1.Apa yang membuat kita manusia?

Bahwa kita bisa berfikir..

Bahwa kita bisa merasakan kesedihan dan kesakitan ..

Mungkin

Bahwa kita bisa tertawa

Kuharap begitu

Kita bias tertawa dan terluka dan bias tahu masa lalu dan masa kini ..

Dan dengan suatu cara.

Masa datang mungkin yang membuat kita manusia

Adalah kita merasa cukup tahu kemana tujuan kita

2.Aku tahu kenapa orang ingin lakukan hal buruk

Alasan sama anak-anak mendorong temannya dilapangan sekolahnya

Jika kau orang yang mendorong

Maka kau bukan orang yg didorong

Jika kau monsternyah

Tak ada yang bersembunyi untuk kemudianmenerjang mu

Sesederhana itu, sungguh

Orang melakukan hal buruk KARENA MEREKA TAKUT

3.Orang-orang kadang-kadang menjalani kehidupannya tanpa benar benar berfikir kemana mereka pergi.

Hari-hari berlalu dan mereka bertambah sedih dan kesepian,tanpa benar-benar tahu menggapa menjadi begitu sedih atau kesepian.

Kadang-kadang sesuatu terjadai,mereka menemukan seseorang dengan rupa tertentu! Atau mungkin senyum mereka .

Mungkin itulah arti jatuh cinta..

Mencari seseorang yang membuat kita merasa nyaman dan tak begitu kesepian!

4.Apa yang membuat manusia menjadi seperti dirinya

Apa karma hal yang terburuk.

Atau hal yang terbaik yang dia inginkan

Waktu kau temukan dirimu ditengah-tengah kehidupan mu,

Dan kau tak mendekati tempat yang kau tuju

Bagaimana kau menemukan jalan dari dirimu sekarang

Menjadi orang yang kau inginkan

The Used thrives on friction. You can hear it on the band's combustible self-titled debut. You can hear it on the tension-filled follow-up, In Love And Death. It's what makes a Used album or performance such an exhilarating ride. Throughout In Love And Death, you can make out a faint ticking sound, but you never know until the very last second whether it's attached to an alarm clock or a time bomb.

Both options are just as likely. The Orem, Utah-based quartet is made up of four distinct personalities, each with individual musical tastes that don't always overlap and strong ideals that are often diametrically opposed. The chemistry might have combusted a lesser band before it even started, but the equally passionate friendships and shared hardships that make up The Used have held it together.

"There was pretty much some drama going on during the whole making of the new album," drummer Branden Steineckert says with a laugh. "There's no such thing as a perfect working environment, and I think the music is better because it didn't come easy."

And what friction the band doesn't create within its own ranks, the members can easily find in the world surrounding them. To an outsider, the church-based culture of Orem might seem like the perfect incubator for a new rock revolution. But ask singer Bert McCracken what he's rebelling against, and in time-honored tradition he'll respond, "whattaya got?"

"I've rebelled against all types of conformity throughout my life, not just Utah's conservative culture," he says. "I rebelled against the Mormon Church by going to other churches. I rebelled against my parents by not eating meat. I rebelled against my friends and myself by doing drugs. And I rebelled against everything that was holding me down by playing music with these guys."

"That was my way of rebelling, too," says guitarist Quinn Allman. "Believing in something real and powerful like music. God is just a concept, but music is tangible."

The band's faith in music ultimately provided an escape from their sleepy hometown, as well as an escape from a combined band history that included poverty, homelessness and, for Bert, drug addiction. The Used documented its own history with surprising candor on the Maybe Memories CD-plus-DVD title, presciently capturing its rise from bedroom to enormodome on digital video.

"If you hear a rumor that there's a big party on the other side of the fence, you just want to peek over so bad," Quinn says of the band's desire to flee Orem, to which they've since returned following their success. "We just kept repeating to ourselves, 'We can get out of here. We can do this.'"

"In our minds, it wasn't an option to fail," says bassist Jeph Howard. "We didn't have anything to fall back on."

