Jez Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I know not everyone liked 2011's 'What If', but I thought it was a terrific disc, so more of the same please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaMale Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 After "What If", not sure if I even care about hearing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Another of my favorite bands. I'd have to go back and listen to What If again to reminds myself of the songs, which I guess shows how good it is? I'd love to see this band live.

Dead Planet Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 This is one of those bands that I always thought I should love but never got into for some reason....their 1st 2 releases (S/T & Lean Into It) were okay but nothing great.....I have them on cassette somewhere and haven't bothered to pick up cd versions....to each their own I guess....

gener8tr Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I first saw Mr. Big with Hardline in Salem, Oregon sometime around Labor Day 1992 if I remember correctly. I'd never heard either band prior to that evening, and was unaware Schon was in Hardline. Needless to say they both bands kicked MAJOR ass and I've been a fan (of both) ever since. I've fallen off the Mr. Big bandwagon for a while, but I think it's time to get back on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Little Pony KarpetRydOFunk Posted August 4, 2014 My Little Pony Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I thought that cover looked similar to their last, but, after checking, they do not. But wasn't there a band that released an album last year with the same background on their cover? Maybe a Sleaze band? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 The thing with Mr Big is that if you made a 10 song compilation of the 10 best songs of every artist you own, I truly believe Mr Big would be right up the top of the pack with an utterly brilliant 10 songs taken from the span of all their releases. But that said, album for album, their discography is very weak. Every album, though, does have at least 2-3 amazing songs. I expect about the same from the new disc. 2-3 great songs and a banquet of fillers. I hope I'm wrong, and regardless of how many weak songs they record, I will still check out the new disc, which says a lot about when they do get it right (rare as it is).

gener8tr Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Agreed, Geoff, save for LEAN INTO IT... That entire album is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterS Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'd say the first two. I love their first album as well. Second is for sure the stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightrain Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 The first three are very strong I guess, after that, maybe half fillers half killers, but the last album I think is quite strong, probably only 2-3 songs I dislike, well if this is like the previous, I'll be a happy man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stories We Could Tell That is a really bad cover...I prefer the pig from the last one... Im guessing this will have a couple of great songs and a bunch of forgettable stuff just like the last.

melodicrockoz Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I kinda concur with your opinion Geoff. But Mr Big's debut is pretty rockin' & their sophomore is just a brilliant commercial hard rock album back in the day. Since then though, a few good songs mixed with fillers seem to be their formula for an album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacharyamelie Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Andrew over at Melodic Rock.com gives a track by track preview. From reading those previews, I'm going to stay away as far as I can from this one. Words like bluesy, slow/mid-tempo, restrained chorus and 70's groove/blues are used to describe the tracks. In other words the new Mr.Big is a ''70's blues based release chalk full of mid-tempo tracks with groove and restraint choruses.`` Wow that sounds terrible!

Mullethead Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Every album is amazing from this band. All of them...I don't understand how there is a few amazing songs and that's it? I'm not listening to clips of this one but I will buy it for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
