Of all the "hip" CDs out there, I would suggest this be the first CD hip fans should buy. It has some of the most popular songs on it, such as everone's all time favorite "At the hundredth meridian", and a couple of my favorites like Fifty-mission cap and Wheat Kings. If you've never listened to The Tragically Hip, I'm not sure how to describe them, but they are one of Canada's best kept secrets, it's rare to find someone in Canada that wouldn't jump at the chance to go to one of their concerts. I'd have to say they have a good traditional rock sound, they are quite non-abrasive, and I think if you were to play this CD at a party, you'd have people coming up to you all night asking about the cool music you're playing.

This is easily in my Top 10 all-time best albums. It is one of those rare albums which is good from beginning to end with no filler or duff tracks to spoil it. The only question is whether they can ever surpass it. I bought this on promotion and it still amazes me just how good it is. I confess I bought Day For Night and it was a complete let-down so didn't bother after that but I haven't heard any of their more recent stuff. However, this should be in everyone's collection.

"The Hip" played at our student union in my first year of university and blew the place away. A good live act is always a great endorsement for a band...and they were incredible.
As another reviewer here said, it's easily one of my favourite albums in my collection, getting regular play almost 20 years since I bought it. There's truly not a bad track on here, they're all full of depth, thought-inspiring lyrics, great melodies, riddled with emotion. It's distinctive, they have a style of their own. A must buy.
