Absolutely brilliant. Although I am a guitar man; I love this side of Simple minds, getting back to the creative electronic melodies and sequencing. I love it.
I have been obsessing on this song all week long. Big Music sounds just how I would expect Simple Minds to sound in 2014. Jim Kerr's voice is as clear as ever.
This is just a GORGEOUS track. I've been a SM fan since 1983 and loved the ebbs and flows over the years BUT this track has me VERY excited. I cannot wait. It has a hauntingly amazing sound and the band looks and sounds great!!! This video is stellar too... reminds me of the IN THE ROUND shot Breakfast Club video.
Thank you guys for truly keeping it real and reaffirming the worth of life with some of the most spiritual music still made; you haven't lost your touch. Please come tour the States one last time, we love you here.
Ooh, I like this a lot. Heard the end of it on the radio this afternoon and couldn't tell if it was Bowie or Kerr, but hearing the whole song, it's DEFINITELY Mr Kerr. Brilliant song and a new direction for a terrific live band. Album on the To Buy list!
I love the new sound. So unmistakenly Simple Minds - and still fresh and new. The synth-lines at the start is - well - brilliant. Can't wait to get the new album.
I believe Simple Minds have conquered the task of bringing their subtle strength and elegance to the Arena. Honest Town is filled with the beauty and emotion of the best parts of NGD while sounding confident enough to fill AND MOVE the largest arena or stadium filled with fans. It is simply triumphant!
Simple Minds new album Big Music is a magnificent release that must be listened to from the 1st song to the 18th, to feel the magnitude of the message being delivered...Kudos to Tim Kerr's vocals and Charlie's guitar work!
Pure Simple Minds that's it and amazing once again ! They ARE the very best music band of all times ! I can't wait to receive this new album I pre-ordered like millions here . I know...like a child before Christmas ..
Only listened to a few seconds of this. Absolutely love it. Brilliant rhythm and I know it's gonna be in my head all day tomorrow. Just as catchy as DYFAM. Great job.
I absolutely love the Honest video!!! You all are like fine wine!!! Love the sound, always have since the early 80's!! I'm loving this sound! Love the beautiful Sarah B!!
Liking this new sound and direction very much. Can't wait to hear the new tracks live on next year's tour. Would be good to hear the new songs mixed with rarely heard album tracks from over the years? Bring it on Simple Minds!!
this album is a big piece of magnifence music, simple minds at their best, of course it reminds me my 20 in 80's. My 20 was new wave, we are the sons of Roxy and David and Simples Mind are our brothers!!! 80's was beautiful with this music, girls and boys wanted a beautiful world with européen music as beautiful as a Grec Temple!!!!! Free and a certain idéa of a world....
my god, one of the best albums you ever made, went even to france to see you, because waiting till november was way too long, but can't even wait till then, wish i could go right now !!!!!!!
Really great song guys. Along with Blindfolded, Broken Glass Park and (the beautiful) Blood Diamonds, you're well on form. It's nice to see you have a settled lineup now, with the addition of Catherine, you look and sound like a band again. Well done and keep up the good work. Ironic that alot of your peers are inevitably on the wain, yet you have found a new lease of life. Fresh, emotive and as relevant as ever.
2015 - March - Coming along to see you guys(and girls) tonight at Venue Cymru Llandudno. We will try to get up front again as we did a couple of years back and absorb the great music and atmosphere... Have a good one... Rob and Cathy
Honest Town is a song in the pure tradition, this song could have been recorded at the end of the 80's it would have been logical... Really, I'm amazed at their faithful identity kept through years
SIMPLE MINDS is a great band, this video is a proof that they keep doing very good music. Can not wait for the new album. In their next tour, they have to include Mexico City...please.
OMG!! Loooooooove it!!!! Can´t wait for the release and keeping my fingers crossed for a possible tour in Brazil again! São Paulo gig (2013) was fantastic!
Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill, Mel Gaynor, Andy Gillespie, Ged Grimes, Sarah Brown and I finally 'discovered' Catherine AD...nice melodic and addictive song. Waiting eagerly for the album "Big Music". :-)
Every time Simple Minds release a new record, I feel like I am reconnecting with old friends. We have been friends for a long time now. Thank you SM.

Смотрю, возвращаются ребята к сдержанной лаконичной форме. Мне это по душе. Как, практически, и все сделанное великой группой.
Still a kick ass band, they haven't lost their touch at all. Impressive lyrics, style, and delivery.

Takes me back to when music meant something,good to see there is still good bands out there
When I first heard this I wasn't convinced, but after listening to it a few times I really like it. It's a "grower". Fair play to them.
