After Underdogs, MGB got even bigger in Canada with this album, which spawned four singles and videos. This album made Matt Good a household name north of the border. A solid rock album with nary a bad tune.

The album that got me into MGB, and solidified their status as a great Canadian rock band. I had heard Indestructable and Everything Is Automatic on Toronto radio, and became hooked after seeing him on the side stage at Edgefest ’98 in Barrie.

Review:
After a bunch of demos, MGB’s first real album came out to a warm reception in Canada. It had three singles, and is still the biggest-selling independent album in Canadian history. Obviously, I was late to this party and got the A&M re-release.

A side project of Jeff Turzo from God Lives Underwater. 4 tracks of techno, and it sounds a lot like GLU. I don’t think there were many copies pressed of this.

#Sweetest Goodbye
#Rag Doll [*]
#Harder to Breathe [Acoustic][Live][*]
#This Love [Acoustic][Live][*]
#This Love [Kanye West Remix][*]
Review:
Yes, I own Maroon 5. It took me forever to get it too. However, patience is a virtue, because I got the Australian import version for the same price as the regular American version, and got a bunch of nifty differences. The bulk of the album is the same, but strangely, Not Coming Home is a live version (in the middle of the album!). Then there’s the requisite bonus tracks: A b-side called Rag Doll, acoustic versions of Harder to Breathe and This Love, and then the Kanye West remix of This Love. And a different cover. Oh yeah, needless to say, yes, I actually like these guys. 🙂

Review:
Andrew Wood’s band before fronting Mother Love Bone, acutally recorded in 1986 and 87. Kinda like glam rock with funk in it. It’s neat to have, but I can’t say this gets played much.
