5.0 out of 5 stars Big Head Todd & the Monsters do it again!, February 12, 2008

Being such a HUGE Big Head fan it is a bit difficult to be impartial when reviewing this latest effort. What have fans come to expect from Todd Mohr and the boys? Continual solid efforts from the beginnings to the present era of this underated band and once again they have achieved that. Big Head once again serves up a great, solid album with cuts on the hard edge of blues to the melodic alternative country sound that they have fine tuned so well throughout the years. Is this one on their best albums? No. Is it a great effort by a band just having fun, giving their fans what they want and not bowing down to some record executive telling them what to do? Absolutely.
Whether you are a current Big Head fan or not, this album should be owned. For crying out loud, the boys are offering it as a free download from their website and if you want to buy a ready made copy it is only $5 - well worth every penny! From the start of the album, "Her own Kinda Woman" & "Cashbox" offer you the hard edge blues, underappreciated guitar work of Todd Mohr - simply awesome with tight support from the rest of the group. "Cruel Fate" and "Fortune Teller" serve up another pleasurable helping of their trademark alternative country that they have so finely tuned over the years. The rest of the album offers a good mix of jams - some slow, some fast - but all melodic with meaningful lyrics and tight composition. For those of you who are Big Head virgins, do yourself a favor and get hold of copy of "Live Monsters" circa 1998 - available from Amazon. This great album will begin your journey into a band that will provide you with hours upon hours of entertainment. Do yourself a REAL favor and go see them live - you will not be disappointed and will wonder where has "Big Head" been all of my life. Again, don't want to sound too one sided, but this album is a "diamond in the rough" for 2008 - just get it and enjoy. This is one truly hard working band that deserves more attention than they have gotten over all of the years. To Todd Mohr and the boys: Keep rocking and bringing us great music - I'll see you at the HOB in Cleveland on March 1st! Thanks for staying true!

4.0 out of 5 stars SOLID, February 18, 2008

After just a few causal listens I have to say this cd is a quality effort from BHTM. I was a big fan of this group I college and own 3 of their cd's. They're coming to town for a live show and figured I'd be a fool not to see this great band live. I would recommend this cd and all their music. They are no doubt, in my view, a dying breed...a pure, solid, American rock/blues band with an original sound and strong talented artists. Get it!

This was my first Big Head Todd purchase. I do not know what their other albums are like, but this one certainly has a personality conflict. Some of the songs are real hard rockers, while other ones are straight out adult contemporary. I like both generes, however, it is strange when an album alternates between the two.

I'm more old school where I buy (and listen to) albums and expect a "theme". Perhaps this album is good for the MP3 / IPod people who throw random songs on a memory stick.

I did buy this CD mainly for the fantastic "All The Love You Need" and a few other songs.
