Mean is the fifth album by the band Montrose. It has much more of a glam metal sound than previous Montrose albums.

Singer Johnny Edwards and drummer James Kottak had previously played together in the line-up of the glam metal band Buster Brown that played on the second Buster Brown album Sign Of Victory, and later played together in the first line-up of the band Wild Horses.

Guitarist Ronnie Montrose and bassist Glenn Letsch played together in the band Gamma both before and after this album.

It features the song "M for Machine" which was written as a potential song for the film RoboCop (1987)[3].

Kottak would go on to join the original line-up of hard rock/glam metal band Kingdom Come, remaining with that band during their most commercially successful period, prior to reconnecting with Edwards in Wild Horses. After leaving Wild Horses, Edwards became the frontman for Foreigner on their 1991 album, Unusual Heat.
