    It's an appealing, bombastic hybrid of '90s nostalgia, and anything less than audience ear drum obliteration is not an option.

    Unfortunately, The Big Roar can't sustain the love affair over 12 tracks. [May 2011, p.85]

    It's dizzying, and you'll want off at times, but you'll likely ask to ride again.
