| "It's always important to have a good first
impression, and the opening salvo of Canary Mine's debut album, Bitter,
Better, Happy ,Horny, certainly accomplishes that." "The disc traffics in humourous rap-based tunes
which layer harmonies atop an almost scat-like base." |

| Released in May 2004, this first album
is the perfect amalgamation of gangsta rap and romance. The tracks include
traditional folk-hop crowd-pleasers The Toast and Canadian
Strip, drunken love songs Randy and Wrong In Taiwan,
"memorably expletive-laden" Rock Song, "almost
operatic" Tech-E and more. Bitter, Better, Happy ,Horny
is an honest portrayal of the early Canary Mine sound, the sound that
carried the band on its first successful tour across western Canada,
winning great new friends and new audiences. |
