Versus
Secret Swingers
[Teen Beat]
Rating: 7.7
Versus has been rocking the college radio scene since 1992, when they released
their first EP, Let's Electrify! (and electrify, it did). Their debut
full-length, The Stars Are Insane, was no less impressive, receiving critical
acclaim from damn near everyone who reviewed it, and anyone who said otherwise was
just plain wrong.
Now friends, Secret Swingers. A dangerously poppy thrillride through a land
where love truly rules and rock-n-roll will never die. Some of the album's best moments
come with "Ghost Story" and "Angels Rush In," but the true highlight of this stunning
eleven-song masterpiece arrives as a brilliant six minutes of beautifully-strummed chords,
chilling vocal harmony and sincere lyrics called "Jealous." It's the sound of Low on anti-depressants. If that sounds like your cup o' tea, you're simply not going to
regret your purchase of Secret Swingers.
