Album Review

Originally conceived of as a double album, and wisely whittled down to one on release, Secret Messages was routine, formulaic Electric Light Orchestra. Lynne's hooks and dense production were still in force, but it sounded more mechanized and heartless than usual, due in part to the surfeit of synthesizers on some tracks. It did include the Top 20 hit "Rock & Roll Is King." [The 2001 CD reissue on Epic/Legacy included three bonus tracks: "After All," the B-side of "Rock & Roll Is King"; "No Way Out," planned for the double-album version of Secret Messages and eventually released on the 1990 Afterglow album; and a previously unreleased version of the Roy Orbison-style "Endless Lies," which was re-recorded for the Balance of Power album.]

Customer Reviews

Excellent!

This is one of those albums you have to listen to over and over just to hear all of whats going on in the music. Jeff is a brilliant producer and song writer who's flair for back-masking makes this a musical journey forward and backwards. Even a casual fan will dig this album. Great songs like Four Little Diamonds", Bluebird", Endless Lies", and "Rock and Roll Is King" to name a few. All I can say is..."Welcome To The Show"

Good Album

This is a very good album for one of elo's later albums way better than that stupid balance of power

First Review
