Wake up U.S.A!

"This is the debut CD of (I feel) Canada's premier Rock Band. They're a band that can ROCK, but after you listen to their music, you catch yourself thinking about the lyrics. I know, I know, the words thinking and rock band don't usually belong in the same sentence, but these guys are the exception to that rule. Hugh Dillon is a lyric writing genius. He's also a neurosis filled, authority hating, terminally depressed rebel that we'd all like to be in our rock and roll dreams. Buy this CD, listen to "When Something stands for Nothing" and "Cemetary" and pretend you're on that stage...all your dreams will come true."

Hugh Dillon Rules

"I love it when I seen a band play live and it sounds just like the CD. That's exactly the case with Picture of Health. Lead singer Hugh Dillon's snarl and ferocity come through completely intact on this album. The music is dark, sad, fast and very agressive. The cover of Tweeter and the Monkeyman is fantastic. This is one of the hardest working bands in Canada and it shows in their albums and in their live shows."

Nothing but the Best...

"Simply one of the best, if not the best CD I've ever bought. I'd also recommend their cd Smile and Wave, or the Greatest Fits cd. One of the best, or in my view the best Canadian band that ever existed."
