iTunes Review

Released in 1992, Fully Completely is the album that marked the Tragically Hip’s coming of age, both commercially and artistically. A quintessentially Canadian band with a huge, fiercely loyal fan base at home, this album arguably represents the pinnacle of the Hip’s songwriting. Impressive from start to finish, the songs on Fully Completely are at once overtly powerful and subtle, featuring muscular riffs and great guitar interplay backed by poetic, literate lyrics steeped in mystery, wit, and vivid imagery (“Pigeon Camera” and “Locked In the Trunk of a Car” are but two great examples, but the words could apply to any of them). With “Looking for a Place to Happen,” “At the Hundredth Meridian,” and “Fifty- Mission Cap” they craft a mythology that seems to stretch across the entire history of Canada without ever directly saying so. That said, the album, and the band, is anything but provincial. It rocks hard, brilliantly builds and releases intensity, and also includes a solid ballad (“Wheat Kings”). In short, an inspired album that deserves to be ranked among the best rock albums of the ‘90s, in Canada or anywhere else.

Customer Reviews

Timeless and Brilliant. This album speaks for a generation of Canadians

The only thing tragic about the Tragically hip is that their influence remains primarily in Canada. They dominated the Canadian music scene during the 90's and still retain a strong audience looking for nostalgia. This is a band that could have been larger than life with the right marketing strategy in the U.S.. Canadian exports like Alanis Morrisette, Brian Adams and Celine Dion have gone far because of marketing to the American public. For me, this album conjurs up images of Spring Break and a decade of Canadian "bush" parties. It's songs resonate from Ontario's cottage country to the heart of big cities like Toronto and Montreal. It remains one of my favorite albums of all time.

timeless

gotta say that this album has been a favorite of my for over a decade now. I never get tired of spinning it from head to tail. 100th meridian still gives me the shivers, it's such a powerfully woven metephor for life out west.

Fully Completely

This has been my all-time favorite band for over ten years now. Seen them live 7 or 8 times now and I never tire of any of the songs on this album. True talent and in the States they are not as well known as you would think. How could one album have so many great tunes?!?
