5.0 out of 5 stars That's what I'm talkin' 'bout., February 8, 2003

All I can say is- what an amazing album, as usual. For anybody who loves great guitar solos and a lot of slide, this is a must have album. And you can't forget the 27 minute long hidden track that really clarifies the album's title. Everybody go buy it! You won't be disappointed. ;) for more info; go to: www.widemouthmason.net

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not as great as previous works, November 5, 2003

Having grown up in the Canadian prairies, I have to say that I am a little partial to any band that comes from Saskatoon. So it's fair to say that I am biased towards Wide Mouth Mason. The fact of the matter however is that they are a really good Band. Shaun has got some amazing guitar and vocal talents, and Earl and Saf are a very groovy and tight rhythm section.

I'm not however, overly-impressed with the latest album. It's good, rhythmically together, and very well formed music, but maybe I'm trying to compare it too much to their self-titled debut, which is one of my all time favorite albums.

A little bit of the band's history...

Earl, Saf, and Shaun grew up together, attending the same high school in their hometown of Saskatoon. Having played together in various incarnations since 1993, they finally settled into the present trio, officially forming Wide Mouth Mason in 1995.

I could go on about the specific points about what I liked and what I didn't like, but you realy have to hear it for yourself. I'll just say that although I feel it was weaker that their first album, it's at least on par, if not better than the last two.

Shaun Verrault has a lot of energy on stage, and it shows up in this album. Lots of diverse tracks with great guitar work, which always sounds big. It is hard to believe that only 3 guys are playing.
