    The first Eclipse album was a big favourite among our staff, and I believe that this one will be just as well. The band hasn't drastically changed their sound, although one could argue that this album is even more contemporary sounding.There's been a few albums that have been hailed as the "bridge" between 80'ies hard rock and modern rock, and I would say that "Second To None" is another good attempt to do just that. Take opener "Always Standing" for example: hard hitting riffs that remind me of a more hard rocking Metallica mixed with a strong AOR chorus. "All I Do" and "Second To None" are more traditional melodic rock, both excellent songs with big hooks. "Streets Of Gold" is again a bit heavier, European styled hard rock in the vein of the most melodic songs of Pink Cream 69.I can't really get a grip of the ballad "I'll Ask Of You", but "Nothing Between Us" does leave a more lasting impression, with its' crunchy guitars, a cool bridge and a very Kelly Hansen-like performance from Erik Mårtensson. "Road To Forever" is basic AOR, nice enough but somewhat bland perhaps. "Body And Soul" follows the formula of the opening track, combining heavy rocking verses with an AOR styled chorus, although the song doesn't work quite as well. The highlight of the second half of the album is "Light Of Day", blessed with a killer chorus. That's something which "Season Of Life" could've used, as it now doesn't quite make the grade. The closing track "Better World" takes us all the way to the seventies, ending the album with a "classic rock" vibe. This ballad reminds me of such rock radio staples as "Stairway to Heaven" and "Dust In The Wind"…

    I may still rate the debut a bit higher, but this is by no means a disappointment. The production is very good, and if the whole album had been as good as the four first songs, we'd have "the album of the year" title spoken for! A safe purchase for the fans of the debut album, and worth checking out for everyone else into melodic hard rock.
