
Why don't you save me
Show me my options that requires decisions
In an infinite line of reactions and visions
My good, my bad, my excellent choice
So innocent, my angry voice
The view of life all clean from noise
My eyes Lie
And when we're in the locomotive
I don't know what to do
Cuz I still know that I can't change
The lies that turn into truth
A part of you, a part of me
I don't know what to do
To realize the depth of life, it's just that...
A flaming desire for an innocent lust
Can change a lifetime in a second of trust
Can change the future, it'll turn out the light
We'll never know if this was right
My eyes lie
Save me from my mind
I never wanted to go down like this
Why don't you save me
From what's inside of me, what's inside of me?
It'll drive you mad if you start to think that:
The ones you turned would maybe never have met
The love of their life in a life that they hate
The drunkdriver that decided their fate
The dad of their child who's not so great
The emergency call to late
Eyes that meet and then look away
Gives birth to the thoughts of this inner decay
So action is taken after dreams that are breaking
Are turning their back to a mind that was faking
The things we do today will make tomorrow turn a different way
Completely blank, nothing to say
My eyes lie
Save me from my mind
I never wanted to go down like this
Why don't you save me
From what's inside of me.
9. Overdose In The Hall Of Fame
I don't need to be like you - cuz this place belongs to me
I'm far beyond the walls you see
My mind's ablaze and numb somehow
Sunrise as my mind it sets on finding ways to block that river
It flows with the blood that is life, I got my mind made up,
I shiver
Electroshock these thoughts right through my brain
An obsession I can't kill
I don't want to kill my mind, it breathes, it feeds, I know it's
Doing well
The sacrifice will come soon enough. There's no evil
Underneath here
I don't need to be anything like you - cuz this place belongs to me
I'm far beyond the walls you see
My mind's ablaze and numb somehow
Unlike things that I control I don't want to kill my feelings
I know you want me to get in line and submit
To your intentions
I don't need to be anything like you - cuz this place belongs to me
I'm far beyond the walls you see
My mind's ablaze and numb somehow.
10. The Silver Drop
Penetrate my will to speak, this feeling just won't go away
Straight line through my soul and feel inability to stop this today
Hardline the drug affection, at least I know how to hurt it to perfection
The silver drop gets under my skin, my skin
I wake up - Now I'm alone again
I've been here - I didn't like it then
I bleed cuz - this is what I am
My last shot - now make me twice the man
This is what I am
And I know my time will come, my time to cross the nation
With screams of insane heresy, I label minds in frustration
Come on and lead me into the light
Twenty reasons to guide me
I need a reason to stand up and fight
Need to believe what I see
The stars are shining on me tonight
I need my wishes to come true
But through the cure I need is in sight
I'll never make it through
Reason is only a matter of opinion
Control is only an illusion to spit on
Bring my coffee, a truth to lean on
My silence is bought and my beliefs are all gone
Innocent as a new born child, no need to point your fingers
I never did the things you say, I never hurt no one in anyway so...
Come on and lead me into the light
Twenty reasons to guide me
I need a reason to stand up and fight
Need to believe what I see
The stars are shining on me tonight
I need my wishes to come true
But through the cure I need is in sight
I'll never make it through
And I know that they don't want me
And I see what it's beyond me.
11. Wild Boys
Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys
The wild boys are calling on there way back from the fire
In August moon's surrender to a dust cloud on the rise
Wild boys fallen far from glory reckless and so hungered
On the razors edge you trail because there's murder
By the roadside in a sore afraid new world
They tried to break us looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it, wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys, never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine
You got sirens for their welcome there's bloodstain for your pain
And your telephone been ringing while you're dancing in the rain
Wild boys wonder where is glory where is all you angels
Now the figureheads have fell
And lovers war with arrows over secrets they could tell
They tried to tame you looks like they'll try again
Wild boys never lose it, wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys, never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine.
