Product Description
Amazon.ca
The loving memory most frequently conjured here is Led Zep's "When the Levee Breaks." That unparalleled mix of Delta blues, multi-tracked acoustic/electric guitar invention, and thunderous Bonham stomp is all over "The Oaf," a towering single that provides an instant entree to rock radio for the made-in-Canada, based-in-Boston quartet. There's not a weak track to be heard on an album loaded with standouts like "Blown Wide Open," "How Would You Know," and likely second single "That Song." --Jeff Bateman

It's a shame that Big Wreck is no longer. Though Ian's new band "Thornley" is still good it's just not the same.
"In Loving Memory Of" is in my mind a masterpeice. I've had this CD since the fisrt week or so it came out. I remember I was browsing in a music store and the lady that worked there was playing this CD. After only hearing "Look What I Found" and "That Song" I grabbed this CD off the shelf immedietly and purchased it. To this day I still sing along to each song. My love for this album has only grown.

Now here's a band from way up North who didn't give a damn about what the pop charts say. These guys have created a sound of their own no matter how much it brings you back the days of rock and roll before hip-hop was ever in some record company executives vocabulary. Their music is pure soul expressed through electrified instruments. The music has a tempo to it that gets your attention in the right way. It's a natural rhythm that just makes sense. It's real guys playing real instruments telling a story in a very musical way. This album is as much a pleasure to listen to as anything ever put out by Led Zepplin two decades ago. Buy it, listen to it every once in a while and keep it forever.

It has been a long time since I have heard something worthy of my ears. This album is musically perfect, but everyone still talks about "The Oaf", or "That Song", they are great yes, but the best of the best comes from the last song, "Overemphasizing". That song and that song alone makes this the best cd of the 90's.

The CD you WISH Soundgarden had made after "SuperUnknown":
Well, well...where to begin? This is a monster debut, complete with a monster sound that is based around a monster drumbeat, monster vocals, a monster Joe Perry-esque slide guitar... Read more

Reaching For the Sugar
After hearing "The Oaf", I had high hopes for this CD. Unfortunately, the rest of the tunes don't live up to the opening cut. Read more

Finally....something original AND worthy of your ear.
These guys obviously put a great deal of effort into this work. There are smackings of several different musical styles here, and Big Wreck have pulled off the impressive trick... Read more
