This is not your father's Big Country. The sound has changededgier, more angular, modern and layered than The Buffalo Skinners or Why the Long Face. Only the occasional hint of the Big Country of old. Much better overall than Why the Long Face. The most consistent album since The Seer. Only criticism: the keyboards and strings are too prominent in the mix. It's often startling when they make their appearances. |

The Blue Heeler tracks [on the limited edition version of Driving to Damascus] are nice, although quite a switch in sound from the previous twelve tracks. Of the two, I prefer "Shattered Cross."
In summary, the boys are back with an album that doesn't stick to the tried-and-true and is willing to take chances. |
