Is Shred-Pop a thing?

So, this is specific to my favorite Mr. Big album, but their latest Defying Gravity drops this week. I saw them in June in Tempe, AZ, having forgotten how much I enjoyed them back in the day. I had lost interest when Gilbert left the group, and now that he is back they sound as good as ever! Watching him with Billy Sheehan is just mind blowing for any guitar fan or player, and they can write some great songs to showcase that talent. Eric Martin sounds fantastic still, and touring drummer Matt Starr takes over admirably for Pat Torpey, who still plays percussion and sings but is unfortunately limited by Parkinson's Disease. Anyone who is a fan of their ballads gets a little love in the setlist, but mostly the band is there to rock. I had an amazing time, and have pre-ordered the new record already. Check them out!
