The secret

"Whenever Parsons pushes AOR too hard, the record feels forced - Lou Gramm feels out of his element on "Sometimes," "Requiem" seems stilted -- but fortunately, most of The Secret glides easily, an unexpected revival of Parsons' mellow side".

"Alan Parsons has pulled an ace from his sleeve with `The Secret', all you could want from an album bearing the Alan Parsons name on it".

"The Secret is Alan Parsons first studio album in 15 years. His last album, A Valid Path, was released in 2004. Since then he has toured and released several live albums, and also oversaw the reissue of expanded versions of classic Alan Parsons Project albums. But The Secret is a welcome return and it lives up to expectations. This is one brilliant album".

"Among the artists who were able to pursue productive solo careers after stints with their equally successful groups, Parsons is one of the most memorable and enduring. He belongs there in the pantheon that included the likes of Steve Perry (Journey), Dennis DeYoung (Styx), and Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree). The Secret is definitely another unmissable addition to Parsons' musical works".
