All fear was fled
In the dead of night you came
Shining light on the pathway ahead
The stones that had weighed me down
Were but crumbling all around
From the shadows we were swiftly sped
I could see the Truth, and at once
We raced from the darkness to light
Leaving a weary world far behind
I could see the truth, and at once
I saw those who waited for me
And free from the perilous realm
I could find peace at last
The storms of life they came
As we made our way toward home
And foes, they rose to strike us down
These are not the Truth, though they threaten
They are soon swallowed by Time
And matter not when the end is come
Oh love of mine, the trial is past
We may dance once more beneath the gaze of Him we sought
For the gate has closed behind us
And we’re gathered home at last!

Fell in love with BBT recently, absolutely love the stories they tell and the music.
Very sad to hear about David’s passing, listening now is quite moving, moved to tears from time to time, but we move on as I hope BBT will with David in our hearts. tonyauroristony58

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

Avec la fin de mon adolescence et de ce fait la fin des années glorieuses du 'prog' jamais je n'aurai cru être de nouveau comblé par cette poésie, cette harmonie et cette musicalité qui sont la quintessence de BBT qui redonne au rock progressif ses lettres de noblesse...Merci Mellotronman
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before?
This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship.
Essential. Crinklechips
