Musically, the melody is very catchy and the rhythms section has successfully combined "groove" and rock music elements. The interlude part which features short guitar solo by Ian Antono followed by catchy keyboard solo by Jockie. It's awesome!
Rumah Kita Our Home is a ballad in nature and "slow rock" in style. Again, this song has a catchy melody and very smooth music flows. No wonder, this song has been accepted by people and as a result, it became a major hit at the time of release, after "Kehidupan". The composition is actually quite simple and the lyric represents simplicity in life where people should stay in their homeland no matter how progressing outside world is.
It's an inspiring lyrics, even though the words chosen are quite straight forward. Ian Antono's guitar riffs are quite dominant in the composition, combined with Teddy Sujaya's dazzling drumwork.
This song has become tha band's regular setlist altogether with "Kehidupan" because booth of them can energize the crowd to rock. Even though I personally do not put this song as my favorite, but I think that this song has been excellently composed Donny Fattah and Jockie Soeryoprayogo.
Damai Yang Hilang Peace That Has Gone is a very nice ballad with powerful message delivered through its inspiring lyrics that comment about world politics. The music is mellow and it flows in a very catchy melody that makes listeners get acquainted very fast with the music; especially with the melody. Free translation on some verses include: "Every time I read, I have seen red of blood which serves no purpose.
War has become trade commodity. There has been no such news on welfare and happiness. Remember "Tuan Tanah" of "Cermin" album? Yeah, both songs share the same style in how the choirs are arranged. Of course they are different in melody but the acapella style connect them.
One of key success factors of any God Bless music is the power of choirs from Ahmad Albar lead backed with Ian Antono backing and Donny Fattah backing. Ogut Suping represented how God Bless was sensitive in the progress of youngsters teenagers communication language which had many "slank" or "jargon" created among themselves.
God Bless explores the languages further so that this song's lyrics became very popular to many young men in Indonesia at that time. Suara Kita Our Voice is a great track with an opening Church organ work which reminds me to the work of Rick Wakeman followed wonderfully with a blast of rock music combining bass guitar, powerful drums, guitar and keyboard.
The song then moves in fast tempo with excellent melody and great vocal delivery. Well, this is another track of favorite for me personally. It's so rocking and very uplifting. The interlude part which demonstrates guitar solo followed with vocal choirs, augmented by keyboard work.
Again, it's another track with excellent melody and combined keyboard and guitar work. God Bless has successfully blended groove into its rock composition so that anyone listening to this song would tend to like it.
This song brings forward morale and social message which touches people who serve without their hearts in any profession they do.
Basically, they do it for life. The key strengths of this song are: excellent melody and choruses, great composition, fast tempo and powerful combination of guitar riffs and keyboard work. For most of Indonesian, the key verse of the overall lyrics is basically when Ahmad Albar screams: "Sepinya hidup dalam penjara.. All elements and segments were composed neatly and it's performed flawlessly by the band. I salute God Bless for this great track that has become one of my God Bless favorite tracks!
Of course the two songs are totally different. Bla concludes the album with another excellent message on humanity issue. It deals with the struggle for power whereby people revenge one another to get the power and there is no peace being praised at all.
It's another uplifting message and.. As usual in most of God Bless compositions, this one has excellent melody and rhythm section with keyboard-based nuance.
It flows naturally from one segment to another and to nice chorus until the music is finished excellently. It remarks the end of the album. Conclusion This third album by God Bless has shifted the band's music direction towards hard rock music and dropped the "prog" elements from the music. Never mind, re-orientation of music style is common and many bands have done it.
Sukses single ini dilanjutkan oleh hits berikutnya dari album ini yaitu Rumah Kita. Album ini berhasil mengangkat kembali nama Godblass ke puncak popularitas, sekaligus menjadi motivator bagi banyak kelompok rock yang kemudian muncul pasca sukses God Bless saat itu.
