The latest and greatest from the Hip. I like this even more than IBE, and again, not a bad song on here. The Kids Don’t Get It, and Family Band are highlights.

Review:
A back-to-basics record for the band, the sound is brighter, more stripped down, more straight ahead rock. A fun return to the upbeat Hip, after the somewhat more-experimental sound of Music @ Work and In Violet Light.

Review:
The album title is sort of representative, because this album has a bit darker feel than some of the others and while still good, it took a bit more for me to get to like this record.

Review:
This album was the first one I could follow from the time it was released, although I still didn’t get to see them live. Poets kicks things off with a bang, and between Fireworks and my favorite on this one, Bobcaygeon, it’s the Hip in their usual fine form.

Review:
For such a bootleg friendly band, they let the general public get a taste of the live show by taping a performance at Cobo Hall in Detroit during the tour for Henhouse. There’s a couple of Gord Downie’s trademark ramblings and not a bad song in the bunch. Certainly as good of a representation of a live show that one can get without experiencing it in person.

Review:
Another solid effort, but admittedly this one gets passed over in favor of some of the other albums at times. Ahead By A Century is one of the band’s most popular songs, and I’ve always liked Let’s Stay Engaged.

Review:
This album, for me, is one of those ‘forgotten’ albums. I acquired it much later than some of the others, and while its quality all the way through, I never seem to spin this one nearly as often.

The first full length album, which foretold a long and solid career. New Orleans Is Sinking is probably the best known tune on here, but I’m partial to 38 Years Old.

The initial EP from the Canadian icons. Apparently All-Canadian Surf Club is a bonus track, but I must be too young to recall any version without it.

Review:
Every song on the album is epic and quite long, with the exception of the segues. There’s really not much to say other than it’s Tool. Some of the songs seem unecessarily long, but hey, follow your muse I guess.
