Big Country is a band that could never be duplicated. That Scottish sound, that sense of pride, the sting of emotional pain.
This is a band that can visit so many different areas in one album. visits all those places. I consider this album to be a more mature version of Big Country. More layers of background vocals, outstanding drumming continues, great guitar work (with that scottish bagpipe sound), the powerful lyrics (check out "Thousand Yard Stare"). is wonderful.
Fresh, tight, flowing. If you like "The Crossing, "Steeltown", and "The Seer", then you'll love "Peace In our Time". Listen to it, jump in the car, put down the top, and just drive. You'll understand. (by Christopher R. Cicatelli)
