Rock Influence in Secret vs. MY STORY

[*Petit*]

In danger of repeating myself...


I don't think MY STORY had a lot of rock influences at all. Nor did I am...
Basically you could say that there were some rock elements, but there are hardly any rock songs at all. On I am... except for the first and final track perhaps with still alone and perhaps even Never Ever there aren't really any. On MY STORY there were about you, perhaps catcher in the light, humming and you may even count liar. ANd of course GAME.

But to me Secret brings on a totally new and purer rock sound in many of the songs. It's not really comparable to what was "dark themed pop" on the other albums. El guitar is probably th most common instruent used in Jpop (synthed or otherwise) and does not make it rock.

Secret differs from the other albums because there is not any problem to see whu\ich songs qualify as "rock" and not, because they sound a lot purer. 1LOVE untill that day, it was, taskinst are clearly rock sounding. Tracks that also may qualify are Startin' and kiss o kill. These songs don't leave much doubt. And that's the main difference IMO from I am... and MY STORY.

An old rock fan like my father f.ex. does not think of much of the material on MY STORY as rock, but I'm pretty sure He'd (when he hears it) would agree that these tracks on Secret are.
