Our Take

BIG BIG TRAIN's latest offering, "The Likes Of Us," is a whimsical journey through the rolling hills of progressive rock. The band's signature blend of folk-infused melodies and intricate instrumentation is on full display here, creating a lush sonic landscape that is as comforting as a warm cup of tea on a rainy day.

Lead vocalist David Longdon's storytelling ability shines through on tracks like "A Mead Hall in Winter" and "The Passing Widow," painting vivid pictures of times gone by and mythical lands just beyond our reach. The album's more upbeat tracks, such as "Swan Hunter" and "The Transit of Venus Across The Sun," will have you tapping your feet and humming along in no time.

"The Likes Of Us" is a fine addition to BIG BIG TRAIN's already impressive discography, showcasing a band that continues to push the boundaries of the genre while staying true to their roots. So grab your favourite headphones, settle in with a nice spot of tea, and let the music transport you to a world where the likes of us can truly belong.

In conclusion, "The Likes Of Us" is a must-listen for fans of progressive rock looking for a fresh take on a classic sound. BIG BIG TRAIN have once again proven why they are one of the most exciting bands in the genre today. Cheers to that!
