And trust Big Special to invest those stories with wisdom, insight and the most absolute humanity. And these might be their stories, but the lessons speak to us all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd so National Average reflects the world as it is, as Big Special have seen it while grinding around the nation and screaming their poetry at the people. The album also registers how their own lives, their own world has changed, and what that means. With characteristic Big Special flair, the darkness is leavened by more than a ladle-full of the blackest humour. But the upbeats are easily matched by the album's downbeats, the album's emotional shifts more crafted than on the debut. \"The first half of the album is about ambition - you can hear the confidence of it, even a little bit of sleaze,\" says Hicklin. \"The second half is about reflecting on what's happened, how everything's changed. You've got to be honest with the darkness.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTracks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 The Mess\u003cbr\u003e2 God Save the Pony\u003cbr\u003e3 Hug a Bastard\u003cbr\u003e4 Shop Music\u003cbr\u003e5 Pigs Puddin\u003cbr\u003e6 Professionals\u003cbr\u003e7 Get Back Safe\u003cbr\u003e8 Yesboss\u003cbr\u003e9 Domestic Bliss\u003cbr\u003e10 Judas Song\u003cbr\u003e11 The Beast\u003cbr\u003e12 I Once Had a Kestrel\u003cbr\u003e13 Thin Horses\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Big Special","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62526872944970,"sku":"0822166002885","price":9.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/goldenspiraluk.com\/products\/national-average-lp-orange-yellow-vinyl","provider":"Golden Spiral Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
