It builds from here........2006-11-06

Looking over the other reviews caused me to think something is missing from the perspective. All the reviewers have different expectations from what I had when I first heard it. Supposedly the Mr.Big foursome were all hard rock demigods, but as a kid I had never heard of Racer X or David Lee Roth--I didn't know who Mr.Big was either! I've learned since then, but my first impression remains. My first impression was their album "Lean Into It."

If that sounds like you too, listen up.

I went back for this album after "Lean Into It" and "Bump Ahead." I couldn't get enough Mr.Big. You might say I was "Addicted to that Rush," and couldn't wait for the next one to come out, so I went in reverse. If you're thinking about buying this now, you're looking at this CD the same way I was.

The meat of this album is in the middle. 3-4-5-6 are what you've come to expect from Mr.Big. Merciless (the hot girl.) Had Enough (end of the line ballad--Eric is amazing!) Blame It... (devilmaycare rock&roll) Take a Walk (signature funky punch--awesome rhythm!)

Other than that, the leadoff song is a GREAT start...so aptly named for kicking off the Mr.Big career. #9 is very Eric Martenesque...an almost too slow ballad, but still hangs in there on a lonely night. Honestly, as much as I love this band, you can flush the rest of the CD.

If you're a fan, stop reading this review and buy the CD--this is not a debate when it costs less than $10!!! Otherwise, do what I did: start with the "train" and the "stoplight." If you're addicted then, come back for this one. You'll appreciate it more after you've acquired the taste.

Great talent, good songs by Mr. Big.......2003-11-15

Mr. Big is a metal band that had the perfect recipe for success, rather than mere failure. Made up of 4 great musicians including vocalist Eric Martin, bassist Billy Sheehan, and axe master Paul Gilbert, this hair band never got quite as "big" as their name. It's a mystery why, because once you hear their songs, you'll think the same thing.

This album consists of some great songs including "Had Enough", a slow rocker with great musicianship overall. The ballad "Anything For You" targets your soul with the right blend of everything. And arguably the best track on this album "How Can You Do What You Do" is a heavy hitter with a great beat, and very similar to their other great song "Shadows" (not on this album). Mr. Big is all about magnificent guitar work, beat, bass, and of course incredible singing from E. Martin, which comes together to form a great array of songs in all their sets.

Mr Big is worth a listen. If you like bands such as Ratt, Def Leppard, Motley Crue etc. You'll love Mr Big.

Didn't really care for it.......2003-11-09

Sorry, I didn't see what the big deal is. Seems sort of dated and second rate. Just personal preference - you may like it & that's ok.

this is it.......2003-06-13

in '89 these guys came out with all guns blazing.a minimal of ballads(2)more chops here than a butcher shop.check out the out solo on "rock and roll over".the last great 80's band.after this they put out too many ballads.the talent here is undeniable.billy sheehan is from david lee roth's band and talas and whatever planet he comes from,they all play bass there.paul gilbert is probably the most underrated guitarists around and played in racer x.

Big enough..........2000-04-17

The expectations were great when the four superstars comprising this group united for their first album,yet they've failed to disappoint, creating something extremely musical,sounding big,a la Van Halen,even striking the right balance between virtuosity and accessibility,without sacrificing either.This first Mr.Big album is probably the heaviest of them all,leaving the listener thirsty for more.
