Fear takes its toll, takes control of the trigger finger
Ego takes hold, can’t leggo, pulls the trigger
Nobody’s in charge, no one to blame
Just a different level of the same
The speeches only reach your ears
Just a bigger megaphone for your
Fear takes its toll, takes control of the trigger finger
Ego takes hold, can’t leggo, pulls the trigger
Your body’s alone with your brain
Cannot resist the need to drain
The swamp that’s leaking out your ears
Just another metaphor for
Your gut reactions and public tantrums
You’re puffin’ up when you should be backin’ down
You can’t relate to the ones that follow you
You risk it all with the words you throw around
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
Hold me down, say goodnight
Tell me softly it’ll be alright
My finger’s shakin’
The fear has taken
Over my hands but
My people understand
Fear takes its toll, takes control of the trigger finger
Ego takes hold, can’t leggo, pulls the trigger
Somebody is not being polite
That same certain someone rules in spite
Of what we all know to be right
Just another bigot with a mic
My gut reaction is to subtract him
Just hit delete and go on my merry way
The less exposure, the less you get closer
I taped your mouth by not hearing what you say

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.

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)
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
