Album Notes & Community Reviews
Shifting definitively away from complex Latin jazz-fusion, 'Inner Secrets' finds the band leaning aggressively into commercial pop-rock, AOR, and disco-inflected grooves. The pivot included several prominent cover songs, prioritizing radio accessibility and dancefloor appeal over extended instrumental jams.
