I was surprised just like you were with that one!!! I actually got excited because it's been so long since I have heard such a great sounding rock cd and the guitar is awesome. I didn't like Secret Society as well, but it does have a few songs I love.
Yeah, I can't even remember how I heard about it, but I remember going to their website just to hear the clips of 3 of the songs over and over again until my disc came in, I was that impressed. A more modern sound with tuned down guitars, but still very much Europe, not apologizing for being MR. Also, the lyrics were great -- there seemed to be a recurring theme of doubting themselves as they try to climb the ladder again, and kinda having a laugh at themselves a bit. I also loved the tribute to Phil Lynott ("Hero"). I should be getting the new one any day now, maybe tomorrow.
I agree completely!!! Hero is one of my favorites! I also love Flames but the whole album overall is just great. And the lyrics are not cheesy at all, that's for sure. You'll like the new one too!
