Resumen

Awake es el segundo álbum de estudio de la banda de rock estadounidense Godsmack, lanzado el 31 de octubre de 2000. Incluye la canción "Goin' Down", que apareció por primera vez en la primera grabación de estudio de la banda, All Wound Up. Durante la década de 2000, las canciones "Sick of Life" y "Awake" se utilizaron en los anuncios de reclutamiento "Accelerate Your Life" de la Armada de los Estados Unidos. Grabación La banda optó por convertir un almacén en Haverhill, Massachusetts, en un estudio improvisado, en lugar de usar un estudio más tradicional. Según Sully Erna, la banda simplemente no quería mudarse a ningún estudio lujoso, porque querían mantener la intensidad para escribir y "no alejarse demasiado de lo que somos". Así que se quedaron en los barrios bajos en lugar de mudarse a un lugar lujoso. Erna dice que los resultados se reflejan en el sonido "más duro" de la música; "sin embargo, tiene un filo muy crudo. No está muy pulido", dice. "Pero aún tiene muchos buenos grooves y aún tiene mucho poder."

Notable quotes

“Despondency becomes not the dignity of our cause, nor the character of those who are its supporters. Let us awaken then, and evince a different spirit, — a spirit that shall inspire the people with confidence in themselves and in us, — a spirit that will encourage them to persevere in this glorious struggle, until their rights and liberties shall be established on a rock.”

— Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh), in Never Born, Never Died (2002)
