Our Take

Jeff Wayne's The War of The Worlds is a bombastic, larger-than-life sci-fi epic that takes listeners on a thrilling journey through space and time. With its iconic orchestral score, haunting vocals, and innovative use of synthesizers, this album is a must-listen for any fan of classic rock or science fiction.

Wayne's innovative reimagining of H.G. Wells' classic novel is a true masterpiece of musical storytelling, blending elements of rock, opera, and electronic music to create a truly immersive listening experience. From the haunting opening strains of "The Eve Of The War" to the epic climax of "Epilogue (Part 2)", Wayne's music is filled with emotion, drama, and excitement.

The album's all-star cast of musicians, including Justin Hayward, Richard Burton, and Phil Lynott, bring their own unique talents to the project, adding depth and complexity to the already rich tapestry of sound. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the original novel or simply looking for a mind-blowing musical experience, Jeff Wayne's The War of The Worlds is guaranteed to thrill and delight.

So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and prepare to be transported to a world of alien invasions, steampunk machinery, and epic battles for the fate of humanity. Jeff Wayne's The War of The Worlds is a musical journey like no other, and one that will leave you breathless with excitement and wonder.
