Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Their best album!!!!
I remember first hearing about Paul Gilbert from a friend of mine way back in 1988 who had just been selected to attend GIT. Paul Gilbert was one of their prodigies and my friend Mike was anxious to get out there and make his mark. I remember hearing Mr Big for the first time on MTV's Hard 30 for all you metalheads out there and they ROCKED!!! Addicted to that rush was so much different from anything anybody was doing at the time except maybe for Damn Yankees, but those guys were already established musicians. Anyway I digress, Bump Ahead really showed me that these guys were more than just a flash in the pan. Sure "To Be With You" was a mega-hit, but Lean Into It had so much more going for it, especially the underrated "Voodoo Kiss" and "Green Tinted Sixties Mind". O especially loved the liner note on that one where the question was asked have you ever noticed how movies from the 60's have a greenish tint to them?

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Underrated--album and band
The problem with pop music--even when it comes to quality bands like this one--is that artists get defined by one big hit song. For Mr. Big, it was the ballad "To Be With You" off their previous album to this one. While that is a great song and album, this effort is about equally as good. The band stayed true to their sound while adding a few nice twists.

This band is not just a ballad band. Take the opening track on the album, the hard-rocking "Colorado Bulldog". Catchy, with a prominent bass line done by the great Billy Sheehan, this song kicks. Nearly as impressive is the next track--the uptempo, melodic "Price You Gotta Pay". The third track is the first ballad--the lovely "Promise Her The Moon", but that is followed by another mid-tempo rocker, the attitude-laced "What's It Gonna Be".

Next comes a cover that on the surface doesn't seem to fit but is actually very nicely done--"Wild World". ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Mr. Biggest?
As I said in my review of Aerosmith's "Pump", I always try to be a bit different to everyone else. For this reason, I am trying to find a reason to prefer this to Mr. Big's probable number 1 album, "Lean Into It". You know, I might just be able to find more than one.

Where Lean Into It perfected the sound the band started on their first album, Bump Ahead shows more progression. The sounds are beefier and fatter, with Billy Sheehan's bass playing taking more of a dominant role -- no bad thing when we are talking about the greatest rock bassist on the scene. The whole thing's heavier than "Lean Into It", and where that album seemed dominated by commercial AOR numbers, this one has its fair share of rockers. The ballads, and I love ballads, are of the usual high standard, and this is everything we've come to expect of Mr. Big -- non-stop quality. What else do you expect from such a flawless collection of musicians? ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another Terribly Underrated Band
It's nice to see Mr. Big has released a new album with guitarist Ritchie Kotzen. It's called Get Over It, check it out here at amazon.com. If you like good melodious music written and performed by talented artists like Mr. Big, you will like it a lot.

As for 'Bump Ahead', it has everything. As another reviewer said, there is simply no one word to describe it. It's musical diversity really shows off the vast musical talent of the band and the wide vocal range of Eric Martin. It's kind of upsetting though, that this band never really got the respect they deserved. But now that some of the real bands from rock's golden era, the 1980's, have come back onto the scene with new albums (Poison, Motley Crue, Slaughter, etc.), maybe that injustice will finally be rectified.
