3.0 goodDeadwing2112 | June 5th 20

The Big Lad in the Windmill is the debut release by heavy on the pop, light on the progressive rock band It Bites. The intelligence of the lyrics and musicianship abilities are equally betrayed by stereotypical 80s production; shellacked to the maximum with heavy in the mix synth keyboards. Calling All the Heroes secured the band a bonafide commercial hit, however All In Red, Screaming On The Beaches and You'll Never Go To Heaven aged better. Francis Dunnery is perfectly acceptable on the main vocals and there are pleasing harmonies intermixed throughout the track list. Perhaps this represents the closest a progressive rock act (even on this furthest outer realm) could be converted into a Broadway musical.
