| 1. Man & Machine
When I'm driving down the road
I want to feel the speed
I push my machine to the max,
This is what I need
My fingers gripping, grip so tight,
My foot is to the floor
My blood is racing through my veins,
This is my reward
Test my fate by living on the edge (on the edge)

Не совсем понял «наезд» в предыдущем отзыве, но на вкус и цвет, как говориться...
На современной металической сцене царит тишь да гладь: альбомы выходят, музыканты ходют друг другу поиграть и прочее. “Безмолвная сила” - вполне себе типовой продукт нашего времени в жанре: поливалово от Мальмстина, пауэр-начинка от Helloween, Stratovarius, Edguy + прог от экс-«Охотника» ДС Купера, ну и хардовые ходы а-ля Rainbow и т.п.
Местами немного ярости добавляет Primal Fear-овское прошлое Алекса Бейродта. Ничего оригинального вы тут не услышите. А можно ли чего-то ну просто неведомое доселе сыграть в жанре, в котором к концу 80-х было сыграно 90%? Вот и я так думаю...
Все-таки у Купера отличный голос, а Бейродт отменный гитарист (которому сниться, что он если уж не Мальмстин, то уж точно Импеллитери). Остальные участники – поверьте, тоже умеют играть. Титульный боевик «Walk the Earth» - определенно хит. «Goodbye My Ghost» и «The Child Within» ничуть не хуже. Масса приятностей: то акустика отлично сыграет, то клавишные...
В общем - крепкий, толковый релиз, не претендующий на сокровенные места в ваших сердцах, но способный вполне помочь приятно скоротать время до релиза какой-либо любимой команды в жанре. |

"Walk The Earth" - первый прослушанный мной альбом Silent Force, и, должен сказать, я сильно разочарован, так что слушать остальные опусы этой группы у меня отпало всякое желание. Про группу я узнал давно, но познакомиться с их работами до сих пор не доводилось. Известна эта команда прежде всего тем, что в ней играет гитарист Alex Beyrodt (Sinner, Primal Fear) и поёт DC Cooper (ex-Royal Hunt). К плюсам можно отнести неплохую обложку диска, качественную запись и техничность музыкантов. Дальше идут сплошные минусы. Продолжительность диска приличная, а разнообразия никакого, все песни мало того, что похожи друг на друга, так ещё и скучные. Голос Cooper'а довольно приятен, но с настроением песен он совершенно не гармонирует. А Beyrodt почти каждые две минуты пытается доказать, что он гитарист-виртуоз, включая в песни совершенно не в тему сложные гитарные запилы. Ну и окончательно убил меня бонус-видео-трек. Ладно бы, что музыканты записали не собственную песню, а кавер-версию всем известной "You've Got Another Thing Comin", но они настолько отвратительно исполнили эту песню... Правда, отдать им должное, на сцене они держатся уверенно, и энергия так и хлещет. Вот к этой бы энергии и задору композиторский талант, тогда, пожалуй, что-нибудь и вышло. А пока только 3. |

And if I die I die just like so many others
[Chorus]
Man and machine -
I can't hide my need for speed, I'm the man
Man and machine -
And I'll try fast as can be
My heart is beating with such might
I feel it might explode
Throwing caution to the wind
It flattens down the road
The sirens screaming, scream so loud,
I laugh and sing along
The engine makes a noise so sweet,
As sweet as any sound
I feel my hair is standing on its edge (on its edge)
I lose control just around the bend
[Chorus]
Tires squealing, ripping metal,
It's over in seconds,
It was so orchestral
My body now is beaten and battered,
As fast as it could be
Was all that had mattered
[Solo]
Man and machine -
I can't hide my need for speed, I'm the man
Man and machine -
If I die don't cry for me, I'm the man
Man and machine -
Oh, we're as one, man and machine
Man and machine...
2. Walk The Earth
If somehow I find the words
Saying what I feel inside right now
It's quiet, no sound
My voice seems to become silent somehow
If we're alone and then you ask me
Am I honest with myself I'll tell you "no"
Do you believe in ever after?
I struggle with the answers I can't show
If I look into the mirror I have to turn away
I fool the disconnected
I'm the man I cannot face
I've lived amongst expansion
Under no uncertain terms
It's finally catching me somehow
Oh will I ever learn
And now it seems my days are numbered
My fate is closing in on me I know
Do you think that I am shallow?
Will I kneel before the beast that lies below
[Chorus]
I walk the earth,
Image of my world
Come feel the noise,
It's through a voice unheard
I walk the earth
I've fallen far from grace
Come feel the noise,
My shell's an empty space
I walk the earth
Oh, hanging on the balance,
It's the path that I have led
Keeps them all believing
This is know that I have said
Uncertain is the outcome,
It appears it's not all lost
This is what I've chosen
Most of the time it plays out wrong
If we're alone that's when I'll ask you
Are you honest with yourself you'll tell me "no"
And you believe in ever after
I know the answer now just say it's so
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]
I walk the earth...
3. Point Of No Return
4. In From The Dark
5. The King Of Fools
It happens to the best,
This he cannot change
But most of all was
His intentions weren't that strange
He says he's only human, no one ever knows
It's what he means to say
At night before he starts the show
He can't change his past, no one ever can
Tomorrow no one knows his name
He thinks he is the man
[Chorus:]
He's the king of fools
The master of one
As he stands there all alone
He's the king of fools
The master of one
He's not a man of virtue,
He's not a man at all
He sets a bad example
Does he think he's right?
Trying to escape his past
He isn't worth the fight
The devil made him do it!
This is what he says
Always doing stupid things
Is how he makes his way
He can't change his past, no one ever can
Tomorrow no one knows his name
He thinks he is the man
[Chorus]
He can't wait, he's in a fog
His mind is almost gone, is he afraid?
Oh, does he know just what it is that's wrong
[Chorus]
6. The Child Within
7. Goodbye My Ghost
8. Save Me From Myself
9. My Independence Day
10. Blind Leading The Blind
11. Running Through The Fire
I find that all it takes,
A strike to start the fire,
I find that all it takes is just a strike to start the fire
I stand there mesmerized,
Right before his eyes
I stand there mesmerized by all the beauty and the death,
Beauty and the death
[Chorus:]
We are running through the fire
As it's lighting up the sky
We are running through the fire
Please don't ask me why
If I died within,
Within your arms
If I died within your arms
I don't think I would care
Oh, will I wait until,
Until the ash on earth
Will I wait until the ash on earth
Will crush my stare, my stare...
[Chorus]
Side by side we fight till the end
An alliance we have to defend
Side by side we fight till the end
An alliance we have to defend
[Chorus]
