│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Remember the Spanish AOR band 91 Suite? Jes·s ║ │
│║ Espφn (vocals) and Ivßn Gonzßlez (guitar) have ║ │
│║ ended their long hiatus and formed a new melodic ║ │
│║ rock band called Secret. Their rather ║ │
│║ pessimistically titled debut album öThe End Of ║ │
│║ The Roadö has been getting some serious spinning ║ │
│║ in our household lately, and I guess itÆs safe ║ │
│║ to say that it wonÆt be the end of the road for ║ │
│║ these guys. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Fans of 91 Suite should pick this up, because ║ │
│║ the musical style of Secret is quite similar. ║ │
│║ There are a couple of interesting twists and ║ │
│║ turns though. LetÆs go thru the tracks one by ║ │
│║ one. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Opener öHere With Meö made me think that Secret ║ │
│║ might be a completely different animal to 91 ║ │
│║ Suite. ItÆs an uptempo, hard rocking track that ║ │
│║ reminds me of a mix of Winger, Extreme and Van ║ │
│║ Halen. Guitarist Ivßn Gonzßlez is on fire and ║ │
│║ throws in some serious axemanship, yet the song ║ │
│║ doesnÆt turn into a shredfest. ThereÆs plenty of ║ │
│║ melody and hooks in it. ItÆs one of my ║ │
│║ favorites. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ öSince I Fell For Youö is a more AOR-type of a ║ │
│║ song and very good at that, very Journeyesque. ║ │
│║ öJust To Hear You Sayö is an AOR song too, but ║ │
│║ there are some country elements in it, kinda ║ │
│║ like a warning of whatÆs to comeà ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ öGive Up The Fightö starts with a heavy riff, as ║ │
│║ if to wash away the taste of country guitars of ║ │
│║ the previous song. It also features Nick Workman ║ │
│║ of Vega on guest vocals. A good one. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The ballad öTrust In Someoneö sounds like an ║ │
│║ Aerosmith ballad from the nineties, not that ║ │
│║ special for me but good if you like that kind of ║ │
│║ stuff. öI Believe In Loveö is a decent AOR song, ║ │
│║ but maybe a little öAOR by numbersö. öWhen You ║ │
│║ Really Love Someoneö is probably the most ║ │
│║ öshockingö song on the album, as the country ║ │
│║ elements are pushed to the foreground. ItÆs ║ │
│║ basically an ok song, but with the slide guitars ║ │
│║ and a sugary chorus it kind of sticks out like ║ │
│║ an abandoned stetson in a cactus. And the guitar ║ │
│║ soloà way too hillbilly for me. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ öPeace Of Mindö more than makes up for the ║ │
│║ country assault. ItÆs a killer AOR track with ║ │
│║ touches of early Bon Jovi and possibly my ║ │
│║ favorite track of the album. öWherever You Goö ║ │
│║ is a decent ballad, while öOut Of My Lifeö is ║ │
│║ another AOR gem with cool keyboards and a late ║ │
│║ eightiesÆ vibe. öBring You Downö has more of a ║ │
│║ modern rock style with a slower chorus than the ║ │
│║ verses - something that hardly ever works for ║ │
│║ me. The album closing track öAngelineö is a ║ │
│║ ballad that reminds me of Stryper at first, but ║ │
│║ then turns into something different. Stylish ║ │
│║ guitars from Gonzßlez again. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ So thereà itÆs not the end of the road, but ║ │
│║ maybe the band is at a crossroads. Should they ║ │
│║ explore the more countryÆish direction or stick ║ │
│║ to AOR, or maybe go for a harder sound ß la ║ │
│║ öHere With Meö? The country road could be the ║ │
│║ most lucrative, but for completely selfish ║ │
│║ reasons I hope they donÆt choose thatà IÆd be ║ │
│║ happy with a mix of AOR and harder edged stuff. ║ │
│║ Even a little bit of that country stuff will do, ║ │
│║ as long as they donÆt start rapping! ║ │
