The soundtrack to The First Knight is a bit like the movie itself. While the Richard Gere/Sean Connery Knights of the Round Table movie was well-produced, it was curiously flat and unengaging. Perhaps it was inevitable that the soundtrack was just as tepid as the film. It goes through the motions, contributing adventure and love themes, but nothing on the disc is particularly inspired or noteworthy. ~ Stephen Thomas ErlewineMelody Maker (8/5/95, p.35) - "...mostly [instrumental scores are] cliched efforts full of sweeping orchestral bits and mediocre string selections....FIRST KNIGHT [is an] exception;...featuring...clarions..."

A timely collision of 21st-century punk rock and 1980s new wave, complete with vintage synthesizer licks, Big City Rock's self-titled debut is a catchy collection of songs that recall early U2, without the messianic overtones--BCR's only objective is to conquer the dance floor. The commercial-sounding "All of the Above" is classic stadium rock with a contemporary twist, and "I Believe in You" is big-box romance, with chiming guitars and a crowd-pleasing chorus. The ready-for-video "Human" is a frantic commentary on modern life that conjures the band's Los Angeles home base, while, harking back to U2, the anthemic "Touch the Horizon" closes the album on a crescendo of hope.
Big City Rock's 2006 full-length LP bears the name Big City Rock, as did their three previous EPs, so there should be little surprise that this major-label debut also shares a bunch of songs from those EPs. Four songs, to be exact, which is nearly half of this ten-song album, but just because these are the same tunes doesn't mean they sound exactly the same. Since their 2004 EP, Big City Rock has added a member and has signed to a major, recording their album with Brian Malouf and Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger; it was mixed by superstar Chris Lord-Alge, best known for his work with Green Day, Bon Jovi, Faith Hill, Alanis Morissette, Stone Temple Pilots, and Savage Garden. In the hands of Malouf, Schlesinger, and Lord-Alge, Big City Rock now has a sound that fits their name: it's absolutely huge and shiny, playing up their new wave and '80s arena rock influences, but sounding modern, particularly in how it pushes the hooks to the front of the mix, whether they're sung or on a guitar or keyboard. Some bands would sound crushed or needlessly inflated when given this kind of treatment, but it fits BCR better than the relatively direct production of their EPs. After all, they make big music, so they need a big soundstage, and they get it here, but it doesn't come across as empty pomp and circumstance, thanks ...
