│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The Swiss hard rock stage shows off inspired ║ │
│║ bands through the years, like KROKUS and more ║ │
│║ recently with GOTTHARD. But here we have a group ║ │
│║ that is rocking around for almost 10 years with ║ │
│║ 5 albums in their resume. CRYSTAL BALL in 1995 ║ │
│║ was called CHERIE PIE and they were a cover ║ │
│║ band; this stage experience gave them the ║ │
│║ courage to begin a very successful rock career. ║ │
│║ We have in our hands the 6th album from the ║ │
│║ Swiss rockers, Secrets, with a mysterious and ║ │
│║ sexy cover (what else do you need?). A naked ║ │
│║ girl holds a crystal ball that is glowing. ║ │
│║ Moondance is the album's opener with the ║ │
│║ atmosphere of pure hard rock, lyrics and ║ │
│║ melodies that stick to your head. Easy listening ║ │
│║ music that makes you feel from love to ║ │
│║ excitement. Mark Sweeney's vocals can bring a ║ │
│║ lot of GOTTHARD's Steve Lee to your mind but ║ │
│║ CRYSTAL BALL's sound leans more to the AOR side ║ │
│║ of hard rock. ║ │
│║ I Will Drag You Down is another great song with ║ │
│║ power and intensity and the usual chords and ║ │
│║ mid-tempo groove that hard rockers use It's Not ║ │
│║ Love is a conclusion that many of us many times ║ │
│║ reached, a song that has some great guitar work ║ │
│║ form Scott Leach. Time Has Come has the same ║ │
│║ guitar playing style as the song Hit Between The ║ │
│║ Eyes from SCORPIONS. The album's self-titled ║ │
│║ song (Secrets) is a little faster than the other ║ │
│║ songs, a nice heavy metal song. ║ │
│║ The production for Secrets is made by Michael ║ │
│║ Bormann, the infamous German singer well known ║ │
│║ from his works with HIGH VOLTAGE, JADED HEART, ║ │
│║ LETTER X, BONFIRE, BLOODBOUND, RAIN and many ║ │
│║ other projects. Back to Secrets, I must say that ║ │
│║ CRYSTAL BALL did a great job from the ║ │
│║ songwriting point of view and just let Bormann ║ │
│║ put together the whole thing. The album closes ║ │
│║ with songs for love, memories, loss and ║ │
│║ generally pain, that is why we love it. Dreaming ║ │
│║ Of You, Destiny, I'll Be Waiting and Face The ║ │
│║ Truth are the songs that can make you feel. ║ │
│║ CRYSTAL BALL are giving the hard rock fans a ║ │
│║ reason to party, to cry and think. You should ║ │
│║ take that chance. ║ │
