5.0 out of 5 stars Only Queer is better, March 15, 2004

Kevin (Sweden) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Big Trash (Audio CD)

This CD is really good. It's stayed in my rotation for years. It's the next best Thompson Twins CD (I own or have owned them all). Queer is best and Quick Kick and Side Step would be a distant third. They transformed into Babble after this CD and both Ether and The Stone are up in the same class as Queer and Big Trash.

5.0 out of 5 stars TT- BIG TRASH, August 7, 2004

George (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Big Trash (Audio CD)

THIS IS THE TT ALBUM THAT SHOULD HAVE MADE THE TRANSITION FROM 80'S BAND TO JUST A GREAT BAND. UNFORTUNATLY IT DIDN'T. THERE ARE SOME GREAT SONGS ON HERE. SUCH AS "BOMBERS IN THE SKY" - AND IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY IT CAME OUT DURING THE GULF WAR? BUT I DO REMEMBER HEARING IT IN EVERY CLUB BACK IN '91. ANOTHER GREAT SONG HERE IS "THIS GIRLS ON FIRE"- WHICH I THINK SHOWCASES TOM BAILY'S GREAT VOCALS. "SUGAR DADDY", THE ONLY HIT SINGLE OFF THIS ALBUM IS YOUR BASIC CATCHY QUIRKY TT SONG. TO THIS DAY, I STILL LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM. BOY, DO I MISS THE THOMPSON TWINS.

This is a really fun album. A definite improvement over the Close to the Bone album. There are some really inventive songs on here. My favorite one is Salvador Dali's car. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Appropriately titled
It seems as if "Big Trash" has a cult reputation, and since it wasn't a big hit, the fans of the album are usually longtime fans of the band. Read more

I'll say one thing about these Thompson Twins,they are good at creating mood with manipulating synthesizers to their advantage. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars this one deserves more praise than it gets...
"Big Trash" -- though not the Twins' best work, was a much-improved follow up to the disappointing "Close to the Bone". Read more
