The Pleasure and the Greed by Big Wreck

The Pleasure and the Greed, Big Wreck's second album, came out on Atlantic on June 5, 2001, and it turned out to be the last word from the original band before they split. Dave Jerden produced, and Ian Thornley's guitar runs the show: heavy, knotty riffs with a progressive-metal streak and Thornley's big, full-throated wail over the top, with Brian Doherty on the other guitar, David Henning on bass and Forrest Williams on drums.
They got the word out early, posting seven of the songs on their website in April, and lead single "Inhale" picked up plenty of Canadian radio play. "Ladylike" and "Knee Deep" followed with videos, and Myles Kennedy, then fronting the Mayfield Four, turns up on "Breakthrough". It debuted at 10 on the Canadian Albums Chart. Thornley went solo after the breakup, and Big Wreck didn't return with a new album until Albatross.
