Our Take

BIG BIG TRAIN's latest album, "Ingenious Devices," is a whimsical journey through the realms of prog rock that will have you bobbing your head and scratching your chin in equal measure.

The album kicks off with "The Sixth Extinction," a 17-minute epic that combines intricate time signatures, soaring vocals, and more instrumental layers than you can shake a stick at. It's like a musical puzzle that you can't quite solve, but damn it if you're not going to enjoy trying.

Tracks like "Bravest of All" and "Haymaking" showcase the band's knack for combining nostalgia with innovation, while "Winkie" takes a more experimental turn with its funky rhythms and unexpected twists.

But it's on the epic title track where BIG BIG TRAIN truly shines. Clocking in at over 20 minutes, this masterpiece weaves together symphonic passages, intricate guitar work, and some of the most spine-tingling vocal harmonies this side of Yes. It's a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you simultaneously exhilarated and exhausted.

Overall, "Ingenious Devices" is a testament to BIG BIG TRAIN's skill and creativity. It's an album that demands multiple listens to fully appreciate its depth and complexity. So throw on your headphones, pour yourself a cuppa, and prepare to be transported to a world where prog reigns supreme.
