4.0 out of 5 stars Not Quite a "Secret", November 27, 2002

This review is from: Come Clean (Audio CD)

Indiana-based The Mysteries of Life followed up their amazing Vulgar Boatmen-esque debut album "Keep a Secret" with a sophomore effort, "Come Clean," which is not quite a strong but still has some very fine moments. The Mysteries are a pure guitar pop rockers unfortunately laboring in a era dominated by grunge, boy bands and shock rappers. Nevertheless, few artists are able to produce songwriting hooks so effectively.

The albums high point is "Kiss Me Goodnight," which is a dead ringer for The Vulgar Boatmen. Other standouts include "Let it Slip," "Year Ago Today," and "Tell Me." Though there are not as many standouts as on the debut album, there are no outright clunkers either.

Overall, a strong sophomore effert from an overlooked band that deserves a much wider audience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Come Clean/Mysteries of Lide, June 9, 2001

By

This review is from: Come Clean (Audio CD)

This CD immediately gets your attention! Their unmistakable melodramatic sound is such a fresh change. The songs are well thought out and nicely done. I especially like "Your face betrays you" as it easily relates to everyone that has been there/felt that. Come Clean, the opening and title track is a great opener. This is the type of CD that you would want to put on, open the windows and just take in that lazy sunny weekend. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why on Earth arn't they famous?, March 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Come Clean (Audio CD)

Actually I know why. They're music isn't a fast as some would like it. Even so, Downhill, Tell Me, Let It Slip and Fingerprint are incredibly good. All the songs grow on you after repeated listenings. It is only a matter of time before they break it big.
