I bought that record for like 5 bucks!
I'm the one who made the mistake..

But seriously, this is an okay album in comparison to "Hope".
Best space-themed pop rock band to come out of Canada in the late 70's, which contained three memebers...

I totally defend the first record, there is definitely something really hokey about it but some great songs, especially "Sub Rosa Subway" and "Interplanetary Craft." Don't know calling something "Anus of Uranus" ever seemed like a good idea, actually in general when they try to bring the "ROCK" element (that song, also "True Life Hero") they fall really flat. But I dig em in psychedelic mode, and of course their Muppet number "Sir Bodsworth Rugglesby" is a charmer. Was that supposed to be the Ringo track?

It's Woloschuck singing with his voice slowed down.

"True Life Hero" is classic '70s hard pop-rock in my book.

I should pull it out again, over the years I've come to think of it as "Sub Rosa Subway and those other songs" but I'm pretty sure it's a good listening experience almost the whole way through.

All three guys on Sir Army Suit for the 40th anniversary:

Made me listen to "A Routine Day" again, which is certainly a good thing!

From a '90s interview with Dee Long:

Q22) Why a mouse-trap at the end of Magentalane?

A22) I believe the mouse trap is followed by the mouse scurrying away, after ALMOST getting caught in the mouse trap!

The mouse trap was "Capitol" and the "Music Business", and we were the mouse.

That snippet is now listed separately as "End" at the end of the album.
