Review - :
When guitarist {$Paul Gilbert} exited {$Mr. Big} in 1997, fans wondered if the technically high-skilled {\pop-metal} band was over. But instead of calling it a day, {$Mr. Big} enlisted brief {$Poison} member {$Richie Kotzen} to take the place of {$Gilbert}, and issued a pair of albums -- 2000's {^Get Over It} and what turned out to be their final release, 2001's {^Actual Size}. Despite numerous musical styles coming and going since their self-titled debut arrived in 1989, {$Mr. Big} admirably stood their ground stylistically, as {^Actual Size} manages to retain their early {\arena rock} sound while also fitting in with modern-day mainstream {\rock}. This approach is best sampled on such tracks as {&"Shine"} (which was supposedly a hit in the land where {$Mr. Big} continue to reign supreme -- Japan) and the album opener, {&"Lost in America."} And it just wouldn't be a {$Mr. Big} album without a power {\ballad}, and here it comes in the form of {&"Nothing Like It in the World"} -- a track that seems custom-made for either {$Meat Loaf} or {$Michael Bolton}. As evidenced by {^Actual Size}, {$Mr. Big} stuck to their guns till the very end. [{@Atlantic}'s 2001 edition included one bonus track, {&"Deep Dark Secret."}] ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
