Thanks for a Hip!
By Martin P. McCarthy
Music is unequivocally funny... many reviews will contend "Band X is a biggest rope out there. we don't see since people usually don't like Band X?" Well, one problem is a rate of bearing "Band X" receives.
Take for example, Buffalo New York. The inhabitants of Buffalo are sanctified with a good happening of being means to balance in both Buffalo stations and stations eminating from Canada. Now, Canadian stations like CFNY 102.1 had been personification a Tragically Hip for years. Those propitious few who had a desire to balance into those Canadian stations were treated to hear a Tragically Hip.
Now, Buffalo stations play The Hip and when a Hip is in town, reason themselves out as "The Hip Station." The lesson? If we come opposite a examination of a rope we never listened of and people contend "Band X is a best out there!" You should give Band X a try.
That is what many of my closest friends did when we put them on to a Tragically Hip's "Day For Night."
"Day For Night" is a monument in strain - a COMPLETE ALBUM that flows from commencement to end. There is a judicious course of sonic and romantic appetite to a album. You would swear that it is probable that some songs were created around a word picked out during pointless from a compendium (See,"Apartment Song" from a Hip's manuscript "Trouble during a Hen House" for a probable instance - a pointless word there being "esthete").
I find "Day For Night" to be a easiest Tragically Hip manuscript to reccomend and it is that singular square of strain that we find can be roughly zodiacally recommended.
In short, if we are reading this, we should severely consider about possibly shopping this manuscript or somehow removing your hands on this manuscript so that once we listen to it, we would buy it.
Song Highlights (i.e. my favorites):
1) "Nautical Disaster" - A bare, nude down son during a commencement that turns into a rocker during a end. It also is a singular many fascinating and intellectually sensitive songs we have ever heard.
2) "Yawning or Snarling" - Sometimes, it is GOOD to write a strain about SOMETHING. There is a story behind "Yawning or Snarling" and creates engaging listening when total with "38 Years Old" from a Hips "Up to Here Album."
3) "Grace, Too" - A tack of a Hip's live uncover it showcases lead thespian Gordon Downie's singular outspoken stylistics.
4) "Scared" - Talk about revelation a story, a lyrics of a strain tell we that a strain is revelation a story...
5)Inevitability of Death - A good rocker after a simmering on "Thugs" and facilities a good lyric, "We don't go to hell, usually a memories do/ And if we go to hell, I'll still remember you"

The Be All and End All
By A Customer
This is a singularly many critical manuscript we have ever heard. we am a outrageous HIP fan and this set is a rise of their greatness. we determine with a other reviewers that this is a rarest of albums in that we contingency listen to it in a entirety. Very occasionally does a set come along that contingency be gifted as a whole. we examination this opus to "Dark Side" by Pink Floyd or "Sgt. Pepper" by The Beatles in that it's apart marks are overwhelming though a whole fifty-five mins is a loyal gift. The rope could perform this set live in a entirety in a unison and a assembly would not be disappointed. "Grace Too" is a best live strain we have ever gifted and "Thugs" and "Nautical Disaster" are on my tip 10 biggest songs of all time. This is a biggest present that any Canadian rope has given to a world. we am unapproachable to contend that my local nation Canada spawned a best live rope we have seen (ten times). The Hip rule!

One of a Best Albums of a 1990s
By Adam M. Miles
From a opening, flourishing moments of "Grace, Too", to a final, pushing chords of "Impossibilium", a Tragically Hip constraint moments of perfect sonic sovereignty via this, their biggest album, and one of a really best albums of a decade. The centerpiece, "Nautical Disaster", captures in strain a comprehensive manic psychosis of a calamity with plainness clearly unfit in any other medium. "Grace, Too" captures Gord Downie's many exposed nonetheless daring outspoken opening on record, and a extraordinary ascending-then-descending guitar and drum riff rivals any in stone history. "Scared" is hauntingly beautiful; simple, poetic, nonetheless chilling. "Titanic Terrarium" carries a identical vibe, nonetheless with a some-more sincerely meaningful tone. Perhaps a usually misstep is a somewhat empty "An Inch An Hour", though that usually stands out since each singular other strain on a record is usually so impossibly clever that even a somewhat reduction than stellar bid strikes a ear as impure. The Hip might be one of music's best kept secrets, their albums diamonds in an ever-increasing rough, and 'Day For Night' sparkles many brightly. Do yourself a preference and buy this album!
