Big Country: The Seer

MORE "BIG MUSIC". More heroics. Another call-to-arms for the down to earth drummers who landscape their adolescence via Bono, Jim Kerr, Mike Scott and Stuart Adamson. I guess it's easy to be cynical about this mock-heroic music, this big bottomless bluster but, of all that ilk, I'll take Big Country hands down – this tried and tested formula anyday, over U2's disgusting evangelical blather. But formula it is, as contrived and as convincing as, say, Status Quo, if a tad more more evocative.
