MR. BIG 'Defying Gravity' First Impressions

Wed

May

Ok, so half a dozen listens to the new MR. BIG album 'Defying Gravity'...
Easily the band's most diverse recording to date. And very raw, very 'live in the studio'.

Some very innovative tracks - very different for The Big.
Production from Kevin Elson is very raw - those with a dislike for Kevin Shirley's effort with the band will likely have the same view here.

A few new masterpieces as is always the case, awesome musicianship of course - but also a little mellower than the last two and ultimately - an album that I think will attract divided opinion.

Another 20 listens to go before I will review officially.
