IMO, by keeping the name Big Country, they're saying that Stuart Adamson is replaceable. I'm sure the guys in the band would argue that they're actually honoring him. OK, fine. But watching that live video of Mike Peters wearing the Big Country t-shirt on stage just didn't sit right with me. I like Peters just fine, but he's no Stuart Adamson. Admittedly, my feelings on this matter are affected by my opinion that Adamson was one of the premier talents in all of "pop" music...ever.
I would prefer that they go by a different name, especially since they're writing and recording new songs w/ Peters. However, since I wasn't consulted on the matter, I suppose they can do whatever they want. :)
BTW, the new song isn't bad. Anytime we can hear those guys play and sing is usually a good thing since they're such good players.
