Review by Wayne Smith

Thunderchild is the fourth album released by Jeff Wayne, a British composer and musician. The album is a musical adaptation of H.G. Wells' science fiction novel, The War of the Worlds. The album was released in 2007 and features a cast of talented musicians and singers.

The album is a concept album that tells the story of the Martian invasion of Earth. The album features a mix of rock, orchestral, and electronic music, creating a unique and immersive listening experience. The album's standout track is "Thunderchild," which tells the story of the heroic ironclad ship that battles the Martian tripods.

The album's production is top-notch, with crisp and clear instrumentation that showcases the talent of the musicians. The album's concept is well-executed, with each track seamlessly blending into the next to create a cohesive narrative.
