Ep. 124 Mr. Big - Lean Into It - Review & Reaction
Released in March 1991, Lean Into It is Mr. Big’s second studio album and the record that catapulted the band into international fame. Blending technical musicianship with radio-ready hooks, it showcased the supergroup’s lineup of Eric Martin (vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass), and Pat Torpey (drums).
The album became a landmark in the early ’90s hard rock scene, arriving just before grunge would dominate the charts. Its biggest hit, “To Be With You,” reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped charts worldwide, proving that shred guitarists and virtuoso players could still produce mainstream ballads that resonated globally. The record balanced technical brilliance (complex riffs, dazzling solos, rhythm tightness) with a pop sensibility—making it one of the last big glam/hard rock albums to leave a massive mark before the shift in rock music’s landscape.
