This is a 3 song cd that contains the new Mr. Big single Superfantastic. That song is GREAT, but the real gem is Burn a Blackmore/Coverdale song that cooks. Six plus minutes of Eric's great voice, Richie's screaming guitar, Pat's pounding groove and, of course, Billy's thumping bass. I must admit that when I first heard the band without Paul Gilbert, I was a little ticked off. Richie's no Paul, but Richie is Richie. Give him a chance and he'll grow on you quick. I'd say about 3 minutes into Burn.

This band, I hope, will go down in history as one of the best "all-star-bands" ever put together. Superfantastic (and its 'b-side' "You Dont Have to be Strong") are wonderful melodic ballads, really showcasing Eric Martin's voice and Ritchie Kotzen's acoustic work. The gem, however, is their cover of the Deep Purple Classic "Burn"! Hearing Kotzen copp Blackmore's amazing solo reminds me of his talent, and how glad I was that he found this band to work in! Eric Martin out-does himself (and Coverdale) on the vocals, and you're hearing this from a GIANT David Coverdale fan! Sheehan even gives a go on Jon Lord's solo (originally done on an organ), and although this fiery solo outdoes even the solos by Jaco Pastorius (once again, a Jaco fan saying this!), a Bass solo is not really warrented for this song...regardless, a great job on a great song!

If you can find this, GET IT! Its worth it!

I bought the this album and solo album of ERICMARTIN .But I think for there not to be a difference with the atmosphere which the music of solo ERIC has too much. If being persistently the band which is called MR.BIG, will it should not whether or not it is raw more or do a privilege as the band? However, if saying a taste to this album, it is " preference ".
