Research I did on The Monks some years back yielded a quote from one of the members saying that they were playing dive bars in England and were broke and on the verge of splitting up, when they got word that their album had taken off in Canada. So they went there to promote the album, and "it was like Beatlemania!" They were treated like royalty and played large venues, including a gig at Toronto's Massey Hall.
Their single "Drugs In My Pocket" was huge in many markets - it went to #4 on CHUM, Toronto and #1 on CKOC, Hamilton. It went Top 20 across Canada. Meanwhile, back at home, they couldn't get arrested. Their next album, "Suspended Animation" was released exclusively in Canada. It went gold, and this album, "Bad Habits" went double platinum in 1982.
The person who rated all the tracks on this album was obviously neither a fan, nor a Canadian.
