Their Best work. 7 Jan 2002
Format: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.

Nice to see 2 Mar 2004
Format: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

Priceless Memories 25 Aug 2004
Format: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.

Dark and lyrical
For their second album, Big Country took a heavier direction, both in terms of sound and in lyrical content. Read more

Steely melting pot melts dense dull and flat! Sad and surprising 2nd...
I love Big Country, but if ever a great band fell victim to 'rushed, uninspired 2nd album' syndrome this is it. Read more
