This album has TH one good song Poets
Every other album is just a mix of messy bland attempts as music with the dying goat vocals. This is the album that actually has one good song on it hence the 2 stars.


Welcome To Canada!


The Tragically Hip make truly beautiful music and this CD is my personal favourite. This band is the very essence of Canada. For anyone just getting in to them, this is a great CD to start with. The other great introductory albums are Live Between Us (a good sampler plus the Hip are fantastic live), Road Apples (for the older Hip sound) and Trouble At The Henhouse (for "Ahead By A Century" alone).

For any existing Hip fan, this CD is an instant classic; a must own. Bobcaygeon is an Ontario anthem never to be surpassed, but every song on this release is a gem, most notably: Thomson Girl, Poets, Emporer Penguin and Travelling Man.

If ever anyone, anywhere goes to a cottage, they must bring: 1)Atleast one 2-4 of Canadian (or preferably Alexander Keith's or Moosehead) and 2) this CD. Nothing goes with the stars like a beer and Bobcaygeon. Nothing.

I definitely recommend this CD. If you don't like it, ILL give you your money back. *

*Offer valid for Canadian citizens only. Not valid in Quebec. .


you yelled in my ear this music speaks to me
This is the type of album that brings the word "art" directly to mind. This is a great place to start if you're curious about the tragically hip. A truly original sound, very poetic. "Escape Is At Hand For The Travellin' Man" is one of my favorite songs of all time. Check out all of the hip's music, but start with Phantom Power.


The Best Hip Album To Date!
The Energy is there, the typical obscure lyrics as well as the definitive Canadian content. These guys have done a lot of great albums, but this one is my all time favourite, with Fully Completely, Road Apples and Up to Here close behind. A classic and must own Canadian record!.


wicked awesome Canada
Although not as popular as some of theyre older music, i find this CD above thier others in my CD player the most. i love this CD, all great songs. I Especially love Poets. If your Canadian, you should own at least one of the Hips albums. I'd suggest this should be it.
