Our Take

Big Big Train's latest offering, "Welcome To The Planet," is a whimsical journey through the outer realms of prog rock. With their signature blend of intricate melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, this album is sure to transport you to another dimension.

Lead singer David Longdon's haunting vocals soar above layers of lush instrumentation, creating a sound that is both ethereal and captivating. The band's musical proficiency is on full display, as they effortlessly transition from delicate acoustic passages to grandiose symphonic crescendos.

Tracks like "The Strangest Times" and "Common Ground" showcase Big Big Train's ability to craft compelling narratives that resonate on a deep emotional level. The album's production is top-notch, with every instrument given room to breathe and shine.

But it's not all serious business on "Welcome To The Planet." The band's quirky sense of humour shines through on tracks like "Made From Sunshine," a jaunty, toe-tapping ode to the power of positivity.

Overall, "Welcome To The Planet" is a must-listen for fans of progressive rock. Big Big Train have crafted a truly unique and captivating album that is sure to leave a lasting impression. So buckle up, dear reader, and prepare for a sonic journey like no other.
