...What if pigs could fly?...

Ok. first off I have to admit, the only thing I know about Mr. Big is they had a huge hit with "To be with you" in 1991. That was around the time, where I was a fat kid dreaming about making out with the hot girl of our class, and all the boys and girls wanted to look like they just walked off Beverly Hills 90210 wearing 501's and white sneakers. I get the same 90's flashback listening through Mr. Big's latest record "What if".

Every track is nicely produced, got nice hooks, and that good old 90's nice rock n' roll attitude. And maybe everything gets a little too nice along the way. The album lacks some edge or roughness to it, it's just too damn radio friendly, and that's a bit of a shame, because these guys can really play their ass off

The tracks that really stands out are Still ain't enough for me, I won't get in my way & Around the world. Especially Around the world showcases the talent Mr Big's got with some really intense bass and guitar work.

Overall it's a solid rock album, with really great guitarsolos and riff's on it, and definitely something you could listen to in your car. So if you want to timetravel back to the 90's, and you don't have access to a DeLorean fully equipped with a flux condensator, Mr. Big is a great alternative. If you DO own a DeLorean please look me up, 'cause I would kill for a ride.
