2. Time Waits For Noone
[Music by: P. Wagner, M. Schmidt]
[Lyrics by : P. Wagner]
You don't like what you see
you don't know what it means and what it's like.
You close your eyes, you're afraid that all you
have learned has changed

Немцы продолжают уверенно идти к своей цели. На этом альбоме это отчетливо видно. От альбома к альбому звучание их композиций становится напористей, хитовей и более запоминаемой. Релиз 1989 года порадовал еще более жесткой и мелодичной лид-секцией. Больше запоминаемых проигрышей и четких ритм-риффов. Стиль можно охарактеризовать, как полноценный speed-power без каких-либо нареканий. Вокал Пиви здесь еще в форме фальцета, но уже достаточно выразителен и разборчив. Можно сказать, что в вокальном плане заметен некоторый прогресс. Возможно, это связанно с улучшением качества записи - звук действительно стал плотнее и чище, чем раньше. Все инструменты звучат четко, что позволяет отследить целенаправленную speed-составляющую – четкий, хорошо слышимый бас вместе с басовой бочкой здесь играют очень важную роль. Соло- и ритм-гитары также радуют, хоть и не приводят в экстаз. Несколько композиций можно отметить, как очень хорошие. Шикарный скоростной номер «Invisible Horizons» радует в первую очередь скоростью и сильным вокалом. Также здесь наблюдается классный припев и куча интересных риффов. Очень впечатляет композиция «She» - яростный и запоминаемый припев и идущий с ним рифф. Эпик «Without A Trace» также удался – классный и запоминаемый номер с классными классическими ритм риффами и классными акустическими переходами. К просто хорошим запомнившимся вещам могу отнести боевики «Time Waits for Noone», «Light Into The Darkness» и «Distant Voices». В итоге, имеем хороший альбом. Благодаря своей хитовости он на балл лучше предыдущего. Советую ознакомиться.

Выпустили четыре альбома, испытали перемены состава, меняли стилистику, и все еще оставались в поиске. На этот раз пошли по пути усложнения, что вылилось в самый трудный для понимания альбом RAGE. Затруднения возникают даже при определении стиля: пауэр, хэви, спид и даже иногда трэш закручиваются в слегка причудливых сочетаниях. Мелодии, на первый взгляд, тоже трудновоспринимаемы. И вполне вероятно, что непонятными для вас они останутся и на втором, и на третьем прослушивании. Песни не развернули, но подкорректировали направление, в котором они у RAGE развивались с 85-го года, и чтобы идти по нем же, придется вслушаться повнимательнее, чем обычно. В первую очередь это касается таких, слегка заковыристых, вещей, как «Make My Day», «Distant Voices», «Without A Trace». Последняя вообще стоит особняком во всем творчестве группы – девятиминутный эпик из трех частей. Но есть здесь песни и более простого характера, например «Invisible Horizons», одна из самых хитовых на альбоме; «Light Into The Darkness», текст которой отговорил одного фаната от самоубийства; «She», основанная на стивенкинговской «Кристине». Так что, в вашем плеере альбом, скорее всего, определенное время поживет. Приготовьтесь к двухэтажным солякам Манни (т.е. техничнее и навороченнее обычного, но в допустимых пределах), пронзительному фальцету Пиви, добротной работе Кристоса (все-таки, стучал он очень и очень неплохо). Хороший альбом, затерявшийся в дискографии группы среди нескольких подлинных шедевров.
