Sobre el álbum
Este álbum de 2006 es la consolidación del nuevo sonido de la banda y una obra clave en la discografía de Europe de su segunda etapa. 'Secret Society' profundiza en el hard rock moderno y contundente que ya habían explorado en su disco de regreso. Es uno de sus trabajos más potentes y con una producción más contemporánea.
La producción del álbum, a cargo de la propia banda, es impecable. El sonido es pesado, con guitarras afinadas en registros graves y una sección rítmica de una precisión arrolladora. La música se aleja definitivamente de su pasado más comercial.
Además, las composiciones de Europe muestran una gran madurez, con estructuras más complejas y letras que exploran temas más oscuros e introspectivos. La canción "Always the Pretenders" es un ejemplo perfecto de esta nueva etapa, un tema de rock épico y lleno de fuerza.
'Secret Society' es un trabajo que reafirma a Europe como una banda de rock del presente, no del pasado. Es el sonido de un grupo que ha encontrado una nueva identidad y que lo hace con una calidad y una convicción extraordinarias.

Letra
Running against the line against the time. Wondering what the fuzz is all about. Finding a way to dream away your love. Taking it in before it takes me out. Just like a Secret Society - Always The Pretenders3:54
Letra
Maybe we forced the deal, delivered some kind of blow Maybe we broke the seal, cracks began to show Maybe we crossed the line, got everything off the ground Maybe we lit the fuse, a habit hard to lose All I can remember, all I can recall is you Telling me there's been an accident Always the pretenders, always thought that love would do Every day I miss your innocence Maybe we ran the lights, somehow we caused the scene Maybe we learned to fight, as part of a routine Maybe we jumped the wall, suddenly tipped the scale Maybe we tried too hard, so afraid to fail All I can remember, all I can recall is you Telling me there's been an accident Always the pretenders, always thought that love would do Every day I miss your innocence Something's lost, for what it's worth You and me, this is our church There is still some love 'round here All I can remember, all I can recall is you Telling me there's been an accident Always the pretenders, always thought that love would do Every day I miss your innocence - Love Is Not The Enemy4:17
Letra
It's glowing on the outside Coming by the moonlight Looking at this blue thing Falling by the waste time The years keep on calling Riding on a moonbeam Having on a daydream Crash the barricades, raise the alarm We've forgotten how to feel Break the silence, shout it out Call the angels there's a friend in need Love is not the enemy Love is not the enemy Looking at the bright side Walking in the sunshine Loving this blue thing Want it in my life The years keep on calling We headed for Venus No sign of life Crash the barricades, don't be afraid We've forgotten how to feel Break the silence, shout it out Call the angels there's a friend in need Love is not the enemy Love is not the enemy Oh, can you feel it? Does anybody care? Oh, do you need it? Say a little prayer Oh, can you feel it? Does anybody care? Oh, do you need it? Say a little prayer Crash the barricades, raise the alarm We've forgotten how to feel Break the silence, shout it out Call the angels there's a friend in need, oh Break the silence, shout it out Call the angels there's a friend in need Love is not the enemy Love is not the enemy Oh, can you feel it? Does anybody care? Oh, do you need it? Say a little prayer Oh, can you feel it? Does anybody care? Oh, do you need it? Say a little prayer - Wish I Could Believe3:34

Letra
My mother would tell me Better stay in line You gotta look for the magic If there's a way there comes a time My dad used to tell me You gotta work real hard Keep it straight and simple From the head, then the heart If you'd ask my brother I know what he'd say Let the children play It's not where we're coming from It's how we turn from here We know where we want to go We just need a line to get us there My sister would show me To land on your feet You gotta suffer fools Before you get the life and need So God would you tell me Is there another way? Let the children play It's not where we're coming from It's how we turn from here We know where we want to go We just need the line to get us there My mother would tell me Better stay in line You gotta look for the magic If there's a way there comes a time It's not where we're coming from It's how we turn from here We know where we want to go We just need the line It's not where we're coming from It's how we turn from here We know where we want to go We just need the line to get us there - Human After All4:13
Letra
Live, baby life is loud We'll make it through the filth and the glory Give, more of what you've got Funk it up and tell your story For every dream that got away We found our ordinary day For every blue sky turning gray We found imaginary ways I look at you and where we are We're human after all Time, there's no remedy Just hold our broken hearts together Your touch, all that chemistry Now I'm lost, unlikely defender For every dream that got away We found our ordinary day For every blue sky turning gray We found imaginary ways I look at you and where we are We're human after all It's alright, when the day is done It's alright, there's something better It's alright, when the morning comes It's alright, there's nothing better For every dream that got away We found our ordinary day For every blue sky turning gray We found imaginary ways I look at you and where we are We're human after all - The Getaway Plan3:52
Letra
Hey, I'm the voice in your head A friend that you once left for dead I've been busy, did you miss me? No, you're not paranoid, I'm back to fill the void I think you understand, I'm the getaway plan The getaway plan I'm the shiver that runs up your spine A strange kinda piece of your mind You've been lonely, I'm the only I know your damaged goods You did the best you could I think you understand, I'm the getaway plan The getaway plan, the getaway plan Can you feel me? Can you reach me? I've lived a thousand lives, feels like I've just arrived I think you understand, I'm the getaway plan The getaway plan, the getaway plan - A Mothers Son
- Forever Traveling4:12
Letra
A voice that fly is broken just the same You spin this life around You bring me where some heart and soul remain From a cold cold place in time (and you sing) I just know how you make me feel You take it all the way You send me all the way Oh I just know where I want to be Forever wandering forever traveling A voice that cry but I'm smiling just the same You show me where to look Just skin and bones just circling the sun One glimpse was all it took (and you sang) I just know how you make me feel You take it all the way You send me all the way Oh I just know where I want to be Forever wandering forever traveling Somewhere in my mind I'm under the golden gate Somewhere in my heart I'm in the city by the bay Sometimes I can feel the wheel in the sky it's still turning - Brave And Beautiful Soul3:46
Letra
Well, here's to you all cynical Here's the ammunition that you need Here's another song about empathy Please yourself, think what you will In her light that shines I fall apart (Fall apart) Her life is blessed and I don't understand Her brave and beautiful soul (Brave and beautiful soul) Here's to you all sensible Never taking time to stand for something Hey, the future always come 'round here too soon I just can't leave here doing nothing In her light that shines I fall apart (Fall apart) In her darkness how she wins my heart Her brave and beautiful soul (Brave and beautiful soul) An emotional response Sometimes better than an intellectual one In her light that shines I fall apart (Fall apart) Her life is blessed and I don't understand Her brave and beautiful soul (Brave and beautiful soul) - Devil Sings The Blues5:22
Letra
Today, I'm the dirt beneath your feet At your beckon call Today, I'm down on my bended knees I learn to crawl Days like these It's like I never lived at all And my heart is open and my eyes are open Today, I give my life to you And my arms are open and my faith is open Today, the Devil sings the blues Tonight, angels' presence fill the room So, this is how it feels Tonight, the Devil takes the long way round There will be no deal Times like these It's like I never lived at all And my heart is open and my eyes are open Tonight, I give my life to you And my arms are open and my faith is open Tonight, the Devil sings the blues And my heart is open and my eyes are open Tonight, I give my life to you And my arms are open and my faith is open Tonight, the Devil sings the blues
