Liner Notes
...The Stories We Could Tell is a work on which MR. BIG, while showing technical playing, placed the songs’ accessibility as the top priority. The guitar and bass show vivid movement throughout, but the leading role is always the singing and choruses. The band’s conversation becomes the very drive of the songs. It is a record that advanced the post-reunion momentum further.
On “Gotta Love the Ride,” “Fragile” and “The Stories We Could Tell,” pop hooks, a bluesy warmth and hard-rock edge coexist naturally. Songs like “I Forgot to Breathe” and “Cinderella Smile” breathe the band’s full playing too. The further you listen, the more the chemistry between the members comes across. It is a full, characteristically MR. BIG record on which flashy technique and endearing melody can be enjoyed at once.
