Our Take

Big Big Train's latest album, "A Flare On The Lens," is a charming and whimsical ride through the English countryside of prog rock. The band has been chugging along for years, steadily building a loyal following of hardcore fans who appreciate their melodic tunes and intricate musicianship.

On this album, Big Big Train stays true to their signature sound, with lush harmonies, epic guitar solos, and lyrics that often wax poetic about English history and folklore. It's like taking a musical journey on a steam train through rolling green hills and picturesque villages.

Highlights include the hauntingly beautiful "Theodora in Green and Gold," with its soaring vocals and intricate guitar work, and the epic closer "Far From the Days of Old," which builds to a massive crescendo that will leave you breathless.

While some may find Big Big Train's throwback sound a bit too quaint for their liking, for fans of classic prog rock, "A Flare On The Lens" is a true gem. So hop aboard, sit back, and enjoy the ride – just be sure to keep your arms and legs inside the carriage at all times. All aboard the Big Big Train!
