BIG BIG TRAIN - English Electric (Part One)

"English Electric (Part One)" by BIG BIG TRAIN is a magnificent work of art that encompasses a wide range of genres and styles. The album, which is the first in the band's "English Electric" double LP series, showcases the band's exceptional musicianship and songwriting abilities.

From the opening track, "The First Rebreather," it's evident that BIG BIG TRAIN is a band that doesn't shy away from experimentation. The song starts off with a gentle acoustic guitar melody, and as it progresses, layers of instruments and vocals are added, creating a rich and complex texture. The arrangement is intricate and well-crafted, and the interplay between the instruments is captivating. One of the standout features of this track is the vocal harmonies, which are lush and impeccably executed.

Another highlight of the album is the song "Uncle Jack." The track starts off with a propulsive rhythm section and features some exhilarating guitar work. The melody is catchy and memorable, and the lyrics are poignant and introspective. The vocal delivery is passionate and emotive, and the harmonies are again exceptional.

Overall, "English Electric (Part One)" is a meticulously crafted album that rewards repeated listens. The songs are intricately arranged, and the musicianship is top-notch. The album also showcases BIG BIG TRAIN's talent for writing compelling and thought-provoking lyrics. While some listeners may find the songs on this album challenging or difficult, I think the rewards of immersing oneself in this music are well worth it. In my opinion, "English Electric (Part One)" is a masterpiece of modern progressive rock.
