В 1988 году состав германского хард-н-хэви коллектива претерпел некоторые изменения: коллектив покинул вокалист Чарли Хьюн, несмотря на выпуск довольно успешных первых трех работ, а на его место приглашен молодой аргентинский певец Фернандо Гарсия. Однако это не помешало "Culture Killed The Native" достичь еще большего коммерческого успеха, чем предыдущиt альбомы. Продюсер Альберт Бокхол вместе с музыкантами заметно обновили звучание группы. Теперь музыка Victory характеризуется весьма сочной тяжестью и упором скорее на хэви-метал с элементами глэма, чем на хард-рок. Новый вокалист с более высоким и агрессивным голосом, чем у Чарли Хьюна, прекрасно вписался в обновленную стилистику коллектива, заметно крепче стали хоры в припевах. Качество звучания и аранжировок здесь на высшем уровне и значительно превосходит предыдущие работы. Заметно развитие и в музыкальном материале: песни стали сложнее и при этом мелодичнее. Лучшими среди них являются очень хитовые среднетемповые боевики "Don't Tell No Lies", "Always The Same" и "The Warning", а также неожиданно тяжелая и мрачная баллада "On The Loose", аналогов которой практически нет в творчестве коллектива. Остальной материал тоже на высшем уровне и практически идеален по всем параметрам. Легкий налет AOR в некоторых песнях ничуть не испортил музыку, а только разнообразил ее. Для меня это, пожалуй, лучший альбом и вершина развития Victory и за все время их существования и одна из лучших работ германского хард'н'хэви, являющейся настоящей классикой тяжелой рок-музыки. Да и вообще, "Culture Killed The Native" стоит того, чтобы с ним ознакомились все любители качественного классического металла. |

Not enough, I must score
More and more
Your love is the stuff I'd die for
More and more
You tease and mislead
More and more
You're driving me so crazy, babe
I want you more and more
Hey, which face is on today
Why are you playing games behind the masquerade
I'm burning
Start shaking, breaking
Can't take it
Can't shake it
Oh, you're killing me
I must break free
More and more
Not enough, I must score
More and more
Your love is the stuff I'd die for
More and more
You tease and mislead
More and more
More and more
Not enough, I must score
More and more
Your love is the stuff I'd die for
More and more
You tease and mislead
More and more
You're driving me so crazy, babe
More and more
I must score
More and more
Your love is the stuff I'd die for
More and more
You tease and mislead
More and more
You're driving me crazy
2. Never Satisfied
You're the kind of girl who wants it all
I'm telling you you're heading
You're heading for a fall
You take me for granted
Give nothing in return
And how I'm feeling is not your concern
You cheat and use me
I don't need it, no!
'Cos you are
Never satisfied
Don't know how hard I've tried
Never satisfied
Better use some other guy
No, you're never satisfied
I know you think that I'm some kind of fool
Who'll always be there to jump for you
But I've been pushed and now I'm getting out
It's time you learned what love's all about
You take and fake
I don't need it, no!
'Cos you are
Never satisfied
Don't know how hard I've tried
Never satisfied
I'm glad you say good bye
Never satisfied
I don't know how many times
Never satisfied
I'm tired of all these fights
Never satisfied
Don't know how hard I've tried
Never satisfied
I'm glad you say good bye
You cheat and use me
I don't need it, no!
'Cos you are
Never satisfied
Don't know how hard I've tried
Never satisfied
I don't need it, no!
Never satisfied
3. Don't Tell No Lies
You hear them on the radio, see them on TV
They say the things you wanna hear
And lie so easily
They give you this
They give you that
Empty promises are bait for the trap
Hear what I say
Don't tell no lies
Say no more
Your words disguise
You're never gonna win
Don't tell no lies
You better think again
Don't tell no lies, think again
They say they can change the world
And make it a better place
But don't be fooled, they're playing a part
In this red rat race
So when you are alone
When you are afraid
Don't forget what they've made
Don't tell no lies
Better stop
Your words disguise
Don't tell me no lies
Don't tell no lies
Say no more
Don't tell no lies
Think again
Your words disguise
You're not gonna
Screw up my life
No more
I know where you
Are coming from
I know where you belong
Don't tell no lies
Say no more
Your words disguise
You're never gonna win
Don't tell no lies
You better think again
Don't tell no lies
Don't tell no lies
Say no more
Your words disguise
You're never gonna win
Don't tell no lies
You better think again
Don't tell no lies, think again
4. Always The Same
We want some action
It's what we came for
No more excuses
'Cos we've heard 'em all before
Gonna make some thunder
Gonna make a storm
We keep getting put down
Enough is enough
'Cos this is a break out
From now on we're playing rough
Can you feel the hunger, danger in the air
New stand's at hand, time to right some wrongs
And it's always the same
No change, like talking to a wall
Always the same
Some day, that big wall is gonna fall
Always the same
They don't understand us
Can't see the real truth
We want some answers
What are we coming to?
