Davvero davvero niente male.
Questo primo attesissimo debutto solista dell'ex Frankestein Drag Queens e attuale voce dei Murderdolls Wednesday 13 è un mix letale di punk, metal e glam fusi in uno scenario horror e ironico, dell'ottimo Horror-core ammazzavampiri composto da riff semplici ma molto diretti.
Un album molto orecchiabile che risulta nel complesso piacevole, con una buona sezione ritmica accompagnata dall'ottima raucedine di Wednesday. I richiami ai portavoce del genere ci sono tutti, uno su tutti Rob Zombie, del quale si nota la scuola, poi Alice Cooper, Misfits ed infine una vena Mansoniana. Insomma uno scenario-teatro al quale ci aveva abituato da tempo Wedenesday, rifacendosi all'horror old-school più truce e cupo ma che in fondo, non si prende mai del tutto sul serio.
Forse non siamo al cospetto di un disco perfetto ma propone comunqe del buon rock'n'roll fatto come si deve, che, in fondo, non è semre facile da trovare.

02 Look What the Bats Dragged In (02:32)
I'm dying from my own disease
I'm a villian, I'm a murderer and the victim is me
I've got a date with fate and I just can't wait
I'll see you all down at the morgue
I need some coffee, a corpse, and a cigarette
Just in case that I get bored
Red, white and bruised and bathed in sin
I've been through hell and back again
Bury me now and say it's the end
Oh my god, look at what the bats dragged in
I'm pissing into the wind
I got a face full of it, lick my lips and do it again
My claim to fame is I've got no shame
A corpse is a corpse of course
I've got a handful of nails and a crucifix
Just in case that I get bored
Red, white and bruised and bathed in sin
I've been through hell and back again
Bury me now and say it's the end
Oh my god, look at what the bats dragged in
Red, white and bruised and bathed in sin
I've been through hell and back again
Bury me now and say it's the end
Oh my god, look at what the bats dragged in
Oh my god, look at what the bats dragged in
04 Bad Things (03:37)
A bullet in your head is how I want it Your body on the floor -- a Kodak moment You're a waste of air and a waste of space I want sharp objects to fly into your face I hate you now more than I ever did I wanna kill you, dig you up and do it again I want a car to run over your head Put it in reverse and do it again And I would be a liar if I said that it wasn't true I only want bad things to happen to you I want bad things to happen to you I want bad things to happen to you I want very bad things to happen to you It would be really great if you drowned in a lake Or put a bag over your face and watched you suffocate I'd celebrate at your wake, I'd bake myself a cake 'Cause you're my favorite person that I love to hate And you're the reason that murder should be legalized If it was, you'd be dead and in the ground by five Just in case I forgot to say -- I hate you motherfucker in the very worst way And I would be a liar if I said that it wasn't true I only want bad things to happen to you I want bad things to happen to you I want bad things to happen to you I want very bad things to happen to you I want bad things to happen to you I want bad things to happen to you I want bad things to happen to you I want very bad things to happen to you I want bad things to happen to you I want bad things to happen to you I want bad things to happen to you I want very bad things to happen to you
05 House by the Cemetery (03:20)
I hear the devil and he's calling me
In the house by the cemetery
Ghouls and creeps fucking gather 'round
For the evil that's going down
Get down!
Blood in the cradle, guess your baby's dead
The boogie man came and chopped off its head
Knots in the noose, baby duck, duck, goose
White knuckle paranoia, the stitches coming loose
Now you scream in horror
But there's no need to bother
So raise your hands up high
Reach for the sky, motherfucker, die
I hear the devil and he's calling me
In the house by the cemetery
Ghouls and creeps fucking gather 'round
For the evil that's going down
I hear the devil and he's calling me
In the house by the cemetery
This house of horrors has thirteen doors
Behind each one is thirteen more
Murder by numbers, count 'em one, two, three
Nail up the coffin and fucking bury me
Now you scream in horror
But there's no need to bother
So raise your hands up high
Reach for the sky, motherfucker, die
I hear the devil and he's calling me
In the house by the cemetery
Ghouls and creeps fucking gather 'round
For the evil that's going down
Get down!
Now you scream in horror
But there's no need to bother
So raise your hands up high
Reach for the sky, motherfucker, die
I hear the devil and he's calling me
In the house by the cemetery
Ghouls and creeps fucking gather 'round
For the evil that's going down
I hear the devil and he's calling me
In the house by the cemetery
06 God Is a Lie (03:37)
I've made a fist but I cannot knock upon that door
'Cause once I walk through it I won't be coming back no more
It's strange how everything can change oh, so very fast
Somewhere someone out there will always have the last laugh
Just say a prayer for me, in case I forget
And when you speak of me, don't say it in regret
Life's a grave...dig it
I'll put the noose around my neck
Will you get to me just in time?
