No One Can Ever Know is the third release from Scottish band The Twilight Sad. They were one of the most different and exciting Scotttish bands arising from that unforgettable 2006, even though with their debut being released several months later. The next album was the successfully acclaimed Forget the Night Ahead, in which they moved to a more experimental area, and I have to admit I felt a lack of direction in this one. No One Can Ever Know is driven by 80’s and industrial influences, without losing the noise and dark characteristic of their works. You probably will be astonished when listen to “Dead City”, it’s powerful, melodic, has great lyrics and a catchy chorus hard to be forgotten. “Sick” could be misunderstood as a new Radiohead’s song easily, (of course, not so easy, since the singer’s accent is quite notable). I don’t want to be repetitive here, but summarizing this album is really enjoyable from beginning to end, dosing perfectly the atmospheres between the songs. I wasn’t expecting such a great album, but it looks like that The Twilight Sad finally found their sound, and I’m really happy to know that one more band survived healthily through these last six years.