Is it any wonder, that we are so confused
No trust, for us, they don't hear the call
Always the same
No change, like talking to a wall
Always the same
Some day, that big wall is gonna fall
And it's always the same
No change, like talking to a wall
Always the same
Some day, that big wall is gonna fall
No change, like talking to a wall
Always the same
Some day, that big wall is gonna fall
It's always the same
5. Power Strikes The Earth
I've heard the voice of the master
Gave me a magic touch
The energy of a generator
I've never felt so much
I was talking to an angel
With a fast guitar
It felt wild - the air was electric
Flying through the stars
They just said
You're the one
Let it rip
Time has come
It's a gift, coming from above
Are you ready
Power strikes the earth
Power strikes the earth
Power strikes the earth
This planet is a-rockin' through the universe
Your Hi-Fi is a solar system
Just a space machine
Hit the switch and leave tonight
Blast into a dream
An new age
Now we know
Out there
We're not alone
Across the sky, they're gonna rock and roll
Are you ready
Power strikes the earth
Power strikes the earth
Power strikes the earth
This planet is a-rockin' through the universe
Power strikes the earth
Power strikes the earth
Power strikes the earth
This planet is a-rockin' through the universe
An new age
Now we know
Out there
We're not alone
Across the sky, they're gonna rock and roll
Are you ready
Power strikes the earth
Power strikes the earth
Power strikes the earth
This planet is a-rockin' through the universe
Power strikes the earth
Power strikes the earth
Power strikes the earth
This planet is a-rockin' through the universe
This planet is a-rockin' through the universe
6. Lost In The Night
Some night, somewhere
Come on, beneath the neon lights
With a face so innocent
Out there the men
With money, but without a name
Are like moths drawn to your flame
So you walk the night again
Hurt so much you feel no pain
Through walls I hear
You scream his name out in the dark
It's your cry from the heart
Will you ever make it good
Wanna help, I wish I could
I see your love's been lost to the night
Since you're living in the shadows
To make it right
Endlessly, lost in the night
'Cos why should you keep on
Paying the price
So sad, you see the scars that cut so deep in me
All your days have turned to nights
Take my hand and walk away
To a place where we can stay
I see your love's been lost to the night
Since you're living in the shadows
To make it right
Endlessly, lost in the night
'Cos why should you keep on
Paying the price
I see your love's been lost to the night
Since you're living in the shadows
To make it right
Endlessly, lost in the night
Why should you keep on
Paying the price
7. On The Loose
Dreamer, oh how she cast the spell
Deceiver, for her he'd live in hell
He would sell his soul and walk into the unknown
Midnight, alone in the ring of stones
Moonlight, always so bright and cold
The deal is made when the moon is full
Oh yeah
When he will change from a man into wolf again
No going back
The deal is made and now he must pay
He's on the loose
He's on the loose
This howling for you
Only
He's on the loose
He's on the loose
Just what will you do?
What will you do?
Desire, oh how she fed the flames
Won't take a share of his nightmare, no no
But she can feel he's waiting there for her
Out in the night
He's on the loose
He's on the loose
This howling for you
Only
He's on the loose
He's on the loose
Just what will you do?
What will you do?
He's on the loose
He's on the loose
This howling for you
Only
He's on the loose
He's on the loose
Just what will you do?
What will you do?