In many ways, The Used is a completely different band than the one that recorded its debut (the disc has since sold in excess of a million copies). Prior to the release of that album in June 2002, the band had only performed twenty shows in and around Orem. Since then, they've logged a superhuman 600 dates around the world, including successful stints on Ozzfest, Vans Warped Tour and, most recently, Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution tour. Not surprisingly, In Love And Death reflects that accelerated growth cycle.

"I don't think we could have written the first album again because we're all such different people now," says Branden. "Before, we were just writing alone in our house and we were hungry and we were trying to work jobs and we couldn't afford drum sticks and strings. Those things were easier to come by this time, but we had new challenges and new pressures weighing upon us."

The band worked once again with producer John Feldmann. As with the first album, Feldmann enthusiastically facilitated the band's experimental flights and fought alongside--and occasionally with (that friction again)--the band to make the best possible album, one built to weather fickle trends.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," Branden says of the in-studio chemistry. "We enjoyed working with Feldmann so much the first time, plus he knows each of us so well as people. He watched us grow from being kids from nowhere who knew nothing to the musicians we are today. It seemed very necessary to do the album with him again. He complements us really well."

"We all knew that the final product we created together last time was totally sick," says Jeph. "And we were confident this time that none of us would stop until we were all happy with the results. We all got what we wanted and I think we impressed each other even though we'd butt heads. Everyone was really pushing themselves and trying new things."

As such, the album has incredible range. On one extreme, there's "Listening," a bullet-shaped juggernaut of syncopated guitar-bass-drums over which Bert alternately caterwauls and croons, simultaneously singing about and approximating a communication breakdown. On the other extreme, there's "Lunacy Fringe," a jaunty, Bacharach-esque pop number arranged for brushed snare, stand-up bass and pizzicato strings.

With a long-term career beckoning, you have to wonder if Bert has decided to rein in the pace and run this heat more like a marathon than a sprint. "That's a good question," he says. "Sometimes things just seem out of my control, but they really never are. That's what 'Take It Away' is about. I just need to take small steps every day."

Very rarely does a monumental record find itself matched with the promise of commercial success. But the strength, intensity and explosive lure of DEFINE THE GREAT LINE-UNDEROATH's follow up to its over 350,000 selling 2004 breakthrough They're Only Chasing Safety--is undeniable.

"We went into the studio wanting to make this record count," says guitarist TIM MCTAGUE. "We wanted to make it life-changing for the people who heard it. We knew it had the potential to do well, but we weren't basing our future on that. We feel we've written the best album that any of us will probably ever be a part of and above all else, we're super proud of it."

Crafted with the help of Atlanta-based producer/drummer Matt Goldman-who helped pour the rhythmic foundation-and Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz-who lent his experience to help capture the guitars and vocals and encouraged these Warped Tour veterans to use E-bows, reel bows and experiment with delays and effects pedals-the resulting DEFINE THE GREAT LINE is a mind-blowing song-cycle that resets the notion of what hardcore, screamo or whatever you want to call it, can be.

"We didn't want to take the normal approach, with just two guitar tracks, drum tracks, vocal tracks or whatever," MCTAGUE explains. "We really made an effort to expand in our minds about what UNDEROATH could do." To which founding kitman AARON GILLESPIE adds, "We couldn't be happier. When I look back on the time we spent on this album, I don't think we would have done anything different."

If "A Moment Suspended In Time" is the most direct, heartfelt musical assault since At The Drive-In's "One Armed Scissor"-replete with explosive drumming and the inexplicably delightful amalgam of mayhem and melody-the Florida-based sextet's depth and ability is no doubt bolstered by its higher calling.

"I feel like I want people to know we're a Christian band," vocalist SPENCER CHAMBERLAIN says of UNDEROATH's collective devotion. "But at the same time I don't like tacking God or the fact that we're Christian onto something to sell more records. I don't want just to be marketed as a Christian band because I think we go beyond that. Tags can be limiting." ]

"For us it's a fear of stereotype," GILLESPIE explains. "Like, 'You're Christian, so you can't be my friend.' I mean, Jesus was at lunch with whores and hookers! Still, our Christianity defines who we are."

