Just got done listening to Mr. Big and thought Eric Martin would've been a good choice to sing the tunes on "Pirannha Blues". There's some good tunes on that album but the singer didn't cut it for me. Thoughts?

eric maritin, billy martin ,, whoever, i was pumped for this when it came out,, the singer sounds like graham bonnet, i didnt care for the vocals either causing me not to be able to enjoy the songs and leads,, i dont think the band spent more than a week recording it ,, mayby less if i remember ,,, ive listened to it maybe 2-3x ever,, very disapointing,,

I hate it too. Not that the songs were all bad, but that vocalist sounded like Dio imitating the cowardly lion. Horrible

Don't agree, I love the album, good rocking raw blues .. Eric Martin would have sounded great on this album.

It took me a while to get past the vocals because I had been so used to the smooth Journey vocals...this was so different. But it really works for the music and I love the CD!

You know, going from smooth to rough is not the problem, its going from talented to hack that's the problem. That singer could ruin any album.
