Control - Punk Rock Ruined My Life CD
[4S937]

Po debutovém albu Hooligan Rock´n´Roll, split EP s Marching Orders, Business a EPku Trouble on the Streets posílá do sv?ta tahle britská parti?ka do sv?ta druhé album s názvem Punk Rock Ruined My Life (s dodatkem but I wouldn´t Change a Thing). Taky je proslavil song Keep the Home Fires Burning z Green Street Hooligans 2. Na albu najdete 15 song?, coľ odpovídá cirka 3 minuty na song. Krom? klasický kytary, basy a bicí uslyąíte v n?kterých písních i banjo a trumpetu (No Help for Heroes). Co se mi líbilo na prvním albu, bylo to, ľe kapela dovedla sloľit song o pal?ivé problému spol?enosti, o které se vlád? a politik?m nechce mluvit a p?ichází se svými sranda ?eąeními, které v d?sledku k ni?emu nebudou. Takľe pokud chcete slyąet kritiku sou?asnýho systému v UK, tak Control Vám vąe ?eknou p?kn? od plic. CD otevírá apokalyptický intro Thrown To the Wolves, coľ je vzkaz vlád? UK, která se oto?ila zády ke svým ob?an?m. Následuje song Punk Rock Ruined my Life, který m? dostal svým agresivním zvukem (hlavn? basa, kytarové vyhrávky a st?ídání hrubąího a jemn?jąího hlasu v refrénu) a je o tom, jak se díky kapele m?ľe zm?nit váą sv?t, kdy máte moľnost podívat se díky pozvání na kocnert n?kam po sv?t?, coľ ale ohroľuje vaąí práci a moľnost placení ú?t?. Druhej song je melodi?t?jąí a prost? mi p?ipomn?l starý Dropkick Murphys, hlavn? svým singalongovým refrénem a jmenuje se High Time I Hung my Boots a je o tom, ľe kaľdej by se n?kdy na to vąecko nejradąi vysral, ale pokaľdý Vás to p?itáhne zpátky, protoľe je to n?co skv?lého a ľijeme jen jednou. Daląí song, co bych vypíchnul, se jmenuje No Help for Heroes s parádním refrénem a jeľ povaľuju díky pouľití trumpety za nejlepąí song na albu a je o vedení nesmyslných cizích válek kv?li lidem naho?e. Potom ur?it? singalongová hitovka Rebellion in my Blood (která mi kompozicí troąku p?ipomene Agnostic Front) a p?edevąím song Ian Huntley, coľ je ?lov?k (dá-li se to tak v?bec ?íct), který si odpykává doľivotí za vraľdu dvou desetiletých dívek (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fc/Sohamchapmana-
ndwells.jpg). Na ten tematicky navazuje song Job to Do, který za?íná akusticky a je o tom, jak se ve stát?, kde pro vrahy a jiné t?ľké zlo?ince neplatí spravedlnost objeví mstitel, který vykonává spravedlnost po svém. Ostatní songy vypovídají nap?íklad o zvyąující se d?tské kriminalit?, kdy kaľdej druhej teenager nosí kudlu nebo kvér (Another Mother´s Sound), media co ví vąe o skinheads (He´s a Skinhead - koukn?te na ofiko video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbBc49qQxO8), chytrém nápadu britského parlamentu ud?lat zákon, který umoľní duąevn? nestabilním a nemocným jedinc?m volný pohyb ve spole?nosti (Chaos in Community) nebo vąem ob?tem válek a hlavn? propagand?, která válku zobrazuje jako dovolenou (Soliders of Misfortune). Parádní v?cí je fakt, ľe krom vąech text? zde najdete i krátké povídání ke kaľdému songu (coľ je podstatný pro lidi, kte?í neví tolik o tom, co za kravinu zrovna schválí UK vláda a ze samotného textu songu by to t?eba nebylo pochopitelné ? t?eba Chaos in Community). Jak uľ jsem psal, kapela má hodn? agresivní zvuk a skute?n? si p?i jejich poslechu neodpo?inete, naopak se jeąt? víc naserete. Control jsou kapelou, která otvírá a navíc jeąt? sype s?l do bolestných ran, které chce vláda a spole?nost naoko zalepit, ale p?itom nechat bez lé?by odum?ít. Doporu?uju vąema 10 (krom? toho tenhle tejden to vypadá na recenze samejch briskejch kapel, tak t?eba tu máme po pár letech spánku 4. vlnu Oi! hudby).

After the debut album called Hooligan Rock´n´Roll, split EP with Marching Orders, Business and EP Trouble on the Streets is here second album from this British lads called Punk Rock Ruined My Life (with subtitle but I wouldn´t Change a Thing). Also they get little bit famous with the song Keep the Home Fires Burning from Green Street Hooligans 2. On this album you´ll find 15 songs which mean circa 3 minutes on one song. Instead of classic instruments like guitar, bass and drums you´ll hear also banjo and trumpet (No Help for Heroes). On first album I like the fact that the band knows how to make a song about the problem in society which isn´t too talked by government and politicians. So if you want to hear some lyrics which criticize UK system, choose Control. CD is opened with apocalyptic intro called Thrown To the Wolves which is dedication to UK government which turns away from the people. Second song is Punk Rock Ruined my Life really catch me with their aggressive sound (mainly bass and guitar solos and changing of the rough and soft vocal in refrain) and it is about how can punk rock band you play in change your life ? you can see other places because of gigs but it can ruin your work and paying the bills. Second song is more melodic similar to older Dropkick Murphys stuff mainly thanks to its great singalong refrain. It is called High Time I Hung my Boots and it is about the feeling which everyone surely had to piss on everything but also that you always come back because it is great and we only have one life. Another song which I like is called No Help for Heroes with great refrain. In this song you can hear the trumpet and form me it is the best song from the album. It is about nonsense wars for the people above us. Then also great singalong masterpiece Rebellion in my Blood (which reminds me Agnostic Front stuff) and mainly song called Ian Huntley who is man (if you can say man about him) who has life imprisonment for murder of two 10 year girls (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fc/Sohamchapmana-
ndwells.jpg). This song is tied together with the next one called Job to Do which starts with acoustic guitar and it is about the state without justice for murderers and dangerous criminals with vigilante who took justice in his hands. Other songs are about the increasing criminality of teenagers when every teenager carries knife or gun (Another Mother´s Sound), media that knows everything about skinheads (He´s a Skinhead ? see official video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbBc49qQxO8), clever idea from British law to send mentally unstable free into normal society (Chaos in Community) or about the victims of war propaganda which draws war like holiday (Soliders of Misfortune). Great is also the short description to the lyrics (which is cool for people who doesn´t know every law which approved and you can´t understand it from the song- like Chaos in Community). As I wrote before it has really aggressive sound and you can´t rest while listening to that album?you will probably get angrier then before. Control is band which opens and pours salt into wounds which government tries to tape but leave without treatment to die. Really recommended and full points for Control (by the way this week I have to review only British bands so it looks like that we have 4th wave of British Oi! after several years).
