 Небольшой успех первого альбома группы Fight "War Of Words" лично мне абсолютно непонятен. Бывшие коллеги Роба Хэлфорда из Judas Priest вообще ничего не выпускали и находились в анабиозе, волна Сиэтлского гранжа уже потихоньку теряла свою популярность, зато брутальные команды типа Pantera или только-только зародившихся Korn как раз находились на гребне успеха. Поскольку музыкальный материал Fight как раз и представлял из себя умелый микс классического хэви с современными веяниями энгри метала, по идее его должны были неплохо раскупить, учитывая к тому же все имени маэстро Хэлфорда. Видимо не судьба! "War Of Words" продавался неважно, но группа не отчаивалась и дала множество концертов в поддержку своего первого релиза. А в 1994 году, специально для немногочисленных фэнов, был выпущен этот небольшой сборничек, получивший название "Mutations". Состоит сей диск из двух частей. Первая половина - это четыре концертных номера, записанных во время турне Fight по Америке. Зажигательные боевики "Into The Pit" и "Nailed To The Gun" в "живом" варианте звучат ничуть не хуже студийных собратьев. Классический хит Judas Priest "Freewheel Burning" также сыгран весьма энергично и с долей современного колорита. Ну а самым впечатляющим моментом на диске стал, несомненно, распеваемый в едином порыве всем залом шизанутый номер "Little Crazy". Так что к концертной части "Mutations" у меня нет никаких претензий. Зато вторая половина как раз и состоит из "мутаций". Если проще, электронно-индустриальных ремиксов на пять песен с "War Of Words". Как видно, Роб уже тогда неслабо заинтересовался подобным видом искусства. Комментировать эти треки я не буду, поскольку считаю, что ничего в музыке нет бездарнее и неинтереснее чем различные ремиксы любых видов. Итог получается таким - четыре отличных "живых" номера и еще двадцать минут музыкального мусора. Если бы не "лив" оценка была бы, наверное, еще ниже. |

Defenceless no longer
Expulsion by mass
Into the pit
Into the pit
Into the pit
Into the pit
2. Freewheel Burning (Live)
[Halford/Downing/Tipton]
Fast and furious
We ride the universe
To carve a road for us
That slices every curve in sight
We accelerate,
No time to hesitate
This load will detonate
Whoever would
Contend its right
Born to lead
At breakneck speed
With high octane
We're spitting flames
Freewheel burning
On we catapult
We're thrusting to the hilt
Unearthing every fault
Go headlong into any dare
We don't accept defeat
We never will retreat
We blaze with scorching heat
Obliterations everywhere
Look before you leap
Has never been the way we keep
Our road is free
Charging to the top
And never give in never stops
The Way to be
Hold on to the lead
With all your will and concede
You'll find there's life
With victory on high
Freewheel Burning
3. War Of Words (Bloody Tongue Mix)
[Halford]
Congress shall make no law
Respecting an establishment of religion
Or prohibiting the free exercice thereof
Or abridging the freedom of speech
Or of the press
Or of the right of the people peacefully to assemble
And to petition the government for a re-dress of grievances
Revoke this verbal mental muzzle
Protect the freedom of the mind
Speak out against the prejudicial
Extinguish ignorance by mouth
War of words
War of words
Disarm the bigotry with talk, talk
Incite the darkness from the veil
React to rhetoritic conflict
Object with anger at the law
War of words
War of words
War of words
War of words
Congress shall make no law
Respecting an establishment of religion
Or prohibiting the free exercice thereof
Or abridging the freedom of speech
Or of the press
Or of the right of the people peacefully to assemble
And to petition the government for a re-dress of grievances
Denied opinion comes from silence
Remove the pressure of the tongue
Assault by speech toward the discord
Attack the fundamental creed
War of words
War of words
War of words
War of words
A War of words
A War of words
A War of words
A War
4. Vicious (Middle Finger Mix)
[Halford]
Would I lie to you man
I'm your only friend
Always on your side
Till the bitter end
Vicious, vicious
Fucker, fucker
Vicious, vicious
Fucker, fucker
Let me plan you future
I know what does you good
One more step back further
What's a little blood
