What's The Story?
Wikipedia describes Big Wreck as "neo-progressive hard rock". Prog rockers and mainstream rockers alike will shudder at Big Wreck being labelled neo-prog, but either group will probably like them. Go figure.
They're from Boston, and this track is from their first (& only successful) release, In Loving Memory Of...
Who's To Blame?
Large gleaming songs the third.
Why ♥ It?
I talked the other day about how Anthrax could write a laid back, muchly unheavy metal tune. Big Wreck writes a song that gets on MuchMusic's annual pop-rock compilation for its general likability & accessibility, but thrashes heavily in a way that Pantera would probably respect. (See, among others, 1:50 & 3:29). It seems especially heavy, since they often pump the noise in after slow, mostly vocal breakdowns. If you've heard Stars by Hum, this song effects in a similar way.
All considered, this song... er... That Song is a solid rock song with a draw for radio types and anti-radio types alike.