PS. Обидно за лицо диска. Йоахим Лютке сотворил отличное оформление в футуристическом стиле, полностью соответствующем альбому, а лейбл взял и поставил на обложку фото музыкантов. |

Альбом продолжают линию, взятую группой на "Perfect Man". После красивого Интро идёт ударнейший боевик "Time Waits For Noone", который задаёт настроение всему альбому, далее идут также скоростные вещи - "Make My Day", "The Inner Search" и "Invisible Horizons", которые не дадут слушателю расслабиться, следом идут 2 бриллианта этого альбома - среденетемповые "She" и "Light Into The Darkness", очень красивые и драйвовые вещи. Отдельно стоит упомянуть "Without A Trace". Rage всегда умели писать 10-минутные эпики, но этот, наверное, лучший у них. Вещь состоит из трёх разных частей, связанных одним припевом, в общем, это надо слышать. Если бы не "Lost Side Of The World", оценка была бы выше. |

Четвёртый альбом Rage. После записи прошлого диска (“Perfect Man” 1988) группа опять поехала в турне, на сей раз по Европе. Похоже, у группы становится традицией отправляться в турне после выхода каждого нового альбома. Успешно отыграв множество концертов, группа опять поселяется в студии, записывая новый альбом... Итак, на этом альбоме мы имеем скоростной хэви-трэш. Ибо влияние последнего, а в частности Металлики, чувствуется во многих песнях (“Make My Day”, “Distant Voices”). Почти все композиции, как на подбор, по-своему интересны и мощны. Проходной вещью я считаю лишь открывашку “Time Waits For No One” с убогим риффом в начале. Все остальные песни цельные и энергичные. Самая лучшая песня на альбоме – без сомнения, “Light Into The Darkness”, чья соло-партия очень похожа на соло-партию группы In Flames в их песне “World Of Promises” (может, даже шведы содрали это соло, кто знает). Также надо отметить веселую “Talk To Grandpa” с текстом о спиритическом сеансе, на котором какой-то парень хочет поговорить со своим умершим дедушкой... Кстати, название альбома оказалось востребованным лишь в 2003 году, когда Rage записали песню с таким же названием для альбома “Soundchaser”.
Вывод: очень качественный альбом. Видно, что музыканты растут в композиторском плане, что не может не радовать.

You can't fix it if you try
Time waits for noone
You can join it for a little while
Once put into your brain
all the things of life got a special frame
but you forget that this world's go a different
face each day
Time waits for noone
You can't fix it if you try
Time waits for noone
You can join it for a little while
You can join it till you die
"What's this jungle noise?
Long haired filthy boys?
Sex before marriage?
You don't believe in the pope?!
Time waits for noone
3. Make My Day
[Music by: P. Wagner]
[Lyrics by: P. Wagner]
This is for you, you know who you are,
better believe what I tell you now.
For all the others, 'cause everybody's
got someone in his life that he hates, I know.
I'm used to be calm and not too beasty
but this is more than I can endure.
You dealt with me really mean and nasty
I don't wanna be patient with you no more
Make my day!
This is the sign of my deadly hammer
leaving its marks on your face right now.
You won't hear my warning, now you're bound to make my day
C'mon you sucker, make my day
Make my day!
I'd like to smash all your toys to pieces
tickle your feet until you drop dead
I'd tie you tight to a stake and stain you
with honey, then let the ants run free
Make my day!
This is the sign of my deadly hammer
leaving its marks on your face right now.
You won't hear my warning, now you're bound to make my day
C'mon you sucker, make my day
Make my day!
Don't open up what you call your head, now
I don't want no answer, I'm through with you.
Save your excuse, I don't want to hear it
it's just a lie, anyway, I know!
Make my day!
This is the sign of my deadly hammer
leaving its marks on your face right now.
You won't hear my warning, now you're bound to make my day
C'mon you sucker, make my day
C'mon you sucker, make my day
C'mon you sucker make my day
Make my day!
4. The Inner Search
[Music by: P. Wagner]
[Lyrics by: P. Wagner]
You've got a right to take what life offers you
don't let others mark out your scope
You better break out from all what chained you up
there is more to be than they said
The inner search needs more than words
Just hear the call for the inner search
You can hear a lot, but to understand
let the confusing voices die first
blow the flickering light out that's in your head
see the one that's always been there
The inner search needs more than words
Just hear the call for the inner search
That you are is yours, belongs just to you
to noone else, to no man, to no god
Keep your own truth in yourself as the only light
and be your own hope and a fear cannot get ya, get ya...
No point in revealing your fate for what you hate
be true to yourself, it's your responsibility
No point in believing that gods can help you out
it's your inner voice leading you to the right choice
Get up for a sense, take your life in your own hands
hear your inner voice leading you to the right choice
That you are is yours, belongs just to you
to noone else, to no man, to no god
Keep your own truth in yourself as the only light
and be your own hope and a fear cannot get ya, get ya...
The inner search needs more than words
Just hear the call for the inner search
5. Invisible Horizons
[Music by: P. Wagner]
[Lyrics by: P. Wagner]
Flying high, setting signs
we got the future in our veins
but still a long way to go
All we know has lost its size
if you're looking down from space.
Your problems are unreal at one blow
Does it make a sense at last
to learn the mistakes of the past?
Infected with an old disease
And today tomorrow waits
in another galaxy.
