Grade: C
Jeff Schneeweis has returned with his Christian indie-rock band turned solo project, Number One Gun, with its fourth studio album, To the Secrets and Knowledge. But is this album worthy of praise or damnation?
Forever
Based On a True Story
The album closes things out with the true saving grace of the album, a cover of the Journey classic 'Don't Stop Believing.' Even though the song falls short of the Journey original, it's still the most impressive work on the album and is, hands down, the most fun to listen to.
When all is said and done, the album fails to make any kind of lasting impression. The music isn't anything horrible, but it never comes off as its own. To the Secrets and Knowledge is evocative of several other bands' talents instead of its own work. Sorry, Schneeweis – maybe next time.
