Alors je vous propose un petit tour à travers les différents albums que j'ai sous la main de Morning Again
 | 1 : Turning Over 2 : Family Ties 3 : America Online 4 : Minus One 5 : Remedy 6 : Hand Of Hope 7 : God Framed Me |
c'est en 1996 que cet album vu le jour. Cependant, c'est après Martyr et As Tradition Dies Slowly que j'ai pu l'écouter. Leur musique est beaucoup plus accessible que ce qu'ils vont faire par la suite. Le groupe se rapproche un peu plus de ce qui se fait dans ce temps là. C'est le premier band que j'ai entendu parlé et chanter à travers des riffs métals. Ce fut un choc à l'époque pour moi. L'album dure 29 minutes et il contient selon moi, trois des meilleurs pièces de ce groupe. "America On Line", "Minus One", "God Framed Me".
Les textes de "America On Line" sont encore très actuels. Je vous laisse les lire par vous même
"are you so blind to what lies beyond the screen? are entrapped by the network beyond the network? are you confined by this prison called online? a convenience designed to keep you immobile. live in that chair, content and unaware, as technological breakthrough breaks you down. I will be the circuit breaker. we are drawn to a lack of effort, as we abandon all work ethic. there's a difference between using and being used. I am guilty of this too, but not engulfed like you. there's a difference between using and being used, you're being abused. you, the consumer have been consumed. progress sets us back. can you not see the regression this binds you to? can you not feel these shackles placed on you? when information is the pistol to your head, and the lures of luxury outweigh all that's true. america online. "
 | 1 : Not By Birth 2 : Slave 3 : Broken Promises 4 : Puppet And Soldier 5 : No Path To Follow 6 : Cradle Of Empty Promise 7 : Martyr |
L'album date de 1997 et est sorti sous l'étiquette Good Life Recordings. Cet album contient deux de mes pièces préférés du groupe, "Broken Promises" et "Puppet And Soldier".
"Broken promises. For moments of a false emotion.
Broken promises. Never again"
à l'intérieur de l'album, il y a un texte de John Michael Wylie, Guitariste du groupe, qui dit à quel point la vie le deçoit. il dit : "It never lasts or I end up disappointed with it enventually" en parlant des nouvelles choses et des trucs qu'il aime dans sa vie. Je me replace en 1997, secondaire 3, ça résume assez bien ce que je pensais...
 | 1 : Stones 2 : Seasons 3 : Murder You Call War 4 : As Tradition Dies Slowly 5 : Uncivil Hands 6 : Dictation Of Beauty 7 : Free To Decide 8 : Martyr 9 : Words Of A Chosen Few 10 : Rights Of Passage |
Morning Again délaisse Good Life Recordings pour sortir leur premier album complet, qui va être sous Revelation Records. L'album est définitivement mon coup de coeur dans la discographie de Morning Again. Les pièces qui retiennent mon attention sont : "Stones" "Seasons", "Murder You Call War ", "As Tradition Dies Slowly" et "Dictation Of Beauty". Dans la pochette de l'album, Le groupe explique chacune des chansons, ce qui rend l'album beaucoup plus intéressant. " As Tradition Dies Slowly, Not Soon Enough For Me"
 | 1 : Uncivil Hands 2 : Seed 3 : Stun The Evolution 4 : To Die A Bitter Death 5 : Noteworthy Instruction |
Le dernier album de Morning Again (moins la compilation hand of martyr), et le dernier que je possède par le fait même. L'album m'accroche beaucoup moins que les premiers que j'ai commenté précedemment. La seule chose qui m'a marquée de cet album. C'est le texte que John a écrit à l'intérieur.
Je terminerai ma critique de Morning Again en le citant.
The Fallen... The Few That Remain
" Since my time with Morning Again there has been a lot going on within the hardcore scene, and it seems to be changing for the worse. Every day there seems to be less and less involvement with the politics in the hardcore scene. I hear comments all the time that politics have no place in hardcore and I don't understand how this has come about so quickly. Of all the bands around today, how many of them give something positive to think about? There are definitely some left, but not nearly as many as there should be. This is not to say that non-political hardcore band has no place in the scene, because there are plenty of great bands out there like that."

The countless conversations that made me feel being in a hardcore band saved me from living the same pointless life that everyone else was living. What made me different was that I was open to new ideas presented to me by people I met, books I read and songs I listened to. I realized that there was so much more to life than going to school just so I could work forty hours a week at some job I hated to make everyone else happy. I realized that there were things I could do to make myself a better person. I felt That I Had a brand new chance at life when I got into hardcore because I learned so much. That, however, is only the first step.

Many have given the facts that it's not "cool" to be vegan or straightedge anymore. Many have started to become more accepting of ideas within the hardcore scene and everyday life that they used to be so much against. Politics do have place in hardcore. One of the most important aspects of hardcore is sharing information with each other so we can learn and improve ourselves. The face that keeping you mind clean and abstaining from drugs and alcohol is still the most logical thing to do has not changed. For The Fallen, you obviously never understood why you changed in the first place. For the few that remain, keep your heap up and continue to live, learn and expand your mind. It is your responsibility to keep the spirit alive
[...]
To make a positive change in your life and live by your own rules. "
