| 1. Destroy All
You got something to say
Better off stay away
My head's a loaded gun
Waiting to go off
You keep your eyes on yourself
You slit you throat with your guilt
My hands are ringing necks
In my waking thoughts
Destroy, destroy all
2. Control It
Everybody, soul and body |

Вот это да! Прогресс группы налицо: в третьем по счёту альбоме исправлены все недочёты предыдущих работ, и самый главный из них - некоторая однообразность (эту картину мы наблюдали на "Machine"). На "Shadow Zone" все композиции - ну просто хиты! Рецепт их таков: разбавляем всю напористость и мощь синтетической мелодикой, достигаемой за счёт программируемых синтезаторов, плюс даём слушателю насладиться гитарными риффами в полной мере. Не подумайте ничего плохого, Static-X не стали плаксиво-сопливыми мягкотелыми созданиями, не съехали на рэпкор, столь популярный в последнее время. Всё остальное - и тяжесть, и грозность, и холодность звучания, у Static-X осталось на месте. Чего только стоит песня "The Only", вызывающая ассоциации с холодным свежим ветром в тёмное время суток ;-)) Нет, правда, такие композиции как "New Pain", "All in Wait" цепляют за душу то ли этими синтезаторами, то ли мастерской игрой всех музыкатов, о которой так лестно отзывается зарубежная пресса. На пластинке присутствует одна инструменталка - "Transmission", и одна слегка лиричная вещица "So" (парням из Linkin Park'a на зависть). В целом, это уже не ню-метал, а нечто близкое к мелодик-техно-трешу, что ли. Свежо, красиво, мощно. Ребята заслужили высший балл. |

Третий альбом. Полностью согласен с Sepsis’ом в том, что данный диск достоин только высшего балла. Конечно, я не видел ничего плохого и в предыдущих двух альбомах группы (“Wisconsin Death Trip” 1999 и “Machine” 2001), но это действительно бомба, разрывающая всё к чёртовой матери! Ровным счётом никаких минусов, абсолютно всё выполнено на самом высоком уровне. И играют парни блестяще, и песни здесь по-настоящему хитовы (во всех смыслах этого слова), и звук нарулили такой, что хочется слушать этот диск ещё и ещё! Особого внимания заслуживает обложка диска – светящийся зеленоватый шар как бы погружает слушателя в Зону теней Static-X... Пару слов об изменениях в составе – после выхода прошлого альбома (“Machine” 2001) из группы ушли ударник Кен Джей и гитарист Коичи Фукуда, но последний всё-таки вернулся в группу через четыре года (после выхода альбома “Start A War” 2005). Место гитариста занял Трипп Эйсен, а за ударную установку сел Джош Фриз (к сожалению, только как сессионный музыкант). Но, несмотря на эту неразбериху, здесь нет ни одной проходной или хотя бы слабой песни. Любую песню можно называть бессмертным хитом, но мне больше всего нравятся энергичный трек “Control It” с классным припевом, сверхскоростной “Monster” (явно одна из лучших песен группы), заглавный “Shadow Zone”, мелодичный “Dead World”, драйвовый “Otsegolectric”, а также среднетемповый “The Only” (из игры “Need For Speed: Underground”) и баллада “So”. На последние две, кстати, сняты очень стильные и нескучные клипы, всем советую! Пожалуй, я назову этот альбом своим любимым у Static-X, ибо это действительно стоящая и максимально грамотно сделанная работа! Удачного прослушивания! |