Waiting to take us away
We are the only truth?
How can we be so smug
like a child playing God...
I wish I knew
is it still far to go - -Invisible horizons
What is behind
the picture in my mind - Invisible horizons
It is many ages away
a life that's far beyond our rays
that we send out to get a sign
A million places there to be
it's only logical, you see
that we're not the centre of creation
We are the only truth?
How can we be so smug
like a child playing God...
I wish I knew
is it still far to go - -Invisible horizons
What is behind
the picture in my mind - Invisible horizons
6. She
[Music by: P. Wagner, M. Schmidt]
[Lyrics by: P. Wagner]
Hey, I know someone who's got a real special love.
She is made of sheet metal, her name's Christine.
She takes sweet revenge
hunt them till the end
She's a lady in red varnish and shining chrome
She's alive and she's more jealous than girls in flesh and blood
All the other guys don't like him, so one night
they are smashing Christine, but she gets up again.
She takes sweet revenge
hunt them till the end
She's a lady in red varnish and shining chrome
She's alive and she's more jealous than girls
in flesh and blood
There she's waiting behind the corner,
fixing them with her blinding lights.
They won't escape out of this misty night alive
and she won't come to harm...
She is keeping him from all his friends away.
He is getting more paranoid each day.
She takes sweet revenge hunt them till the end
She's a lady in red varnish and shining chrome
He's a wreck and he's more jealous than boys in flesh and blood
He takes sweet revenge
hunt them till the end.
7. Light Into The Darkness
[Music by: P. Wagner]
[Lyrics by: P. Wagner]
Shadows in my mind, it's dead, all I had inside
bunched is the old fear, just to let a new one appear
just be quiet, my heart, and keep the peace in the dark
blossom's better than decay, there must be more for me, I can't wait
Oh, when will you leave, eternal night, you lead to the nevermore
end up this chain existence, now, the best is yet to come for me
There's light into the darkness
so come and lay down by my side
there's light into the darkness
come on and rest your mind in my arms
let me enlight your darkness
there's nothing better than a friend
give light into my darkness...
I've heard a distant voice, it said aloud the word I'm waiting for
Just keep quiet in peace, beware your heart in the dark, the word is here
Can you see the colours in the new born leaves on every tree
rescue can be found in each thing, if one just gets into it
There's light into the darkness
so come and lay down by my side
there's light into the darkness
come on and rest your mind in my arms
let me enlight your darkness
there's nothing better than a friend
give light into my darkness...
free of pain, free from doubts, free of fear
Can you see the colours in the new born leaves on every tree
rescue can be found in each thing, if one just gets into it
There's light into the darkness
so come and lay down by my side
there's light into the darkness
so let me lay down by your side
there's light into the darkness...
if I just get into it
8. Talk To Grandpa
[Music by: P. Wagner]
[Lyrics by: P. Wagner]
I know Sally, let me tell ya, what 'bout her
she's a medium, she can catch the vibes in the air
she's so sensitive with supernatural powers
I have seen her talkin' to the Dead in trance
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
Since I know 'bout it there's one thing that I want
she should ask my grandpa, if he's there beyond
ask what happend with the money that he save
'Cause noone found it in his house when he had died.
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
Ask my grandpa if he's got a dime for me!
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
...Talk to Grandpa
9. Distant Voices
[Music by: P. Wagner, M. Schmidt]
[Lyrics by: P. Wagner]
Sometimes when I'm by myself, before I fall asleep
the darkness becomes liquid and I'm drowning in the deep
Sinking like a stone, coming through different mental spheres
I see so many people reaching out when I get near.
I can see despair in their eyes and I hear them call,
they want me to rescue them, want me to free them all
Distant voices, I hear them calling me,
calling for me
Distant voices, I hear them calling me,
calling for me
They all lost their time
did not see their aim
died without a sense
they're still unredeemed
Distant voices, I hear them calling me,
calling for me
Distant voices, I hear them calling me,
calling for me
I've seen them everywhere in this world, legions of no hope.
They always close their eyes and they forget all what they know.
Perception comes to them when they are in the throes of death,
but it is too late to turn around...
If they'd seen it all before they wouldn't suffer this way now
'Cause it's easy dying after one has lived a fulfilled life
but perception comes to them when they are in the throes of death
and then it's too late to change it all...
