Mr. Big - Photographic Smile (2026) [Hi-Res]

Review by Steven McDonald

Power chording, extensive harmonies and radio-ready pop hooks are scattered willy-nilly throughout this album, but the one true reason for having it at all would have to be "Feel Like Calling Home," a power ballad so wracked with emotion that the natural end result is burning up the wires. Much of the rest is relatively disposable, despite Dicken's heartfelt vocal calisthenics.
