Amazing Sound,
This review is from: Albatross (Audio CD)
Big Wreck is a band that deserves to have more recognition. Their sound is so unique and they have one of the best voices in modern music. They have true talent. It is unjust that they are relatively unknown. This CD is too awesome, every song is amazing and you owe it to yourselves to listen to it.I can't recommend this more highly. BUY IT! Support good music.

This review is from: Albatross (Audio CD)
Ian Thornley has a truly incredible voice and a reputation for rocking hard. Long time listeners of Big Wreck will be mildly disappointed with Albatross. While the title track stings with their familiar melancoly venom, the remaining songs are lackluster excluding Head Together and Control. While the first tracks intro may put you off thinking of an odd 90s tune,the change brings a strong rock ballad. Control has some radio play and is gaining popularity yet will never live up to the Big Wreck rep. Overall, a half hearted return to their fomer selves but if you love Ian Thornley and band, give it a listen. His vocals alone make it all worth it.

Big Wreck Renews My Faith in Music,
By George R.E. Wacker - Published on Amazon.com
Listening through for the second time. This album not only brings me back to the late 90s and early 2000s, but also makes me excited about MUSIC again. Sure, there are some great bands out there doing great things, but Big Wreck, to me, always seemed like a band that had so much to offer and just didn't connect with the mainstream media for whatever reason. And, whatever, all I care about is that they continue to make records. This album, on one full listen, has already reawakened some latent feelings and emotions that I wasn't sure were still there. I guess what I'm trying to say in all of this is that this album really is a straight up "ROCK" album, but has so much heart and depth that any other bands out there who are trying to emulate this should take more time thinking and less time putting together power chord progressions. Dammit, I really wanted to make this review short. I love this album. Best thing I've listened to in the last six months. Easily.

Simply terrific,
By JA "Audioslave141" - Published on Amazon.com
Big Wreck is an example of a band that does not get the exposure they rightly deserve. Their first two albums were terrific, along with Ian Thornley's two solo efforts. Albatross is a tremendous effort that is hard to categorize. It's easy to say it's rock, but there are quite a few other genre influences in there, in particular there is a delightful `twang' to some of their songs. Ian's voice is sublime on this album. I would recommend listening to the title track, along with "Your Glass Room" to see if this is your cup of tea.
