Steve Smith This is an outstanding album, I hope BBT can carry on after the tragic loss of David Longdon, a very hard act to follow. Peace to all. Favorite track: Brooklands.

texasknight favorite track? No such thing. Beautiful from start to finish. A masterpiece !

Steven Barnett Heard on a podcast and fell in love with this. www.progzilla.com/shows/tales-from-the-tiger-moth/

W John Davidson Another great album full of rich melodies and beautiful instrumentation. I love the stories behind the lyrics.
A great combination of art, craft, emotional warmth and intelligence. Favorite track: Brooklands.

Dogger Dog In case you've been living under a rock, Big Big Train is possibly the fastest growing progressive rock band in existence. Whereas most prog rockers hit us with quality recordings that remain consistent, BBT's ability to improve on each subsequent release is squarely manifested in Folklore, their best album yet. From cover to cover it is concise, energetic, harmonious, and melodic - you absolutely can't go wrong with this release. Favorite track: Folklore.

This album is a dramatic way to say, that a relationship is over, every title has i's own charme, but the title track is superb! Christina's voice reminds me a little bit on Ilse DeLange (Dutch singer) prog-rocks
