1 Star.. Straight to Ebay.
2 Stars... It will sit on my "older" c.d. rack to collect dust.
3 Stars.... It will stay in my "listen to rack" to go through every once in a while.
4 Stars.... It will be in my computer while I'm working.
5 Stars.. It will be cranking through the house.. and car.. my girlfriend will
have to get used to it..
ERIC MARTIN
IM GOIN' SANE
Review: First song kicks in...and kicks ass! I wasn't the biggest Mr.Big fan.. Don't get me wrong, I liked them.. just wasn't one of my favorites, I'm not sure if it was Paul's style of playing or what.. but anyway.. this c.d. is very different.. which I'm so glad.. It's still Eric Martin style of singing, very pop-rock... but I like this better.. Anyone that is a fan of Eric's will love this c.d. and the more I listen, the more I like it! Great lyrics, great melodies, and great catchy grooves. But I still wish he would get heavier.. or do all mellow songs like "Bigger Man" ... this release is kinda a mix of it all.. as far as the production, it can crank pretty good, but the songs sound like they may have been recorded or mixed at different places, cause the levels seem to be different . So all in all its a keeper!
Booklet: This is a booklet that folds out (not in a c.d. case) 2 pages, with pictures of his band.. (His wife plays drums.. how cool is that!) The booklet has song credits.. and some thanks... (I'm stilling missing the pictures that used to be in c.d.s there is a couple pics of Eric.. and his short hair.. he looks 10 times younger w/short hair!)
Favorite track: "My Disease" the heaviest song on the c.d. .. of coarse... and I really like the slower one "Bigger Man"
Least Favorite: "There Goes the Neighborhood" .. it's just not growing on me...
