User Album Review
Big Tings’ is a change in direction that will likely be divisive amongst fans. There’s no doubt there are some killer songs here, but the focus has shifted more to pop rock and catchier compositions.
Opener and album namesake “Big Tings” sets the tone for the rest of the album. Gone are the distorted guitars and chunky riffs. In their place, we have a bass-heavy track that puts Benji’s vocals hooks to the forefront. It’s quite catchy and would be great for radio play, but it’s far from their best work. It does, however, contain some poignant lyrics, and as much of the rest of the album, they’re more introspective and intimate than previous releases.
It’s a good job that the lyrics and vocals are on top form as they’re very much the main focus for many of the songs. “Broken Glass” is impossible not to get stuck in your head and “Loud and Clear” is a great showcase of Benji’s impressive vocal range.
Personally, I enjoyed it, and I welcome a more diverse set of songs for their live shows, but the reduced metal and reggae influences are palpable. This change may help grow their popularity but only time will tell.
