Failure to hold through the notes led to a magnification of the intonation concerns I talked about earlier. I don't mean to be picky, but some dynamics here and there would've been appropriate. This album does have some redeeming qualities. The group's entrance on Leave My Woman Alone , an old Ray Charles jam, made me want to stomp my feet and dance along. Little Big Men came up short with this effort.
More attention is needed to basic vocal techniques prior to entering a studio again.
The other side of the card is that they need to expand and take more studio risks as well. This is a nice souvenir for an audience member at a show, but not much more than that. Little Big Men, a men's quintet from Switzerland, brings an adorable charisma to this self-titled album that transcends its otherwise average qualities. Their tuning has its moments, and their voices are fine, though not extraordinary. But just the same, fans of the classic contemporary a cappella sound will probably enjoy this album.
