| 1. Be All, End All
Yes, no, yes, no
Not, another word
You'll know what to do
Right!
In your face they see it
In their face you...
Take it
Make up their minds
Aggression turns the screws
Fight!
Take your piece and hold it
Make your piece and...
Stand up, you know what it means
Wake up |

Сложно сказать, почему Эйфория не так популярна в народе. Наверное, потому что стояла, да и всё ещё стоит в тени шедеврального Among The Living (1987), отчасти, потому что не предложила ничего принципиальо нового, являясь скорее мостиком между уже упомянутым Among The Living и Persistance Of Time (1990). А придраться-то в музыкальном плане и не к чему: это натуральный Антракс «эры Беладонны», на высоте все участники группы, даже Дениска Спичкин наиграл неплохих соляков. Наклёвывающаяся Инерция Времени действительно местами прослушивается.
Такста кусаются, как и положено. Темы касаются чуть ли не экзистенциальной философии, когда надо биться до последнего, деже если кажется, что в этом нет смысла, «а смерть – не самоубийство»; конформизма и телепроповедников; плевков в сторону яппи (Antisocial - концертный гимн «эры Беладонны»); «невидимок» наших городов – бомжей; неврозов и расизма; давления, под которым оказываются люди искусства...Вот « хитов» действительно маловато: кроме Be All End All, Make Me Laugh, Antisocial, Who Cares Wins, в общем-то назвать нечего. Посему получается, что альбом – добротный Антракс, но на этом, в общем-то, и всё. |

Anthrax - «State of Euphoria» (1988).
Этот альбом завершает трилогию раздолбайских шедевров («Spreading the Disease», «Among the Living», «State of Euphoria») и одновременно открывает дилогию концептуально-монументальных творений («State of Euphoria» и «Persistance of Time»).
Песни стали (относительно) более сложными по структуре, интереснее и длиннее, не утратив при этом весёлости композиций из предыдущих дисков.
Участники группы за время крупномасштабного мирового турне, которое было проведено в поддержку «Among the Living», явно поднабрались опыта. В особенности это касается Джои Белладонны и Дени Спица. Вокальные партии первого просто замечательные - высокий, красивый, мелодичный, без единого хрипа голос, идеально вписывающийся в мощно-скоростную музыку. Ну а Дени Спиц, с каждым новым альбомом радующий нас всё больше и больше, тоже постарался на славу. Остальные музыканты как всегда на высоте.
Песни не были такими популярными, как на предыдущем альбоме, но это не значит, что они плохие. Выделю следующие треки: «Be All, End All», неожиданно начинающаяся с интро на скрипке; «Make Me Laugh», в которой Белладонна раскрыл себя на все 100%; «Who Cares Wins» с интересным текстом про бомжей. Вот вторая половина диска совсем не хитовая, можно выделить разве что «Now It's Dark». Но, несмотря на это, группа удержала высокую планку, и диск получил «золото» по продажам.
Вывод: интересный и к сожалению лишённый хитовости диск. |

Down by,
Law and they can't hold you
Dictate and control you
Hold onto your ideas
Down by,
Law and no one owns you
And all the shit they've thrown you
Pay back as a real bitch
Nothing's ever easy when you do it yourself
All you can do is try
Life's not unfair, life's just life
Death not suicide
Be all, and you'll be the end all
Life can be a real ball
State of mind
Euphoria
Think,
On your feet, and stay one step ahead
Break
Take your brain and use it
Take their mind and...
Change,
An attitude, like you'd change your shorts
Right!
In your face they see it
In their face you...
Stand up, you know what it means
Wake up, time to live your dreams
Down by,
Law and they can't hold you
Dictate and control you
Hold onto your ideas
Down by,
Law and no one owns you
And all the shit they've thrown you
Pay back as a real bitch
Nothing's ever easy when you do it yourself
All you can do is try
Life's not unfair, life's just life
Death not suicide
Be all, and you'll be the end all
Life can be a real ball
State of mind
Euphoria
Always taking, always faking
Ignorance is so frustrating
Always taking, always faking
Ignorance is,
No way, no way, no way, no way out!
[CHORUS]
2. Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind
You've got nothing to say
We can't hear you anyway
Your unconscious, wake up
Smell the coffee, catch the next bus
You don't hear it, not there
Haven't seen it anywhere
Ignorance is bliss
Before you did we exist
Don't even think about anything
Don't even think about anything
Tell me something I don't know
How'd you get this job you own
I think that...
All you need is a, all you need is a,
All you need is a, all you need is a face!
Out of sight, out of mind
It was yours but now it's mine
Take a riff, take a line
Out of sight, out of mind
Don't even think about anything
Out of sight, out of mind
You can't see but you're not blind
What's your purpose, in life
What the hell gives you the right to
Take what's been done, before
Change the name and make it yours, Oh
Yes you made your statement
Do you have to be so blatant
Your so conscious, image
With a gun you'd do no damage
Don't even think about anything
Don't even think about anything
Tell me something I don't know
How'd you get this job you own
I think that...
