Big Head Todd & the Monsters

Big Records; June 2008

Big Head Todd & the Monsters continue to spread their mountain music with their latest album, All the Love You Need. The disk consists of 12 tracks-all accentuated by Todd’s country-tinged vocals and the band’s signature rock riffs. With simple lyrics, the band keep the love alive and the listening easy. The message here is perhaps best described through the title track’s lyrics: “Let me let you in on a secret/you’ve already got all the love you’re needing/in your heart, in your mind, in your imagination/you’ve already got all the love you need.” In other words, it’s a record that emphasizes the importance of knowing yourself and acts like a cry for self-sufficient love.
