Big Wrec- Ghosts (2014/2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

For six months, the quintet (alongside Ian still guitarists Brian Doherty and Paulo Neta, bassist Dave McMillan and drummer Chuck Keeping) worked on it in the Revolution and Vespa Studios in Toronto. Two other competitors must not be forgotten: In addition to mentor Nick Raskulinecz (including Foo Fighters, Rush, Stone Sour, Black Star Riders), producer Eric Ratz (including Bily Talent, Cancer Bats), who was already part of the Thornley debut as engineer, is an important component.

Soundfully, the album holds some surprises and sounds in gloomy places such as Alice In Chains, goes towards The Who and AC/DC at one or the other chorus and does not shy away from combining The Police with the newer Foo Fighters.

"Canadian grunge rockers Big Wreck broke up after the 2001 album The Pleasure and the Greed, with lead singer and guitarist Ian Thornley forming his own Thornley namesake band and continuing his solo career. A rekindled friendship between Thornley and Big Wreck guitarist Brian Doherty led to Doherty joining the Thornley band, which in turn became the second coming of Big Wreck when everyone concerned went into the studio and recorded 2012's Albatross, which didn't so much change the group's original 1990s Soundgarden-like sound as much as restate it. This second album with the new lineup doesn't bump things too far off that original sound, either, although it does expand things a bit in a slightly more prog rock direction, with some acoustic-based tracks tossed in as well.
