5.0 out of 5 stars Their Best work., 7 Jan 2002

thief@darkproject.freeserve.co.uk (Notts, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Steeltown (Audio CD)

This was by far and away 'Big Country's' best album. It sold well but should have been absolutely massive. In fact this group never did get the recognition they deserved.
Since learning of the untimely death of Stuart Adamson, I have been listening to their music more than ever and realise that GREAT music never sounds dated.
Steeltown - Superb!
RIP stuart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice to see, 2 Mar 2004

Broonster (Milano, Italy) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Steeltown (Audio CD)

I remember loving this album when it first came out and being disappointed by the relatively poor reception it got from the music press at the time.

Where the Rose is Sown is a truly great song. Just can't understand people who think it was one of the weakest BC singles

5.0 out of 5 stars Priceless Memories, 25 Aug 2004

Phil Payne - See all my reviews

This review is from: Steel Town (Audio CD)

I decided to refresh my old Big Country collection from vinyl and (showing my age now) pre-recorded cassette onto CD following Stuart Adamsons death and find Steeltown still an amazing album to listen too. I first saw Big Country live 20 years ago on the Steeltown tour at Wembley arena and this album brings back some great memories, buy it and hear some great guitar music.