Distant voices, I hear them calling me,
calling for me
Distant voices, I hear them calling me,
calling for me
Distant voices...
10. Without A Trace
[Music by: P. Wagner]
[Lyrics by: P. Wagner]
[a. The devil's triangle]
Tell the press that we can't say more,
there's nothing that we know 'bout for sure.
What has happend to our machines?
We found no wrecks and nothing was seen.
Fourteen men are lost anywhere,
there's nothing we can do for them there.
Those guys we have sent out for the search,
they're missing too, it seems as if we're cursed.
Mayday, mayday!
Without a trace flight 19 got lost in the sky
Mayday, mayday!
Without a trace flight 19 got lost in the sky
Many ships and planes we miss
in this part of the Atlantic.
IN the Bermuda triangle
magnetic fields are disturbed sometimes.
Maybe that's a reason, but
who knows what really happened there?
Is the flying dutchman real,
are they transferred from space and time in another sphere?
Mayday, mayday!
Without a trace flight 19 got lost in the sky
Mayday, mayday!
Without a trace flight 19 got lost in the sky
[b. Atlantis]
Drowned in the sea, some thousand years ago
we searched for ages for the place
but noone yet has found a way through the haze, no
Myths and legends wind 'round treasure there to find
a whole civilization died
and all they knew, it sunk with them in their grave
The scientists found out some theories about
an earthquake dragged it all away,
maybe this was meant in tales 'bout the flood...
The earth has changed its face and took our fruits away
We know, the people there were wise
was mankind's cradle lost before our time?
Mayday, mayday!
Mayday, mayday!
Without a trace Atlantis drowned into the sea
Without a trace Atlantis drowned into the sea
[c. Uninvited Visitors]
I've seen, I have seen them, I know what I tell you
last night when I drove home they were there, this is true
They hung in the air above the motorway
then they came down to me
a phosphorising light piercing me and the
time, it stood still on the motorway
then they came down to me
a phosphorising light piercing me and the time, it stood still
I've heard from a neighbour, he saw them at home.
They stood before his window watching him, so
maybe they first want to study our life,
yeah, they study our life.
Before they get in contact with us they must know who we are.
Do you know 'bout the U.F.O.'s
maybe there's more life than we know
what comes now? I am eager to know,
will they come back and clear our doubts?
Without a trace they came and left us in a mess
Without a trace they came and left us in a mess
11. Lost Side Of The World
[Music by: P. Wagner]
[Lyrics by: P. Wagner]
You're talkin' 'bout your profits
the one percent to grow
to show the world we're "someone"
as if they do not know
And all that you have gathered what does it mean for you?
A shit, 'cause you destroy it
your policy's not true
for the lost side of the world
Especially the countries that've got only sand and stones
they got the most to feed
but that's not possible at all
on the lost side of the world
When night is gone
a thousand of the poor have died.
Goodbye to the world.
We cannot help them all,
but must we have a pope who damns the pill
for the lost side of the world
We're much too many people
it's becoming more each day
We got to change our habits
Cause the world's collapse won't wait
When night is gone
a thousand of the poor had died.
Goodbye...
12. Law And Order
[Bonus track]
Watch out, they're on the loose
They creep into your privacy, lurk in all corners for you
Justice - that's what they scream
But can they find verdicts on me while they're corrupt like...
Shit, I don't know who or what
They say that they're friends and they fight for your rights
They say that they're helpers
But they only teach you to stand real tight
Out there in the streets: Law and order
In out battlefields: Law and order
No way, you can't escape
You can't make mistakes or have fun or just do what you feel
They'll keep you locked in, you might be a troublemaker
Keep him safe
You bastard, you'd better be dead or something like this...
Now he's safe
13. Mirror
[Bonus track]
Hey you, take a look at me now
Have you ever seen the face of death
Have you noticed me somehow
Not more than rotton flesh and bones...
But there's more than molecules
That make you different from a stone
Mirror, mirror, mirror
Friendly smiles decay
Mirror, mirror, mirror
It's your final day
Hey you, your spirit is more
It turns you into a scientist, an inventor to explore
But look into the mirror of life
You made so many mistakes
Now you get back what you gave
Mirror, mirror, mirror
Friendly smiles decay
Mirror, mirror, mirror
It's your final day
Your face is cold tonight
Your glance is far out of sign
You lay your body for the final rest
Do you think it was good what you've done in the past
You've had your years on earth
Now go back to what you've been...
