No Secrets - reviews
„Die Songs sind raffiniert und eingängig komponiert, haben Groove und Härte, melodische Gesangslinien und spektuläre Chorgesänge in den Refrains. Symphonische Keyboardsounds und Synthesizerklänge machen die recht komplexe Struktur für Symphonic Rock Fans attraktiv.“ Volkmer Mantei , Deutschland
„This first Dorian Opera’s album shows us all the capacities and the creative potential of the group on the musical level with much worked compositions that I have particularly liked the musical quality. A group to follow in the future“ Bea on Metal Heart , Frankreich
„The band can obviously play the hell out of their instruments, and they are quite adept at writing powerful progressive rock songs.“ Peter Pardo on Sea of Tranquility , USA
"Dorian Opera doesn’t disappoint. If you have a taste for classically-influenced progressive metal, you’ll like this album. They really are crackerjack players, all four of them. Oliver Weislogel ’s fluid, melodic guitar solos are a highlight of the album, but there’s lots to admire in Joe Eisenburger’s powerful bass playing, Andrew Roussak ’s tasteful keyboard work , and Harry Reischmann’s energetic but musical drumming. " Gerald Wandio, Dutch Progressive Rock Page
"No secretsby Dorian Opera is a strong debut album that should appeal to lovers of progressive rock as well as classical rock alike. Far superior to most new CD's I have heard this year. For this review I have listened at least ten times to it the past week and most of the tracks still sound fresh. On a scale from one to six stars, this is a five star album to my taste." ArtRock on Magle Intl. Music Forum, Denmark
