iTunes Review
After more than 20 years together (and a year after being inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame), Canada’s most popular and influential band continues to give their many fans what they want. The sound is mostly dense and punchy here, with big choruses, bigger guitars, and anthems like “Yer Not the Ocean,” “The Drop- Off,” and the catchy “Family Band” clearly signaling that the Hip are in a mood to rock on their 10th studio release. Though these veterans aren’t making radical changes to their sound now, there are a few things that make this release different, most notably some light reggae guitar touches (“The Lonely End of the Rink,” “The Kids Don’t Get It”) and the addition of keyboards on several songs, such as the tender and straight-forward (for them, at least) piano ballad “Pretend.” Singer and lyricist Gordon Downie is up to his usual inspired wordplay on World Container, and his voice is clear and booming thanks in part to some shiny production. Overall another solid offering by the Hip.
Customer Reviews
Finally! The Hip are back!
Available in the U.S. at last!!! This was released in Canada last October, but we Americans have had to wait impatiently for...the best Hip album in years. The first six tracks are as strong as anything they've ever done - comparable to the early 90s peak of Road Apples and Fully Completely (my favorites). Always cursed as a fabulous live band that's never broken out with a 'great' CD, it's true that the energy of the live shows hasn't always come thru on disc - but here the intensity and energy are raw and palpable. Album sags a little in the middle (Pretend and Last Night aren't great, just OK), but it finishes solid, and the closing title ballad is just gorgeous. Don't know if the rest of the U.S. will ever figure out what Canada has known for two decades (that the Hip are one of the best bands in the world) but honestly I don't really care, as long as they keep crankin' it out like this. Can't wait to see them on tour next month!
Good but not Great
Ive been a Hip fan since the the Up to Here CD which I 1st heard through my wife's Canadian cousin's. I fell in love with there raw sound from the 1st listen and have been a faithfull fan since. This CD is Good but definitly not one of their better creations. My favorite song is The title song World Container and my least favorite is Pretend. The rest of the CD is OK and i am hopeing that it grows on me. But sadly enough there is no Hundereth Meridian, New Orleans is Sinking, or Bobcaygeon here. Just alot of decsent songs that don't stand out.
Good, but not Great
I've been a Hip fan for some time now and have been to many of their live performances. I am still a faithful fan, but I have to say that I think this album lacks the lustre of some of their previous work. I am used to the very unique and catchy guitar riffs present in a lot of their previous songs, but I think that most the tunes on this CD are fairly bland and lack the creativity the band once had.
