    Sounding like a cross between the synthesizer pop of Erasure and the stadium anthems of U2, Big Music could have been released in the late '80s and stayed at the top of the international charts.

    Too much of Big Music seems to be reaching for a gravitas it can't back up with emotional or musical substance. [Dec 2014, p.104]

    The main takeaway from what is at times a feast of class pop, is that Simple Minds are a band re-energised and thus re-invented.
