Saw these guys in North Bay, Ontario when they were touring for this album. Stabbing Westward opened for them. AMAZING concert. The energy and musical talent that I saw on that stage blew me away.

[@dostthouevenlogicbrethren1739]

Saw these guys play live back in the day. They were actually amazing live. They had some small unheard of punk band trying to make it big open up for them. They called themselves Billy Talent. They were pretty entertaining then too.

[@nightdriver]

geez, i haven't thought of billy talent in probably at least 10 years.

Can't believe how long I slept on these guys.. been a huge grunge fan for years. AIC, STP, Smashing pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, etc. Never heard of these guys until I was listening to a Canadian radio station recently

see if u can find some Our Lady Peace. another great band

[@dash3640]

Our Lady Peace - The Tragically Hip - The Tea Party - Moist - Wide Mouth Mason - The Headstones - Econoline Crush All awesome Canadian Bands that dominated the post grunge era when US Mainstream went to rap rock and boy bands. You will enjoy them if you like 91-94 grunge alternative.

[@DadBigE]

Perfect song. One of my favorite rock collectibles is the promo Scenery and Fish poster signed by the entire band. Fort Myers, Florida.

[@LordTepes81]

I gotta say there were a lot of songs that formed my teenage years during the 90's and this was one of them. I associate this song a lot with King of the Hill as they both air around the same time frame where I grew up....Nashville to be exact. 103.3. WKDF had the best rock station. The Top 9 @9:09 was something to be around for every week night. As much as I love being able to look up any song I want on a whim, I truly miss having to sit by the radio to listen to a song that I loved. When it came on it meant so much more to me than it does now as I can wear that song into the ground if I want. CDs were expensive and cassettes just weren't the same. If you didn't grow up during that time you wouldn't understand. I think that's why this music hits so hard for me.

[@usaturnuranus]

These guys were pure energy and I still keep DIG in my playlist to this day. Damn fine band, a huge 90's sort of funk rock vibe that I love as a percussionist.

[@animalgrabber]

I bought this cassette at the record store while I was still too young to know what music was a good buy. It ended up being the best purchase I ever made.

[@MaesterPayne]

Got it from my uncle's gas station. Such a great album

[@sirstriker886]

Listen on a good head set or sound system. I think my laptop is getting old. Not the same zip anymore. I turn this up in my car all the time.

[@SirZapdos]

Any Pulse Ultra fans? They were a hard rock band from Montreal that formed around 2003 that named their only album “Headspace” after this song. It was an outstanding album. The guitarist from that group went on to form a prog rock group called “The Chronicles of Israfel” who have released two absolutely stellar albums. No pun intended since they have sci-fi themes.

[@VinMetal666]

Zapdos has excellent taste, Pulse Ultra rules

[@Cana-Dave]

Another fine example of great Canadian talent the world will never see

[@linkwarner2003]

This song pumps me up before golf and gets me focused it's so hype. "I never miss, I never miss". Get's me in the zone right away. One of the best songs for athletes to train to hands down. When I was young I would listen to this and Finger Eleven's Good Times and it would help me through my brother's death a lot. An absolute masterpiece.

My first live concert was seeing I Mother Earth when they toured for this album. Crazy experience. I was only 9 or 10. My first live concert and it was made even better when my younger brother started hitting on the cute, gothy female bartender and then meeting Edwin and talking to him for about an hour. It was an almost forgotten moment in my long life, but it changed so much of who I am that I will probably never not dwell in the memory every so often.
