A good reviewer should be objective and not get too carried away by emotion, they should describe an album track by track, encourage the reader to listen to the CD. Well, in this case, forgive me, but I will make an exception to the rule because I just can't manage to review an album of this caliber in that way.
Year: 2000, Location: Greensburg, Pennsylvania, USA. Here, emocore reaches its highest peak ever achieved, even in the years to come, by an emo band. Imagine having no thoughts in your head, completely losing touch with reality, letting yourself go, and only then will you be able to fully appreciate the greatness of this album, where a voice, Brett Detar's voice, will get inside you, perfectly fitting punchy tracks like "To The Tune Of 5,000 Screaming Children", or tracks completely different, like "Something Isn't Right Here" and "We're At The Top Of The World". Of course, there are also those unforgettable tracks like "Into The Dark", the first track of the album, and "Is Patience Still Waiting?".
The instrumental "Emotion Is Dead pt.1" is also very beautiful. In my opinion, however, the most beautiful song on the album and one of the most beautiful in the emocore domain, is "You Always Say Goodnight, Goodnight", a heart-wrenching nine-minute ballad, an unforgettable track that will never tire you, even after repeated listens. Not to mention the lyrics, we are in the emo realm, so it stands to reason that the lyrics are oriented towards unrequited loves, broken hearts, and much more....
It is a beautiful album, made with heart and mind, with passion and determination.. it’s difficult to review such an album, it's an infinite concentrate of emotions, indescribable in words. The only thing I hope is that someone here has heard it and can give me their opinion on it... the only advice I can give you is to get the CD, and after the first listen, you will already have fallen in love with it!
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Into the Dark (01:38)
Dad, your boy is about to fall
He walks the razor's edge
He's on the brink of fading out
He's at his bitter end
Dad, your boy who used to run
You taught him how to crawl...
He left home to find his own (He left home to find his own)
Now all he had is gone
In your eyes, I see a darkness that torments you
And in your head where it dwells
I'd give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it
Let's walk away from this hell (Hell...)
In your eyes, I see a darkness that torments you
And in your head where it dwells
I'd give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it
Let's walk away from this hell (Hell...)
Mom, your baby is on his way
He'll soon be at your side
Cause he's forgotten all he's known
A part of him has died (Died)
Mom may never understand
Why baby's come and gone
He left home to find his own (He left home to find his own)
Now all he has are lies
In your eyes, I see a darkness that torments you
And in your head where it dwells
I'd give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it
Let's walk away from this hell (Hell...)
In your eyes, I see a darkness that torments you
And in your head where it dwells
I'd give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it
Let's walk away from this hell (Hell...)
In your eyes...
In your eyes...
In your eyes...
In your eyes...
In your eyes, I see a darkness that torments you
And in your head where it dwells
I'd give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it
Let's walk away from this hell (Hell...)
In your eyes, I see a darkness that torments you
And in your head where it dwells
I'd give you my hand if you'd reach out and grab it
Let's walk away from this hell... (Hell...)
03 To the Tune of 5,000 Screaming Children (03:54)
(What you want is what you get)
We knew you'd hate this before we wrote it.
So listen up, we're telling you before you tell us.
We're not misinformed or misdirected,
functioning on your subjective.
Your hatred only fuels us on.
Now how about a word or two on you?
You're an alias, an email address.
We lay a lot more out than you do.
You Do!!! You Do!!!(3x)
We won't be part of your revolution.
So listen up, we're telling you this is a business.
We're not misinformed or misdirected.
We'll make our own insurrection.
So keep on publishing our wrongs.
Now how about a word or two on you?
You're a paper fist, a faceless attack.
We're not about to break like you do.
You Do!!!(4x)
Come on!!!!!!!!!!
We're not misinformed or misdirected.
Your hatred only fuels us on.
05 Is Patience Still Waiting? (03:53)
Will there ever be time enough?
Or are we just too naive?
I haven't just given up.
Oh God, I still believe.
Is patience still waiting?
Will I wait on my knees too?
Are you laughing at us today?
And is this just one big game?
Now cash me in while you can
We never were the same.
Is patience still waiting?
Will I wait on my knees too?
Come on
Will you ever have all you want?
And are we just next in line?
Don't throw out your one good chance
You only have this time.
10 Understand the Dream Is Over (02:58)
Here is my new disposition.
You're about to understand.
Our theory is only obvious
to the skeptical,
and at the bitter end.
You're staring at a white page
and the print is plain to see.
Now turn the page and read what's written.
It's your history.
Do you understand?
Chorus:
The dream is over.
You haven't slept in years.
Don't be looking for answers.
You're better following trails.
The dream is over.
You haven't slept in years.
Don't be looking for answers.
You're better following trails.
You're staring at a black screen.
Your body starts to tense.
When two plus two
is five or less
it's time to question common sense.
Silence is a secret,
a weapon in disguise.
Listen to the silence. Open up your eyes.
Do you understand?
Chorus
Bridge:
Do you decide what
you hear and believe?
Tell me who makes
your mind up for you.
Do you believe what
you see to be true?
Can you tell me who
owns the truth?
Who bought the truth?
What is your disposition?
Here is my new disposition.
You're about to understand.
Our theory is only obvious to the skeptical
and at the bitter end.
