_DESCRIPTION_:
(2021) Mr. Big - Lean Into It [30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition]
Review:
…this deluxe edition has a bonus CD with previously unreleased tracks, early and acoustic versions, non-album track ‘Strike Like Lighting’ (featured in the film Navy Seals) and four tracks with either ‘minus bass’ or ‘minus guitar’.
Mr. Big is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its chart-topping album Lean Into It with a remastered and expanded anniversary-edition reissue. First released in 1991, Lean Into It is the second studio album by the group, consisting of Paul Gilbert, Eric Martin, Billy Sheehan and Pat Torpey. This is the band’s breakthrough album, with Lean Into It peaking at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 chart, while the single “To Be with You” hit and remained number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks. The follow-up single, ”Just Take My Heart”, was a Top 20 hit, peaking at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. The million-selling album also contains the popular tracks “Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy”, “Alive And Kickin'” and “Green-Tinted Sixties Mind”. “Lean Into It” shows that Mr. Big could also strip away all the flash and seven-minute solos and simply create well-written songs with rhythm, groove and good melodies, making the band one of the iconic new wave of progressive “musician’s bands” who could play mind-blowing complicated riffs on their instruments at lightning speeds.
