Title: Nobody's favourite Hip album, but still worthy
Review: After 'Day for Night': not dark enoughAfter 'Fully Completely': not 'Canadian' enoughAfter 'Road Apples': not loud enoughAfter 'Up to Here': not bluesy enoughYet there's still something to this record, the first and only entirely self-produced Hip effort. 'Ahead by a Century' is the most beautiful vocal Gord Downie has ever delivered (and the best backup vocal Paul Langlois has ever pulled off). 'Flamenco' is almost as gorgeous as 'Century'. 'Sherpa'is an unlikely masterpiece about getting high and dreaming of a mountain-top. 'Gift Shop' and 'Springtime in Vienna'--underwhelming as album tracks 1 & 2--are still mainstays of the band's live show. 'Butts Wigglin' is the best song title ever.Throwaway tracks: 'Put if Off' (turn it off!), 'Apartment Song', and 'Coconut Cream' (appropriately, a song about jerking off)
