Jun 6, 2012For all its ambition and poetry, Big Station is consistently great fun. The songwriting and recording employed here take Escovedo's populist and sophisticated art to a whole new level.
-
Jun 6, 2012A lean rock record [imbued] with import beyond the sting of the smart, seething tracks.
-
Jun 6, 2012Escovedo's growing confidence as a band leader and especially as a vocalist has never been more apparent.

Jun 6, 2012For the most part, Big Station takes its cues from the catchier, zippier sides of R&B and new wave, to the extent that at times it sounds as tossed-off and frivolous as the train noises Escovedo makes on the title track.

Jul 16, 2012If the songs don't always transcend their references, they rarely feel less than lived.

Jun 15, 2012As good as Escovedo is with these anthemic declarations of rock and roll power, he is just as good as a solitary confessional figure or ace storyteller and these are areas that his recent releases could use a bit more of.
