I had high expectations for this album cause I really enjoyed so much his past effort, but although it has quality songs in it, some NOG's best tracks, there are other important things to point out that ruins the value of the album.
"The Victory" is the perfect start for the album, some experimentation not shown before by NOG, it sets the mood for the rest of the songs and then another great song "Big Machines" is followed, and as it name suggest it sounds very technical and very smooth at the same time. "Forest" is the perfect choice for a single and it maintains but progress what The North Pole Project left off, very inspiring tune.
Then the listener encounters "Noises" and is definitely the most intriguing song of the album, cause is simple but somehow manages to have a level of complexity, "Hey Stranger" gets the attention of the listener but tends to reduce while the song advances until the "Don't erase my life" part which grabs you again until it falls to "The People" an acoustic number, similar to "The Different Ones" from their past album though good, but this time around the moody feel persists with the next track "White Lies" gladly is best than the last track so I there's nothing to complain.
Hey, I almost finished reviewing each song , so far so great, but the bad aspects start here...
An instrumental track "Look to Pass", not bad at all but although it has been said, it goes nowhere and it could have been saved for making another song. And not only that, judging the number of songs and length of the album an instrumental track doesn't help at all, I have already seen this with other albums, for example, the Burden Of A Day's album Oneonethousand (Oceans), luckily this time "Try It" sets the mood again. I personally love this song, almost classic NOG, but then the album finishes with an OK cover of Journey "Don't Stop Believing", again, not bad, but we already tolerated an OK instrumental track and now we have a cover leading us to just 8 excellent songs and two filler songs and in general a very short record.
It's sad because this could have been a great album, but my respects to Jeff Schneeweis cause he produced it, played all the instruments and wrote all the songs once again, just hope that for the next album he takes more time to write songs cause this time around it just doesn't feel complete. Good overall...

Talk about starting the New Year right, Number One Gun has burst into the new decade with an album that is sure to rock your speakers for months to come. Incorporating the best of 90's emo-rock with the ethereal sounds of the 80's via a stellar cover of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing", and melding it into what is perhaps, the defining moment for music development. Shake off the ice and snow kids, this album screams, spring is near, turn it up in anticipation.
"To the Secrets and Knowledge" is best seen as a journey, as each song develops melodically into the next providing a culmination of pop emo rock. TSAK is consistently true to Number One Gun's style, and fans of bands such as Mae, Further Seems Forever and The Juliana Theory would be pleased by the extent and diversity of this album. Only ten tracks long it's another blockbuster for Jeff Schneeweis, the only remaining member of Number One Gun from its day's under Floodgate Records.
Certainly an album worth checking out while we wait for the coming of summer, check it out at Number One Gun's MySpace.