All you need is a, all you need is a,
All you need is a, all you need is a face!
Out of sight, out of mind
It was yours but now it's mine
Take a riff, take a line
Out of sight, out of mind
Don't even think about anything
Out of sight, out of mind
You can't see but you're not blind
Stupid, dumb, idiot, moron, you really make
me sick
Take your head out from up your ass
Right here, right now but it won't last
No it won't
Out of sight, out of mind
It was yours but now it's mine
Take a riff, take a line
Out of sight, out of mind
Stupid, dumb, idiot, moron
Out of sight, out of mind
You can't see but you're not blind
[CHORUS]
3. Make Me Laugh
Spread the word
Through me God is heard
You're making me laugh
Tell me your killin' joke
Evangelist
You're making me laugh
Jesus saves
But only after I've been paid
You're making me laugh
Tell me your killin' joke
Evangelist
End your hoax
God says have a T.V. show
God says baby do some blow
God says taxes are a sin
God says pour the money in
Rape the poor, faith no more
Faith for cash, make me laugh
Faith no more, face the whore
Rape your past, make me laugh
Never, never, ever sin
Unless God says to stick it in
You're making me laugh
Tell me your killin' joke
Evangelist
The truth can choke
Defrocked from your seat
Don't shit where you eat
You're making me laugh
Tell me your killin' joke
That God talks to you
There's no hope
God says have a T.V. show
God says baby do some blow
God says taxes are a sin
God says pour the money in
Rape the poor, faith no more
Faith for cash, make me laugh
Faith no more, face the whore
Rape your past, make me laugh
God says have a swimming pool
God say keep the doghouse cool
God says planes and boats and cars
God says have an amusement park
God says go and masturbate
God says file taxes late
God says paint your face all sick
God says be a real prick
God says have a T.V. show
God says baby do some blow
God says taxes are a sin
God says pour the money in
[CHORUS]
4. Antisocial
You're a train ride to no importance
You're in love with hell existence
Money is all that you desire
Why don't you pack it in and retire
It's common nature you can't fool me
I'm just the money that you can't let free
Rainy day genius clouds your mind
Don't you realize the blind lead the blind
You're anti, you're antisocial
Oh mister time will you ever unwind
Or just rebuild a new design
Your claim to fame is law and order
The rich get rich, the poor get poor
You put a price tag on what you see
This one's for you, that's for me
If that's winning I'd rather lose
Why don't you listen to my senseless views
You're anti, you're antisocial
How do you feel?
You're a train ride to no importance
You're in love with hell existence
Money is all that you desire
Why don't you pack it in and retire
It's common nature you can't fool me
I'm just the money that you can't let free
Rainy day genius clouds your mind
Don't you realize the blind lead the blind
You're anti, you're antisocial
ANTISOCIAL......
5. Who Cares Wins
Close your eyes to the horror
Close your eyes to the pain
When you live in a box
No one knows your name
Living in the street
Moms and kids with nothing to eat
Welfare hotels
Who says there's no place called hell
I can't see you
I can't hear you
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Who cares wins
There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god
Who cares, who cares, who cares, who cares
There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god...
Go you or I
Open your eyes
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Invisible could be my name
Your excuses are so lame
Real pleas fall on deaf ears
Look away when I'm near
Freezing cold in winter's heat
Burning up can be a treat
Blisters breaking on my feet
At least I get a subway seat
I can't see you
I can't hear you
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Who cares wins
There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god
Who cares, who cares, who cares, who cares
There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god...
Go you or I
Open your eyes
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Who cares wins
Self help and preservation
Not now I'm on vacation
Priority is you
And screw all those around you
Now's the time for you to share
Indifference you have to care
Deep inside you know it's true
How do I get through to you
Open your eyes to the horror
Open your eyes to the pain
When you live in a box
No one knows your name
[CHORUS]
6. Now It's Dark
In dreams I can rule your life
With me nothing's ever right
Sing for me up on a stage
Keep your mind trapped in a cage
I'm your man I'm what you need
Dance with me but never lead
One deep breath will set me free
Don't you fuckin' look at me
You know that I am...
One fuckin' well-dressed man!
Now it's dark, but I can see
Don't you fuckin' look at me
Now it's dark, your gonna be
Exactly what I want to see
Now it's dark, Mommy
Don't you fuckin' look at me
A sensation
Of elation
Intoxication
Now it's dark
A candy coated existence
Underneath is decadence
What was hidden you have found
Made it your own battleground
Pretty, pretty don't say please
Don't you fuckin' look at me
You know that I am...
One fuckin' well-dressed man!
Now it's dark, but I can see
Don't you fuckin' look at me
Now it's dark, your gonna be
Exactly what I want to see
Now it's dark, Mommy
Don't you fuckin' look at me
A sensation
Of elation
Intoxication
Now it's dark
I'll send you a love letter
Straight from the bottom of my heart
You'll be fucked forever
The candy coated clown's done his part
I'm your man I'm what you need
Dance with me but never lead
One deep breath will set me free
Don't you fuckin' look at me
You know that I am...
