Nice. 

I've only seen them once, and I'm glad it was with Pat Torpey. Highly underrated drummer.

Yeah its not their best work,hopefully better to come..but they'll never match that magic from years gone

1/10...that is bad. 

[whiplash1972]

I thoroughly enjoyed 2017’s “Defying Gravity “, and was hoping for more of the same. “Good Luck Trying” is, unfortunately, not it. Sure hope there’s a lot better tracks to come…

[CureTheSane]

Defying gravity is amazing.

[whiplash1972]

New track “Up On You”

I like this one muuuuuch better than “Good Luck Trying “ 👍

[lettard]

Now that's much better...enjoyed that  

[Captain Howdy]

My brain is still fried from the whole cancer debacle so my memory is all over the place these days. I was watching that video and at first I was like "Mr Big must be one of the few bands from back in the day that hasn't changed members over the years". Then thought, "hold on, thats not Pat" ... I must have known he passed away 6 years ago, but as I say, Swiss cheese memory means its like finding out things all over again.

Same with Johnny Sollinger.

I really hope I dont have any other shitty surprises coming to me.

New song 'Right Outta Here'.

 

 

[whiplash1972]

Damn, 1 good song out of the 3 tracks released; not boding well for the album. 😕

[whiplash1972]

“As Good as It Gets”

This one doesn’t suck, it’s just thoroughly “meh”. 
 

I guess I’ll toss my copy in the car and give it a few complete spins to see if anything besides “Up On You”  is worth listening to…

[PeterS]

Love this band. So much great output. This isn't a great end album, from my first could of listens. Can't get into it.

Terrible album, didn't realise it was their last. They definitely had and handful of classic tunes sprinkled throughout their career.

What the new album sounds like to me, for over half of it, is a group of well accomplished musicians jamming with the mics on. A couple of songs sound structured and planned (but still bad), but yeah, to me, the other half of the album just sounds like a few dudes jamming and someone leaked the sessions onto the album for release. 

Said it a million times about this band - never going to argue their worth as musicians, but sadly it rarely translated to a good song, for me, when it came to these guys. Thank goodness for the gems amongst it, though. If nothing else, you could make a truly killer 10-15 Best Of album from these guys... and leave it at that.

Listened to this album the other day.

From memory songs 1 and 3 weren't great for me but the others were good on first listen.

Hard to live up to the last album though.