All this sickness, you lost control
You can't get it
You just don't get it, no
You can't get it
You got zero
Look within me, am I evil enough
Memories bring tears of years old
You can't get it
You just don't get it, no
You can't get it
You got zero
Life - you take it
Lies - you fake it
Suffer - within me
Torn - you break it
Life - control it
Lies - withhold it
Suffer - you're skinny
Torn - you're wasted
Kids with defects
We're all rejects, so
Don't forget it, cold inside
You can't get it
You just don't get it, no
You can't get it
You got zero
Break this take control
Take this I control it
Break this take control
Take this I control it
3. New Pain
Misdirected, I'm awakened
Minifests in, into my head
I feel new pain, becoming part
Of my every, every moment now
New Pain - you told me you wanted and hated me
New Pain - you kill me now this becomes part
I'm so sure I'm, so confused I'm
All things to you, nothing to you
I feel new pain, in these shadows
Of my every, every moment now
New Pain - you told me you wanted and hated me
New Pain - you kill me now this becomes part
New Pain - you told me you wanted and hated me
New Pain - you kill me now this becomes part
You told me that you wanted me
You told me you hate me
Tear for our suffering
Told me that I'm the one
You wanted to kill me
And now it makes this all ugly
Becomes part of me
Turning into this new pain
Your horse I ride, bite down hard
And now I suffer
My heart to my mind it burns
Rips it hurt, it kills
4. Shadow Zone
I get we gotta run
Make me take it
Take out the big one
I can't forget I cannot
See infect me
Enter the shadow zone
I like it, slice it
This is your own world
Naked, resurfacing
Shadow Zone
I come to realize
That I'm home now
But you can't see inside me
Shadow Zone
If I can't forget just
Leave me alone now
It's time to go out, shut down
I'm sick of this mutation
All of this masturbation
It becomes my salvation
Taking it, taking it
I'm dead inside, my head my mind
Right way wrong way, this cage is my rage
My cord ripped out, cry out for help
Call this my own
5. Dead World
Look down around
All is not well
Victim of change
Far out of range
A is non-A
Be or be not
See what I see
Get what I got
Sometimes I wish I could see beyond this dead world
Sometimes I wish I could see beyond me
Dead world
King of my world
This rule I break
Kinf of my world
I eat my cake
A is non-A
Be or be not
See what I see
Get what I got
Sometimes I wish I could see beyond this dead world
Sometimes I wish I could see beyond me
Dead world
Softly, angry, bitter, killer
Torn flish, more less, ears curled
Dead World
6. Monster
Breathing, killing, seething, willing
Fighting, biting, hating, waiting for you
Don't you, won't you, don't lie
Give it, get it, live it, let it
Dedicated, nothing sacred for you
Don't you, won't you, I die
Wreak havoc, I'm crippled
Your polluted soul, is so corrupted
In your eyes, see all the lies
The alibis, That I despise
In your eyes, see all the lies
The alibis, That I despise
In your eyes, all the lies
Alibis, I despise
See the lies, spirit dies
Your disguise, Monster size
Breathing, killing, seething, willing
Fighting, biting, hating, waiting for you
I don't know why I try
Give it, get it, live it, let it
Dedicated, nothing sacred for you
I can't see you I'm blind
Wreak havoc, I'm crippled
Your polluted soul, is so corrupted
In your eyes, see all the lies
The alibis, That I despise
In your eyes, see all the lies
The alibis, That I despise
In your eyes, all the lies
Alibis, I despise
See the lies, spirit dies
Your disguise, Monster size
Wreak havoc, I'm crippled
Erasing, Refacing
So worthless, no mercy
Your polluted soul, is so corrupted
7. The Only
I'm winning, you're losing
I'm falling, your agony
Lowen than lower, before
Your forgotton memory
My heaven, your hell
I'm killing, your fantasy
More and more, you follow
Your divorced reality
You're trying to take me
You're trying to make me
This is the only
Give me the only thing
I'm tired of trying
I'm tired of lying
The only thing I undertand is what I feel
Identity, fantasy
Heresy, killing me
Lower than lower, before
This thing to feed
Hypocrite, lunatic
Fanatic, heretic
More and more, you follow
Your divorced reality
You're trying to take me
You're trying to make me
This is the only
Give me the only thing
I'm tired of trying
I'm tired of lying
The only thing I undertand is what I feel
Hypocrite, lunatice, fanatic, heretic
8. Kill Your Idols
Cosmetic photogenic
This pain is fleeting, ring out
Mechanical the passion
Your head is bleeding, slow down
Can't keep doing this
What you want me to
Marching sheep herd said
See my broken head
Live your own life
I got myself
Out of my sight
Kill your idols
It's ugly, you see
I don't care what you think now
Forgive me, forget
Don't take the east way out
Can't keep doing this
What you want me to
Marching sheep herd said
See my broken head
Live your own life
I got myself
Out of my sight
Kill your idols
9. All In Wait
Drowning myself, over and over
Desolate, trying it's over
Why so cynical in life
You think you're living to die
All in wait, all in wait
Burning inside, long for answers
Makes no sense, trying it's over
Why so cynical in life
You think you're living to die
All in wait
Step down and smile at this fool
The believes his own word
All in wait
Now I'm drowning myself over and over
Makes no sense we're trying but you say it's over
Burning inside as we long for the answers
Desolate we're trying but you say it's over
10. Ostegolectric
You sold yourself
You sold yourself
You sold your soul
You make your hell
Cross this line, you waste away
Steal and cheat, all day
Otsegolectric
What is mine, I'm electric
Face staring, back at me
Cross this line, you are sick
You are sick, I know it
Otsegolectric
Screaming, scratching
Pounding
Giving, getting
Through me
Crawling, balling
Falling
Giving into
Sinning
Take all day, suck all day
Worm away, turn away
You are sick, I know it
You are sick, you are sick
11. So
So I've betrayed self
So I've betrayed you
So what now?
So what do we do?
Pushing you away
Away from me
So I'm, I'm confused
So you're not amused
So I'm feeling used
So what do we do?
Pushing you away
Away from me
Empty inside
I'm dying, I'm crying
She makes me bad
Betrays my head
Empty inside
I'm dying, I'm crying
She makes me bad
12. Transmission
[Instrumental]
13. Invincible
This moment in time
This moment defined
How is it I feel nothing?
Just don't say goodbye
You say to me
I'm trying to do the right thing
This moment in time
This moment defined
How is it I feel nothing?
It's alright
And we sneak a call
And we're like thieves
I love the times like these
Just don't say goodbye
Just won't you please
I'm trying to do the right thing
It's alright
All my life I was in the cold
Now I find I feel nothing more
Leave me to learn
Leave me to hurt
Now I'm not so invincible
It's just come to this you know
