Customer Reviews

Smoother follow up to Steeltown
This mid-80s album from one of the greatest rock bands of all time is not typical mid-80s radio fodder, though apparently it did get some UK radio play (my perspective is from the US where everyone thinks of BC as one-hit wonders--how sad).

Less hard rock than the awesome Steeltown which precedes it, this is still great rock music with a message.

On this l.p. BC takes on more conventional song writing, but there is a transcendence here that you find in few other commercially successful groups (Style Council, Simple Minds come to mind). Great e-bow work makes you think you hear keyboards when you don't.

More great things from Big Country
After a slight dip in form on the ponderous Steeltown, Big Country are back to their best on The Seer. Like The Crossing, this album moves along briskly, with hardly a pause for breath on the first four tracks. The subject of each song is always fascinating, like the mysterious Eiledon, or the end of war (One Great Thing). And there's always a line or two that really hits the spot - We can stand where legend stands If I walk the hill. Two of the four extra tracks are fancy re-mixes of what has gone earlier... while Song of the South and Giant, an instrumental, are definitely worth including.

Best of the Lot?
This CD has the hits,Look Away,The Teacher and One Great Thing but it also has some excellent tracks like the wonderful Eiledon and The Seer with Kate Bush,in all there`s not a bad track on here. One to buy.
