I am a fan! Not every single tune but some real gems and a good album on the whole. Been playing it quite often. The Hip have paid there dues man, even if you're not a fan they deserve props from one and all if you ask me. The show in Wiarton last Saturday was good, Gord Downie is a whack job and I love it. The concert set up on the other hand sucked balls --- getting a beer was NOT possible, not cool at all! (The lineup to get into the beer tent was 1.5 hours long). Was bummed that The Spades were the first band and I missed their set! Arkells did a good job though, and I missed Sam Roberts. Thanks Chris Wylde for the accom hookups and otherwise!

(Sorry for the complete topic hijack.. great album!)

It's out in the UK/EU at the end of AUG, so it's new to me. It's far from their best, agreed, but it's a step up from the last few I think. Best since Phantom Power.
