Description:

This is Big Sugar's fifth album, this album is a really good album, almost as good as their last one Hemi-Vision. Big Sugar seem to get better with age. It also seems that they have a drummer every other week, they can't seem to get one that will stay. Big Sugar have released four singles off this record(rumour has although they are working on their own record and touring, Gordie has been producing some demos for Wide Mouth Mason's new record) The Scene, Better Get Used To It, Turn The Lights On and Girl Watcher. Turn The Lights On is my least favourite of all the songs on the cd, it started getting so much airplay on the radio and on Much Music and Much More Music, I grew to hate it. This is an excellent all around record Gordie is at his best on this record. I actually got to meet Gordie in Scarborough when he gave a Guitar Clinic, although the guitar clinic wasn't worth the drive to Scarborough it is really cool to be able to say that Gordie Johnson gave me a guitar lesson.

Hot Spots: Where I Stand, Better Get Used To It, The Scene, Girl Watcher, Kickin' Stones, Let It Ride
