BIG SPECIAL's second album, National Average, is a deeply personal reflection on their journey. It captures the band's experiences on the road, offering a glimpse into their evolving world and the human condition at large. With raw sincerity and unvarnished humanity, the stories on National Average resonate far beyond the band's own narrative. The album juxtaposes ambition with introspection, shifting from the swagger and bravado of its first half to the darker, more introspective tones of the second. As lead singer Hicklin explains: "The first half is about ambition, with a hint of vulgarity. The second half is about having to reflect on the magnitude of the changes. You have to be honest with yourself in the face of darkness." With their unique blend of dark humor and emotional depth, BIG SPECIAL creates a powerful journey that will speak to anyone who has ever faced change.