I've got no reason left to live
But I've got a hundred to die
I'll put my hands together now
Hold them up to the sky
But there's no one to save me, yeah
'Cause I know...God is a lie
God is a lie
Everyday I look at myself and I wonder why
I have written the soundtrack to the end of my life
And as I climb this ladder now it is certain I will fall
God, he must be deaf because he never heard me call
Just say a prayer for me, in case I forget
And when you speak of me, don't say it in regret
Life's a grave...dig it
I'll put the noose around my neck
Will you get to me just in time?
I've got no reason left to live
But I've got a hundred to die
I'll put my hands together now
Hold them up to the sky
But there's no one to save me, yeah
'Cause I know...God is a lie
God is a lie
Somebody save me!
Just say a prayer for me, in case I forget
And when you speak of me, don't say it in regret
Life's a grave...dig it
I'll put the noose around my neck
Will you get to me just in time?
I've got no reason left to live
But I've got a hundred to die
I'll put my hands together now
Hold them up to the sky
But there's no one to save me, yeah
'Cause I know...God is a lie
God is a lie
07 Haunt Me (04:35)
This Halloween I think that we should be together
Just for old time's sake
I wanna hear you scream just like
You used to when we were only thirteen
Now the candle's burning out
And the pumpkin's rotting away
I just want you here beside me
On this lonesome Halloween day
Sitting in the dark
Drinking my own blood
And a voice, it whispers, "Hello my love"
Haunt me, haunt me like you used to
Won't you scare me, oh
Haunt me, haunt me like you used to
I love you best when you scare me to death
I'm laying in our bed with these
Tainted sheets pulled right over my head
I'm singing all our favorite songs out loud
And I'm hoping you can hear them somehow
Now the candle's burning out
And the pumpkin's rotting away
I just want you here beside me
On this lonesome Halloween day
Sitting in the dark
Drinking my own blood
And a voice, it whispers, "Hello my love"
Haunt me, haunt me like you used to
Won't you scare me, oh
Haunt me, haunt me like you used to
I love you best when you scare me to death
Haunt me, haunt me like you used to
Won't you scare me, oh
Haunt me, haunt me like you used to
I love you best when you scare me to death
Every word you said, it ricochets
Just like a bullet in my head
I wish that you could see that our love
Is bringing out the dead in me
Now the candle's burning out
And the pumpkin's rotting away
I just want you here beside me
On this lonesome Halloween day
Sitting in the dark
Drinking my own blood
And a voice, it whispers, "Hello my love"
Haunt me, haunt me like you used to
Won't you scare me, oh
Haunt me, haunt me like you used to
I love you best when you scare me to death
Haunt me, haunt me like you used to
Won't you scare me, oh
Haunt me, haunt me like you used to
I love you best when you scare me to death
08 Transylvania 90210 (03:54)
My room came alive, my dog just died, stacked 13 pennies in his eyes
I stared at the wall, it stared back at me
Started to breath and then it started to bleed
The moon cracked open and it started to flow
And my future was exposed
The gods gave me my own TV show and they called it
Transylvania 90210
I had a plastic casket with candy bones inside
I put the skeleton together and it came to life
He said that I looked bored, he took a knife from the drawer
He said kill for me, what are you waiting for?
The moon cracked open and it started to flow
And my future was exposed
The gods gave me my own TV show and they called it
Transylvania 90210
The moon cracked open and it started to flow
And my future was exposed
The gods gave me my own TV show and they called it

13 The Ghost of Vincent Price (05:08)
I knew that life wouldn't be the same after that fateful day
Dreams were crushed and who's to blame for all my hurt and pain
Can someone tell me why, why did all of my heroes die?
And now there's nothing left but this black heart of mine just cheating death
Just cheating death
I know I'll always get my thrill in that house on Haunted Hill
I know that life can be a gas locked inside that house of wax
Some people prefer the finer things in life
I'm alright just hanging out with the ghost of Vincent Price
Some people prefer the finer things in life
I'm alright just hanging out with the ghost, with the ghost of Vincent Price
It's so strange how my life suddenly went black and white
Like a movie on the screen with Vincent Price co-starring me
It's such a late, late, late show
And when it ends, nobody knows
I never question my sanity when the Lord of the Dead is watching over me
Watching over me
I know I'll always get my thrill in that house on Haunted Hill
I know that life can be a gas locked inside that house of wax
Some people prefer the finer things in life
I'm alright just hanging out with the ghost of Vincent Price
Some people prefer the finer things in life
I'm alright just hanging out with the ghost, with the ghost of Vincent Price
I know I'll always get my thrill in that house on Haunted Hill
I know that life can be a gas locked inside that house of wax
Some people prefer the finer things in life
I'm alright just hanging out with the ghost of Vincent Price
Some people prefer the finer things in life
I'm alright just hanging out with the ghost, with the ghost of Vincent Price
With the ghost of Vincent Price
With the ghost of Vincent Price
With the ghost of Vincent Price
With the ghost of Vincent Price
