Mr. Big - Defying Gravity

[Stefan]

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Haven't listened to the new track, yet, but I'm already excited to see both drummers in one video!

[Darkstone]

Pat's not looking too good, but it's great to see him included in the video.

 

They're obviously really good friends. I guess they've shared a lot over the years, but that can't always guarantee a good lasting relationship.

 

Good on them for supporting their mate.

 

The song isn't too bad either, nothing special, but not too bad.

[simo]

Definitely appreciate and acknowledge the talent in this band and their earlier output, but this new material just isn't for me

[Glen]

Mmmm, pretty boring song imo.

 

Also, is anyone else bored with a million base notes in every song. I have no doubt that Sheehan is a great player, but jeez. Give it a break.

[Geoff]

Let's not beat around the bush. That song is incredibly bad. As in really, really bad. Horrible. I wonder if this album will even have the obligatory one or two good songs on it?!

Doubt it, at least ''What If'' had Undertow on it which was a great single released as the first song. The singles ones from the last 2 records though..... very disappointing

[Mr.AOR]

A cover of a shit song is still that..........shit.

 

+1

Ehh.... Eric looks like he goes to the same gym as Caitlyn Jenner....

More bass wank

Hah. Spot on. He's trying too hard to show his ability the wank the bass.

[AlphaMale]

New songs sound very bad. I was a fan of the first two discs but they kinda lost me after that.

[Nightrain]

The first song is a so-so track, probably a 7/10 and sounded like a jam song,

the second one is worse, not lookin' too good based on these two songs

 

i guess they need to stop over-experimenting the technical side and just stick more to the commercial root and throw a splendid 3 ballads and everything should be good

[Geoff]

I wonder why they're so bent on recording shit songs, when the only success they ever had was based on (mostly) good songs... oh, and 'To be with you.'

[Stefan]

[simo]

Started out weak (as expected) but surprisingly when the chorus kicks in it's quite good

[AlphaMale]

CRAP

[Nightrain]

Overall, a poor album and a step down from the previous. I can still make a decent compilation of 12 songs from the last three albums but man they really need to revamp the whole writing process if they ever want to quit this game with heads held up high.

 

Excellent musicianship, but damped with some dreadful songs

[Stefan]

[AlphaMale]

Just flatout awful. What happened to the Mr. Big from the first few discs?

[Mr. M]

Gone. And it's too bad. Lean Into It is a great record

[PeterS]

A couple of songs I really really like. Forever and Back , 1992, Mean to me all catchy. Couple of others OK.

Then there's 'Be Kind'. Why , oh why, do they put dross like this out?

I just picked this one up last week and have listened a couple of times.

I've never been a massive Mr.Big fan, just your average run of the mill fan who likes some of the songs, but I've never gone out and desperately waited on a new album.

Never even made a best of mix of their stuff.

 

So I went in with a pretty open mind, and I really like it.

Good light rock with lots of hooks and melodies.

Well produced, voice sounds good.

 

Sad that everyone here except Peter seems to hate it.

I wonder if everyone listened to the whole album, or just a few posted songs?

1992 is one of the worse songs on the disc for me.
