Album Review
The debut recording from Finger Eleven, Tip blends alternative grooves with a heavy rock edge. The catchy hooks and reflective lyrics provide a rich and layered presentation, giving songs like "Above" and "Awake and Dreaming" remarkable levels of emotion. By experimenting with timing and tempo in their compositions, Finger Eleven displays a flair for musical detail and craftsmanship, setting them apart from the sonically similar Stone Temple Pilots and fellow Canadians Our Lady Peace. This collection of powerful and deeply felt songs moves through rock soundscapes with impressive results.

The First And The Best
by schlapWhile the song Quicksand made a bit of chart noise in the U.S., Finger Eleven and their album Tip went largely unnoticed upon release in 1998. It's too bad, because Tip is still my favorite Finger Eleven album. A little less polished and a little more raw than their later work, it fits better in the alt. rock landscape. Finger Eleven is great at changing pace from soft to near screaming in the same song, and Scott Anderson has the perfect voice to pull it off. He never quite gets to the vocal chord shredding sound of some newer bands, but regularly reaches just the right intensity. Aside from Awake and Dreaming. everything here has some bash to it. I can't really suggest just a couple of songs - they're all good. If you can't get your alt rock fix here, you may already be comatose.
I would say try this album out first, then work your way through the band's releases chronologically. Finger Eleven has evolved and changed it up with each release, and while I like them all, their sound has been tweaked a little each time. Whatever the case, Finger Eleven is a great band and Tip is the place where it all started.
