Album Notes
Mr. Big: Eric Martin (vocals); Paul Gilbert (guitar); Billy Sheehan (bass); Pat Torpey (drums).Mr. Big abandons the virtuoso guitar and bass of Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan for the majority of Lean Into It, and the result is a big, shiny mainstream rock album. It also translated into chart success with the hit campfire-singalong ballad "To Be With You." Elsewhere, Mr. Big provides some tracks to satisfy the new fans, along with plenty of head-spinning solos from Gilbert and Sheehan to satisfy their old audience. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

A very stout 2nd release by a great band

Created: 30/08/09
This sophomore release from Mr. Big is a very well written, lyrically and musically stout cd. There simply isn't a bad song on this. I happen to like the debut self titled one from 1989 (also see my review of it) just a bit better, but its a toss up on which one is actually better. I remember when this came out, I and a lot of other friends of mine thought that this band was really gonna be big. Too bad they really didn't put a bunch of stuff out over the years since, but what music they did make together is absolutely classic rock n roll. Also, if your curious, Paul Gilbert has done some great work over the years with Dream Theater's drummer Mike Portnoy on great covers side projects like "Hammer of the Gods" (Zep covers), "Amazing Journey" (The Who covers), "Yellow Matter Custard" (Beatles covers) & the awesome "Cygnus & The Seamonsters" (Rush covers). Check em out, you'll be amazed, Paul Gilbert's guitar work is amazing indeed!

I think of all the Mr. Big Cd's, this one is the best!! Billy Sheenen bass, Eric Martin's voice,And the rest of the band are real tight. I just bought the Mr. Big-Live in SanFransisco Video, and most of it is from the first CD(This one)and it totally rocks!!

Mr. Big's Biggest

Created: 05/04/08
This is one of Paul Gilberts best efforts, IMHO, flawless metal riffs set seamlessly into ballad-like tunes disguised as love songs ! ! ! I bought this record because I'm a guitar player, and as such, I like to find great musicianship. Once again, Gilbert makes me wonder why I even try to cop his licks.....He's always on fire.

Mr. Big-Lean Into It

Created: 02/12/08
This is Mr. Big's second cd and is the best one, comercially, that they have released. I like it more han most of the other ones that they have released too though. The first one titled just "Mr. Big" has some really good songs that this one does not have, but this one also has some good songs that the other one doesn't have. This cd has the most popular song, comercially that they have done titled "To Be With You". The whole cd is excellent though, with a very good guitarist with a Steve Vai type of feel to him. If you want any Mr. Big cd, this is one of the first ones that you should get.

had it & lost it

Created: 06/02/07
this is a cd I had for years, but it got misplaced. I know the bass player from playing around the Buffalo area in my youth & I missed the cd. I cranked it when I got it!
The seller was great.