And for UNDEROATH-which also counts keyboardist CHRIS DUDLEY, bassist GRANT BRANDELL and guitarist JAMES SMITH-there's a purpose in the music, be it the cathartic, introspective "You're Ever So Inviting" or the intoxicatingly forceful "In Regards To Myself." The latter opens the album with equal parts conviction and commotion, and boasts Spencer's bloodcurdling inquiry, "What are you so afraid of?" only to be countered by a stunning, turn-on-a-dime harmony.

"With this record I just wrote about myself and my life," CHAMBERLAIN says proudly. "On They're Only Chasing Safety, I wrote about scenarios because I had only recently joined the band and I was still adapting to the situation. This time there were no limitations and I'm writing about the stuff that I know and feel strongly about. And because I'm emotionally invested in it, I think it just feels right." A listen to the deeply personal, "There Could Be Nothing After This," an inventive, experimental blast of guitars and inner searching affirms this sentiment.

"Our last record was like, ten songs on a CD," TIM says. "And you could go and listen to each song individually to decide what you like or you don't. But this is the first time we composed an album. In the past it was just the ten or so songs we wrote in a garage and recorded and eventually some kids bought it. This time we knew we didn't want to regurgitate anything. It had to be cohesive."

If the stakes felt high after the group became Solid State's best selling band, the men of UNDEROATH kept their focus and avoided the stresses that have sabotaged so many follow up discs. "Pressure is only there if you buy into it," AARON says. "As long as we were going where we wanted to go and we were making it unique, that's all that mattered."

Or as TIM succinctly puts it, "We don't need to pump out ten singles for an album. We're not Fall Out Boy. Those bands are great for what they are but that's not what we're aspiring to be at all."

"We wanted to provoke a lot of thought lyrically and musically," MCTAGUE continues. "We didn't want it to be a record that you put in and you're instantly hooked because those records fall off. Catchy hooks seem cool for about a week, but then--when you're sick of it, you realize there is no substance. You can throw the record away. We'd rather be a band like Refused, At The Drive-In or Glassjaw, where you listen to it and you like it but you don't really get it immediately. But you keep listening to it and all the little pieces come into focus."

As for clarity regarding the disc's title, SPENCER says, "I liked how broad it is. DEFINE THE GREAT LINE can be interpreted so many different ways. When we all started in our various bands we were a bunch of 18-year-old kids. Over the last two years I've watched us grow into the kind of men we're going to be. To me it's the way I feel. It's the way God has called me to be. It's just an imaginary line that I try to balance myself on to be the best person I can be. I've made tons of mistakes and I'm just an idiot kid sometimes and it may take me my entire life to be the person that I aspire to be, but that's my goal: To be the best kind of dude I can be."

And if it's that spirit that sets UNDEROATH's fierce, foot-stomping metallic drive (see "Returning Empty Handed") apart from its peers, perhaps MCTAGUE puts it best when he talks about the real rewards of being in one of the biggest genre- defining bands today. "For me, the kids that we meet at shows who come up to us and tell us, 'I was going to kill myself and then I heard this song of yours that changed my life around spiritually.' Or even the one who said, 'I had no one to turn to when my parents divorced, but your record got me through it.' That's what it's all about for me. That's what makes us more than just some crappy rock band."

Message received. DEFINE THE GREAT LINE is indeed one of 2006's defining musical moments. ---UNDEROATH OFFICIAL WEBSITE

About
"Alesana's music is a livewire; a storm of pulsing emotion courses through every note on Frail Wings."---Chord Magazine

"On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax is possibly my post-hardcore album of 2006. It's hard for a band to pull off screaming/growling and mix it in with soothing vocals. Alesana can pull it off full force."---SkylinePress.com

"Mutlti-layered guitars that run from slow rolling waves to fill in tsunami cashes, combine with scream-sing vocals makes for a journey with lots of up and downs, much like the travels of life."--- Zero Magazine

"Alesana has its feet planted firmly in the hard-core/screamo world, but mixes it up with enough pop hooks and gorgeous harmonies."--- North County Times

"The complexity and intensity of these songs suggests Frank Zappa." "Intelligence, fury, chops, and musicianship. Alesana is well on its way."---Drum Magazine
