When you think back on classic, defining rock 'n' roll moments - from a Jimmy Page riff to a Kurt Cobain scream - virtually all of them are larger-than-life, impossible to ignore. That kind of scope is evident throughout The Pleasure And The Greed, the second Atlantic release from Boston's Big Wreck-a band that's clearly not hesitant to swing for the fences. "Putting out an album with 16 songs gives people a lot to chew on", says singer/guitarist Ian Thornley. "But that was the idea. I think it's about time that people buying a CD get something for their money. Too many bands get the idea that they should focus on coming up with one really good song, and then a whole bunch of pale imitations of that." Big Wreck won't have to field any such accusations in the More... (Submit New Big Wreck Lyrics) (Submit New Big Wreck Lyrics) Big Wreck - Another Canadian band had their fifteen minutes. | Reviewer: Falcon ------ About the song That Song performed by Big Wreck Most Canadian radio stations will play Big Wreck's The Oaf a couple times a week, but this song was their true gem. I'm not a Thornley fan, nor would I call myself a fan of BW... this is just one of those songs that has an emotion tied to it that everyone can feel, and a strong guitar riff to carry it along the whole way. Add this to your setlist of songs from the 90s by Canadian bands that had their time in the spotlight, like The Headstones, Big Sugar, and I Mother Earth. Reeks of Awesomeness | Reviewer: Alexander Thornley ------ About the song Everything Is Fine performed by Big Wreck Another great song by Big Wreck.

Biggest Wreck Fan | Reviewer: BiGRoCKStaR ------ About the song Blown Wide Open performed by Big Wreck YES this is the theme song to alot of my sorrows. The First album intirely is just emotionally heart wrenching. Im 33 Ive been A fan of Big Wreck. Well Ians THornleys Music before they where even really know. The very first Canadian official gig was PLayed in my Home town. Barrie Ontario. Ian constantly states its his favourite place an basically where he gets his mojo runnin. Blown wide open is a song I get carried away in tears everytime I sing an play it. It is a cover song I keep on bands top list. Cause I can connect with the emotion so well. Im hoeping 2008 I may get to open for Ian. But who knows. A talented man that is an unsung Hero in Canadian Music. Pure genious I would add. Sorry nickle back - Chad - You should be taking the back seat. But its probably good this way. Keeps the music real. Bigus Wreckus Forever. The Second ALbum is just as good. Check out a song on it called "All By Design" ANother Blown Wide open kinda feel. Lt hope to hear my band DownThrow open for Ian. Ciao Addicted | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Blown Wide Open performed by Big Wreck I'm truly addicted to this song. I bought the Big Wreck album when it first came out, and "Blown Wide Open" has grown into one of my favorite songs ever. It moves me every time I listen to it. It almost seems to get better as time passes. The emotion of the music, lyrics, and vocals takes me to another place. Thank you Big Wreck! Overwhelmed | Reviewer: Cat ------ About the song Blown Wide Open performed by Big Wreck I first listened to this song yesterday. The tremendous emotion brought tears to my eyes, and all kinds of things from my past surfaced in my mind. Few songs have ever created such an intense reaction for me, and I love music that is able to do so. I'm adding this to my list of "special songs" to listen to when I'm feeling down. I love it. Two thumbs up! | Reviewer: Paul Kragenbrink ------ About the song Blown Wide Open performed by Big Wreck Hands down, this is my favorite Big Wreck song. I can't think of another song they did that carried such emotional power. "Blown Wide Open" was the song I would listen to when I was alone while my wife and I were separated. I identified with it so much, it felt like they were my words, not Ian's. Granted, Big Wreck had other good songs ("That Song", "The Oaf", "Undersold") but this is the one that did it for me. If you've never heard it, buy it or download it and listen. And, for the more sensitive types out there, especially the ones going through a divorce or breakup, be prepared to cry. It's that powerful. Knee Deep In Sincerity | Reviewer: Lazarus ------ About the song Knee Deep performed by Big Wreck What is "toff"? No matter...I'm certain lyricist and vocalist Ian Thornley knew what he meant, even if I don't. Like all things Big Wreck, this track is timeless, and priceless. Although Big Wreck never really connected in the US, it was certainly no fault of the band. On this song, vocal comparisons to Chris Cornell are to be expected, but Thorley has a sensitive side Cornell seldom displays with such sincerity. Big Wreck has sadly disbanded. Ian Thornley has regrouped and returned with a new line-up, aptly titled "Thornley" and the results are anything but disappointing. Ian Thornley has a gift for rich melody, and he has brought that gift along with him to his new project. Let's hope this time someone in America is listening!