One fuckin' well-dressed man!
[CHORUS]
7. Schism
Don't look at me as a white man
I'm just a man
Don't look at me as a black man
I'm just a man
It takes a man to deal with ignorance
Prove that you can
Like having to climb a barbwire fence
Can ya tell me how it feels to be hated?
Can ya tell me how it feels to be loved?
Can you show me what it
means to be respected?
Or is the answer none of the above?
It's so easy to hate your brother
It should be hard
It's so easy to hate your friends
Why ain't it hard?
Love and hate come in the deck together
Play your card
Love or hate can rule your life forever
Can ya tell me how it feels to be hated?
Can ya tell me how it feels to be loved?
Can you show me what it means to be respected?
Or is the answer none of the above?
Hating, fighting, lying, and I can't take...
Bitching, screwing, crying, and I just hate...
Taking, cheating, spying, and I can't take...
Hating, fighting, dissing, fighting, fighting,
Fighting...
And I can't take no...
SCHISM!
Schism, SK, SK, SK, SCHISM
A house divided can't stand
Prejudice is un-natural thought
When we were kids
It's not inherited, it's taught
When we were kids
If we were blind and had no choice
Differences hid
Would we hate each other by the
tone of our voice?
Can ya tell me how it feels to be hated?
Can ya tell me how it feels to be loved?
Can you show me what it
means to be respected?
Or is the answer none of the above?
Hating, fighting, lying, and I can't take...
Bitching, screwing, crying, and I just hate...
Taking, cheating, spying, and I can't take...
Hating, fighting, dissing, fighting, fighting,
Fighting...
And I can't take no...
SCHISM!
[CHORUS]
8. Misery Loves Company
I can hear you, I can hear you, lying
I can see you, I can see you, faking
I don't think you're, I don't think
you're, working
I want you to,
I want you to, I want you to...
Write for me, and only me
A really extra special story
Make it mine, every line
Don't make me sorry
It's what I want, It's what I want
And I'll tell you what
You know me, and I can be
A very, very vicious critic
Another fans appreciation
A do-be, don't-be situation
Drag me down into your hatred
Misery loves company
I'm your number one fan
Misery loves company
Misery
Misery loves company
I'm your number one fan
Misery loves company
Die with me
I'll take good care, I'll take great care of you
Listen to me, listen to me you fool
Body and soul, body and soul, you're mine
I want you to,
I want you to, I want you to...
Write for me, and only me
A really extra special story
Make it mine, every line
Don't make me sorry
It's what I want, It's what I want
And I'll tell you what
You know me, and I'll show you
How to keep your filthy mouth shut
Another fans appreciation
A do-be, don't-be situation
Drag me down into your hatred
Misery loves company
I'm your number one fan
Misery loves company
Misery
Misery loves company
I'm your number one fan
Misery loves company
Die with me
Take, take, take, take, another
pound of my flesh
I'm givin' blood
You, you, you, you, should only have the best
I'm givin' blood
What the hell is, what the hell is happening?
I'm the one that made you into the king
Don't turn your back on, turn your back on,
my help
I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I will
I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill...
Write for me, and only me
A really extra special story
Make it mine, every line
Don't make me sorry
It's what I want, It's what I want
And I'll tell you what
You know me, and I can be
A very, very vicious critic
Another fans appreciation
A do-be, don't-be situation
Drag me down into your hatred
[CHORUS]
9. Finale
Life can be so wonderful
Real love this time you fool
And then you wake up
And you'd chew off your own arm
Or face the only graduate from Satan's school of charm!
I hear your mama callin' you
I hear your mama callin' you
You'd better stand and face the truth boy
I hear your mama callin' you
I drink three six packs, just so I can look at your face
Finally!
You give respect, you get respect
And you just don't know your place
Finally!
You never learn, you always burn
Now I've got you off of my case
Finally!
I drank three six packs, just so I could look at your face
Finally!
See ya!
Over, finished, gone, done, out!
She's not the one you married
Not the one who cared
Maybe it's her evil twin that's got you by the short hairs
Can you live without it?
Can you be a man?
Can you tell her take a walk and stick it up her can!
I hear your mama callin' you
I hear your mama callin' you
You'd better stand and face the truth boy
I hear your mama callin' you
I drink three six packs, just so I can look at your face
Finally!
You give respect, you get respect
And you just don't know your place
Finally!
You never learn, you always burn
Now I've got you off of my case
Finally!
I drank three six packs, just so I could look at your face
Finally!
See ya!
Over, finished, gone, done, out!
I hear your mama callin' you
I hear your mama callin' you
Now go and pack your bags we're through
I hear your mama callin' you
Rape my mind led down the wrong path
One too many rides and you crashed
Had the looks but had no class
Steal my life and taint my past
Sorry I don't mean to laugh (take it Sam)
How long have you been waiting to be set free?
Don't you know it's easy as 1, 2, 3
Don't be a faggot now that's the key
Don't you know it's easy as 1, 2, 3
Now I'm free, now I'm free, me me me, finally!!!
Over, finished, gone, done, out!!!!