8. Let It Rock On
If you wanna touch the fire
Feel the flames inside of you
You ain't gonna get much higher
Oh, you know just what to do
Heartbeat
We're the power generation
We don't need no wings to fly
You can lose all that frustration
The feeling's never gonna die
Let it rock on
You got it
And let's roll
Don't ask why
Get some rock on
Yes, you got it
This rock is a-rollin' and we'll keep on going all night
Let the power take you over
Let it get into your soul
Hey, you better run for cover
If you're not gonna rock and roll
Heartbeat
'Cos you know there's nothing better
Letting go of reality
Oh, you can escape and enter
A rock and roll fantasy
Let it rock on
You got it
And let's roll
Don't ask why
Get some rock on
Yes, you got it
This rock is a-rollin' and we'll keep on going all night
Rock on
Let it rock on
You got it
And let's roll
Don't ask why
Get some rock on
Yes, you got it
This rock is a-rollin' and we'll keep on going all night
Let it rock on
You got it
And let's roll
Don't ask why
Get some rock on
Yes, you got it
Rock on
9. So They Run
They're on the streets of the big city
They are so young and yet so angry
They hope to achieve the impossible dream
So unaware of the dangers unseen
They're running from the past
How long will ya ever last
So they run!
They wanna break out
In search of better days
Living on the run
So they run!
They wanna break out
All they know is hate
Living on the run, on the run
It's not very long - before they find
Their troubles are not, not left behind
It's a hard fight for survival
And there ain't no rules in our jungle
They're never going back
Live under attack
So they run!
They wanna break out
In search of better days
Living on the run
So they run!
They wanna break out
All they know is hate
Living on the run, on the run
So they run!
They wanna break out
In search of better days
Living on the run
So they run!
They wanna break out
All they know is hate
Living on the run, on the run
They wanna break out
In search of better days
Living on the run
So they run!
They wanna break out
All they know is hate
Living on the run
10. Standing On The Edge Of Time
So you think you got a lot of time
To do the things that you wanna try
But let me tell you, life's too short
So make the most of what you got
You only get one shot
To hit the top
You got so many big dreams
Don't let them slip out of your hands
Take all the chances that you see
You gonna have to take command
Standing on the edge of time
So many dangerous signs
Don't you know it's now or never
Standing on the edge of time
Hey, don't waste your life
Nothing's ever last forever
Don't you slip, it's a long way down
A hit or miss
Don't you mess around, if you wanna do those things
Gonna have to cut the strings
Don't hesitate, no time to waste
You're strapped to the wheel of fortune
Don't know the cards that time will deal
It can be over too soon
'Cos time has got a heart of steel
Standing on the edge of time
So many dangerous signs
Don't you know it's now or never
Standing on the edge of time
Hey, don't waste your life
Nothing's ever last forever
Standing on the edge of time
So many dangerous signs
Don't you know it's now or never
Standing on the edge of time
Hey, don't waste your life
Nothing's ever last forever
Standing on the edge of time
So many dangerous signs
Don't you know it's now or never
Standing on the edge of time
Hey, don't waste your life
Nothing's ever last forever
11. The Warning
I can see the clouds massing
From the east to the west
The four horsemen are riding
It's too late for regrets
The power of persuasion did not work in the end
'Cos they talk with a rifle
All they want is revenge
Will the blood stop falling on the sand
On the holy land
If you listen to the warning
We have to turn the tide
Just listen to the warning
The tide is on the rise
I can see a new desert
There's no place left to hide
We will recover
We will never survive
Will the blood stop falling on the sand
On the holy land
If you listen to the warning
We have to turn the tide
Just listen to the warning
The tide is on the rise
If you listen to the warning
We have to turn the tide
Just listen to the warning
The tide is on the rise
If you listen to the warning
We have to turn the tide
Just listen to the warning
The tide is on the rise
The tide is on the rise
The tide is on the rise
The tide is on the rise
The tide is on the rise
12. Into The Darkness
She was far too young, could have so much fun
Living on past memories
Must track her killer down before he can be free
But that ain't no excuse
Don't go into the darkness
Don't go out of the light
Don't go into the darkness
You're gonna lose your mind
It was suicide
How she took her life
I was suicide
There just ain't no way to bring her back again
But he's blind to everything
Someone's got to pay and that's his reasoning
He will make the mistake
Don't go into the darkness
Don't go out of the light
Don't go into the darkness
You're gonna lose your mind
Don't go into the darkness
Don't go out of the light
Don't go into the darkness
You're gonna lose your mind
Don't go into the darkness
Don't go out of the light
Don't go into the darkness
You're gonna lose your mind
