The year was 1992; here a band was completing what would become an international success, the first and last work of the 4 Non Blondes. The world was changing at that time; Music was progressively changing. And so, while the great Kurt Cobain was climbing the charts around the world with Smells Like Teen Spirit, a small group of young friends was just debuting in their career, probably unaware of unleashing a quick dart of innovation, a great shake to the international musical scene.
It's an incredible album, almost perfect, that should be listened to in its entirety and immediately, without the external world distracting you from that Masterpiece; it's a shout, this album, and let it shout in peace, you won't regret it. It's also a very varied album, talking about genres: the predominant one is undoubtedly Rock, but you certainly can't say that "Bigger, Better, Faster, More!" is just rock; there's also a strong trace of blues, especially in the first two tracks, like dance, in the latter part... It's a very sweet conjunction (we could also say a very tasty medley!) of genres that, for every song, for every melody and for every note, perfectly and masterfully build the body of the work; the solid voice of Linda Perry leads unchallenged to talk about various subjects: sex, drugs, anger, regret, despair... but beware, don't be too influenced by the words: it's a shout, remember! And you have to take it as such.
