Canadians are Great

"The Odds are an incredible band that does not get NEARLY enough play in the States. Thank god for Amazon or I never would have been able to get my hands on any of their albums. Not to mention that I'm a HUGE Kids in the Hall fan so Craig Northey is extra near-and-dear to my heart (he did the soundtrack for Brain Candy and Dog Park, check it out!)"

The Odds are number 1

"I'm a Canadian living in the States and truly miss the Odds experience. I have seen them several times live and while it is true that they are incredible live you really need this album. Its classic Odds and Heterosexual man is awesome. If you haven't seen the video on Muchmusic (which kicks ass on MTV) it's a must."

Still Pumps After 10 Years

"The Odds may be gone, but this Canadian band's glorious CD still rocks with the best of the big boys 10 years after its release. "Jackhammer" is one of the greatest hot grooves with Robert Quine's "pain guitar" rocking out. Whether it's "Sweetness & Love," "Car Crash Love," or "Do You Know," this band starts rocking & does not stop. "Heterosexual Man" is a great driving anthem to male physiology and psychology, a classic track. "Love of Minds" boasts some of the most crisp pop licks around. Odds have tongue in cheek on "The Best Things," "The earth is flat unless you're an astronaut." "The Little Death" is another great track that rocks solidly, "I laid down to take a little nap but there was wet concrete in my bed." The CD concludes with some Beach Boys-style background vocals on the midtempo "Fingerprints." "Bedbugs" is one of those rare rock CDs where each track is excellent. Who knows why this band never hit the very top of the charts? Seek out this little classic set from one of Canada's best-kept secrets. Enjoy!"
