CHECK'S IN THE MAIL
Victory, una
banda que surge de los restos de otra anterior llamada Fargo que había
estado en activo entre 1973 y 1984. En 1985, algunos miembros de Fargo
se reunen bajo el nombre de Victory y comienzan a sacar discos en 1985.
Victory atraviesa diversas fases y su música también evoluciona pudiendo
hacerse según mi criterio dos fases, hasta 1992 en que la banda hace un
hard ' n ' heavy muy ochentero, y desde entonces en adelante con discos
más complejos y experimentales y con separaciones y reuniones
incluidas. Teóricamente la banda sigue en activo y se rumorea que
sacarán en breve algo de material nuevo. Hasta la fecha de esta reseña,
Victory tienen 10 discos de estudio, de los que inevitablemente tengo
que quedarme con los que inician su andadura como banda, las obras
sacadas hasta el 92 de entre las que destaco este "Don't get mad get
even", de 1986, su segunda obra de estudio, de la que ya dejé hace meses
otro tema en el blog y posiblemente la obra de esta banda que a mi
personalmente
más me gusta. En ella encontramos un heavy hard muy bien compuesto y que
te llega enseguida y en la que todos los temas encajan a la perfección
unos con otros.Con Charlie Huhn a la voz, Tommy Newton a la guitarra,
Herman Frank a la guitarra también, Fritz Randow a la batería y Peter
Knorn al bajo, presentan un plantel de lujo que se nota tanto en la
composición de la obra como en su sonido, una de esas obras tan
menospreciadas para mi gusto como fundamentales, y de la que hoy quiero
dejar en el blog otro de sus temas, en concreto el que abre la obra "Check's in the mail", del que dejo un enlace a youtube.
If promises were dollars
I'd be a millionaire
Instead I'm living in squalor
And getting skinny and pale
You know your phone is always busy
Or else you put me on hold
I'm getting hungry and dizzy
And this is getting real old
The postman don't ring twice of my house
In fact he don't ring at all
No U.P.S. no Federal Express
Won't somebody give me a call
You say the check's in the mail
Is it a lie?
The check's in the mail
Or just another tall tale
Don't tell me baby
I've heard it all before
The check's in the mail
You say the check's in the mail
Is it a lie?
The check's in the mail
Or just another tall tale
Don't tell me baby
I've heard it all before
The check's in the mail
You say you'll pay me tomorrow
But tomorrow never comes
I got nowhere to borrow
It's time to get out the guns
The light in the tunnel
Is just an oncoming train
Better listen to the rumble
'Cause it's the calm before the rain
The postman don't ring twice of my house
In fact he don't ring at all
No U.P.S. no Federal Express
Won't somebody give me a call
You say the check's in the mail
Is it a lie?
The check's in the mail
Or just another tall tale
Don't tell me baby
I've heard it all before
The check's in the mail
I look every day
'Cause the check's in the mail
Is it a lie?
The check's in the mail
Or just another tall tale
Don't tell me baby
I'd really be surprised
The check's in the mail
The check's in the mail
The check's in the mail
The check's in the mail
The check's in the mail
You say the check's in the mail
Is it a lie?
The check's in the mail
Or just another tall tale
Don't tell me baby
I've heard it all before
The check's in the mail
You say the check's in the mail
I've been knocking 'round your door
The check's in the mail
I got something in store
Don't tell me baby
Can't take it no more
You say the check's in the mail
You say the check's in the mail
I'm getting my gun
The check's in the mail
I'm gonna have me some fun
Don't tell me baby
Because I've heard it before
