Turn Your Head To This One

by PacManY2J PacManY2J is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 09 '02
Pros: Great range from dark to heavy
Cons: Some ridiculous lyrics
Live’s sophomore effort, Throwing Copper was a brilliant and highly successful album, which contains some of the biggest hits of the 㣾s. How in the world could their next album repeat that level of success?

Well, it...

Speaking of Lakini's Juice...

by flamepillar Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Mar 02 '05
Pros: Interesting variety, funny lyrics
Cons: Not everyone will "get" it
MTV News was nearly lost in translation the day they had to stop and define two words, "Samadhi" and "Lakini",just to introduce the immensely anticipated follow-up to a certain Throwing Copper, which just so happens to be an album that kicks ten ...

Secret Samadhi: Foolish Fakery and Other Fabulously Funny Flubs

by lambchops, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jan 28 '05
Pros: Two good songs, one okay song...
Cons: A whole bunch of junk...
After releasing what turned out to be an incredibly popular album that contained no fewer than five hit singles, Live was doomed to not live up to expectation. They’d proven themselves to be among some of the most interesting rock bands in the early ...

U2, Bodhisattva? All Aboard Live's Magical MysticTour

by kcfoxy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Feb 05 '04
Pros: Strong musical talent throughout.
Cons: A few goofy lyrics, (band trademark).
A while back I was turned onto a tight, muscular alt-rock album with underpinnings of spiritual angst, Throwing Copper, an incredibly powerful sophomore effort from a quartet of dudes called Live, (rhymes with jive). The album under ...

Did you too have to search by key words “live” and “secret”?

by foxy_shy , Sep 24 '04
Pros: Anthemic, rockin’ and catchy
Cons: Ed Kowalczuk’s lyrics are abysmal
You probably all know that little song I alone, from “Throwing copper”. A masterpiece, isn’t it? Ever since I heard it Live have been on my wishlist. But for some reason it was not until two weeks ago that I finally bought an album by ...

"Secret Samadhi" turns my head

by ninelives353 , Jul 13 '03
Pros: Strong and powerful riffs, terrific vocals, distinct and vibrant production.
Cons: Lyrics are very obscure.
Live were kept busy by the success of "Throwing Copper" in the mid-ninties, but as with their leap f ...

No Secret about it, this is Live's best album.

by jeff_wilder78 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 27 '02
Pros: Works better as an album than Throwing Copper.
Cons: 2 clunkers, some questionable lyrics.
All right, I know that some hardcore Live fans will be coming to chop my head off for saying this. But Secret Samadhi is Live's best overall album. I remember making this statement to some friends a few years ago and they were like: "what the hell...

Live's Secret Juice

by siamesemuzzle , Jan 13 '04
Pros: some gems, good concept
Cons: filler tracks, last good live album
I'm a big fan of Live because I grew up in the same area as they did, Lancaster PA. Their more new stuff is questionable, but I love their first three albums. Most people think This is their sophomore release, but it's actually the third release of Live, ...

Live's misunderstood secret

by Mordred , Jun 12 '01
Pros: A dark and powerful opus from Live.
Cons: Paying to much attention to the lyrics may induce headaches.
Live's third album Secret Samadhi is in my opinion, the band's finest hour. Most people probably wouldn't agree with me (particularly my falling-placenta enamored colleagues) but trust me, I have my reasons.

Secret Samadhi is an...

Live, Love and Spirit Part 3: A less than secret, sharpened blade

by blackstar40 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 27 '05
Pros: A harder, more solid album that notes a progression into bubbling semi-rage
Cons: Those looking for any content change will be disappointed
After experiencing worldwide success, Pennsylvania's Live pushed themselves further to record, for their third release Secret Samadhi, a slick epic adopting the instrumental principles of hard-rock bands flooding the scene at the time, but keeping the ...

Live's Best Kept Secret

by MattA75 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Aug 27 '00
Pros: Different, Dark, great musically
Cons: I'm not so sure Turn My Head, as good of a song as it is, belongs here, the lyrics are questionable on a couple of tracks (Freaks etc)
When +Live+ broke through in 1994 and 1995 on the strength of such radio friendly staples such as I Alone and Lightning Crashes, many fans, myself included, could not wait for the follow up to the album that featured those songs,...

We came to love you all day.

by Deckland , Dec 30 '00
Pros: Darken up those summer days
Cons: None
Secret Samadhi is an album of awesomely powerful music and lyrics. There third album, and a natural progression from the lighter, breezier Throwing Copper, Secret Samadhi is as good in it's tainted darkness as Throwing Copper is in it's innocent...

Lives' "Secret" Jewel

by throwingcopper , Jan 04 '01
Pros: Raw, original, heavy rock, inspiring
Cons: First-draft lyrics, different
In 1994, Live broke into the post-grudge alternative rock scene with a crash as strong as lightening... or at least a song so entitled. "Lightening Crashes" was the band's mega-hit off of the bands second album, Throwing Copper, that lead to...

Experimental, but phenomenally written

by mtortorich , Jan 17 '02
Pros: A little different, but a welcomed change to a darker side.
Cons: Not as critically acclaimed as other Live albums.

Secret Samadhi, released in 1997, following Throwing Copper, is dark album in more ways than one. Coming off of such a massively successful sophomore effort, expectations were high for Secret Samadhi. Not only is the disk and insert design...

There's a reason why this is a Secret...

by babbzey , Apr 04 '00
Pros: emotionally charged music, great vocals, original music
Cons: some songs sound rushed, some filler, if you don't really like Live, you won't like Samahdi
"Secret Samahdi" is Live's third album and follow up to the hit album "Throwing Copper". This CD despite the second albums success, remained somewhat of a secret to the general public. The songs "Lakini's Juice", and...
