"We recorded everything live," Waterdown bassist
Christian Kruse reveals. Being able to "feed off
each other's energy" gives these thirteen songs a
momentum the Big Studio and Bob Rock couldn't
touch. It's impossible to imagine hardcore as
complex in structure not being wrung from
hundreds of takes and overdubs of ping-pong
guitars (A Fortress), stop/start drumming
(Bulletproof), or the give and take of the two
vocalists on Going Back, but somehow this German
band keeps it as uncluttered as the magnetic tape
on which it was eternized.