Vicious, vicious
Fucker, fucker
Vicious, vicious
Fucker, fucker
I'm all heart and sincere
Trusts my middle name
You can walk on water
You drown I'll take the blame
Vicious, vicious
Fucker, fucker
Vicious, vicious
Fucker, fucker
5. Little Crazy (Straight Jacket Mix)
[Halford]
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
Under my skin and into my bones
I feel insanity begin to make its home
Into my vision and through my mouth
Somebody's working me to get me all strung out
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
There goes my reason
Where's all my hope
I'm just a puppet pulled by stings to make me cope
I'm seeing nothing
What's all this noise
Could someone give me something
Just to get me through this boy
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
Under my skin and into my bones
I feel insanity begin to make its home
Into my vision and through my mouth
Somebody's working me to get me all strung out
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
6. Nailed To The Gun (Live)
[Halford]
Sig sauer, victim of a systems non-control
Devour, striking terror into every soul
Communication breakdown onto self destruction
Schizophrenic people breeding hate
Pessimistic thinking from a failed connection
Survival comes when we annihilate
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Paranoia, termination sickness zeros good
Blind power, executing humans in cold blood
Degenerating children with an opiate bullet
Poison flows from words out on the street
Trapped inside the home that has become the prison
Dissin' everybody that we meet
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Locked and loaded, governmental loss to anarchy
Weapon goaded, magnum is gagging liberty
Cultural collision in an endless frenzy
Numbing minds with threats of violence
Hopeless to the dream of any decent future
Running on sheer fear and ignorance
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
7. Little Crazy (Live)
[Halford/Downing/Tipton]
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
Under my skin and into my bones
I feel insanity begin to make its home
Into my vision and through my mouth
Somebody's working me to get me all strung out
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
There goes my reason
Where's all my hope
I'm just a puppet pulled by stings to make me cope
I'm seeing nothing
What's all this noise
Could someone give me something
Just to get me through this boy
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
Under my skin and into my bones
I feel insanity begin to make its home
Into my vision and through my mouth
Somebody's working me to get me all strung out
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
It's allright, it's allright, it's allright
I'm just a little crazy
8. Kill It (Dutch Death Mix)
[Halford]
Trangress your fake religion
Sick ideology
Debased TV communion
Apology?
Contempious self indulgence
Outsides a living hell
Excessive words can't enter
This padded cell
Kill it, kill it, kill it
Kill it, kill it, kill it
Infernal thoughts invading
My inhumanity
Provoked by godly judgement
Wait till I'm free
Assult the shinning icon
My temples severd head
The lambs satanic beating
Incestious bred
Kill it, kill it, kill it
Kill it, kill it, kill it
Our father screams in heaven
Wounded and wire tied
Imploring for extinction
We're crucified
Accused by burning angels
Unconcious in a cage
I eat the holy bible
I am the plague
Kill it, kill it, kill it
Kill it, kill it, kill it
Kill it
Kill it
Kill it
9. Immortal Sin (Tolerance Mix)
[Halford]
Torn by the wrath that burns like a buried flame
Crossed in the heart from this voice thats a nagging pain
Snared to the book of God with a twisted fear
Help me from being damned by a righteous spear
It's immortal sin
It's immortal sin
It's immortal sin
Chained with a crooked stare that conceals a lie
Choked on a love that's judged from an evil eye
Lost in a world of hurt through a sense of doubt
Take all the numbing grief let the poison out
It's immortal sin
It's immortal sin
It's immortal sin
It's immortal sin
It's immortal sin
It's immortal sin
Torn by the wrath that burns like a buried flame
It's immortal sin
It's immortal sin
It's immortal sin
