Mr. Big -"...TSWCT"

Post by poserboy71 »

I just bought the new Mr. Big album, "...The Stories We Could Tell".

Upon first listen, It isn't grabbing any interest from me for future listening.

There are few interesting chord changes, Billy Sheehan's personality is barely ,if ever, present. Paul Gilbert's playing is uninspired and CLUNKY. There isn't really a drop of clever ANYTHING to be had.
It basically has the charm of an Eric Martin solo album---- Good ,BUT NOT Mr. Big GOOD.

There are only about two songs that happen in the middle of the album that are reminiscent of Mr. Big and those songs mirror the vibe of the ,'Hey Man" album instead of the first three albums.

Of course I will give it a few more chances but first instincts usually are correct. I hope it grows on me but I don't recall an album ever doing that.

That's a shame, it's great when a bands new album kicks butt, and a bummer when it doesn't.

I found the new Tesla album boring, and I bought an autographed copy from them.

Couldn't be as bad as the two Kotzen albums? They aren't Mr Big IMO! Even as talented as he is.
Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains! :(

The Winery Dogs album has more of a classic Mr. Big vibe to it.

Used to love this song

Saw them open for Winger in 1990 I think. Winger were good but a touch flat.

An old Racer X tune that they eventually recorded during their reunion:
