This is one of the worst metal works I have ever heard. The last album by Lacuna Coil already featured more immediate and commercial sounds, but I never thought they could fall so low. And surely that "good" producer Don Gilmore would have contributed to this musical shift.

The band had presented the record almost as if it were the masterpiece of the decade: a mix of different genres, experimentation, openness to rock and electronics. The truth? The album consists of very simple songs that are more like teen pop metal than open to rock, and the electronic experimentations are a hodgepodge of unpleasant sounds thrown here and there in some songs. And as if that weren't enough, Cristina Scabbia's voice is put in the background for almost the entire duration of the album...

There's very little to salvage... The ballad "Wide Awake" where Cristina sings alone is, in my opinion, the best song on the album, but the rest is trash... What a pity.

I hope it's not the end of this group from an artistic point of view, otherwise we would lose one of the representative bands of metal Made in Italy. The first thing I advise Lacuna Coil to do is to get rid of Don Gilmore

You are going down
You are going down
You are going down

Down at the bottom I have found
I cannot wait to get back in the fight
And send you straight to the ground
Hide and seeking when I'm on the ropes
You wanna knock me down, knock me out
Your cheaps shots are denied

You're going down now
You can't kill my soul, kill my dream
Kill my soul, kill my dream
You can't kill my soul, kill my dream
Back down

You are going down
You are going down
You are going down

Now, you will understand me now
You don't want to come back to the fight
I've been the underdog all my life
I can feel it, I will not stop
Until I see you down on the ground
'Cause I am still alive

You're going down now
You can't kill my soul, kill my dream
Kill my soul, kill my dream
You can't kill my soul, kill my dream
Back down
You can't kill my soul, kill my dream
Kill my soul, kill my dream
You can't kill my soul, kill my dream

You are going down
You are going down
You are going down
You are going down

You can't kill my soul, kill my dream
You are going down
You can't kill my soul, kill my dream
You are going down
You can't kill my soul, kill my dream
You are going down
You can't kill my soul, kill my dream
You are going down

You are going down
You are going down
You are going down
You are going down



Stai cadendo giù
Stai cadendo giù
Stai cadendo giù

Giù
In fondo ho trovato
Non vedo l'ora di tornare nella battaglia
E spedirti dritto a terra
A nasconderti ed a cercare
Quando sono disperato
Mi vuoi abbattere, eliminare - I tuoi colpi bassi sono vietati

Ora stai cadendo in basso - Non puoi uccidere la mia anima ed uccidere il mio sogno
Di nuovo in basso
Adesso - Adesso mi capirai

Tu non vuoi tornare alla battaglia
Ho dovuto perdere per tutta la mia vita
Posso sentirlo
Non mi fermerò fin quando non ti vedrò a terra
A terra - Perchè sono ancora vivo

Ora stai cadendo in basso - Non puoi uccidere la mia anima ed uccidere il mio sogno
Di nuovo in basso
Adesso - Adesso mi capirai


Stai cadendo giù
Stai cadendo giù
Stai cadendo giù
