Review title: An evolution, sure - at least not too much of a degeneration
Product review: I saw the Hip grow big from their beginnings in my Ontario home town, a bunch of school pals from Kingston.I know they are not Led Zeppelin, in terms of sheer musical gift.But despite themselves, The Hip deliver endearing albums, and sometimes the songs can move you. For who they are and what they do, the music's really good. You forget the slightly rickety rhythm section and awkward stabs of guitar, much as if you had the Velvet Underground on the stereo. This is a band with something to say, unlike say, the irony-dependent Sloan (another Canuck band with marginal instrument skills.) The Hip are therefore real.Case in point: "Josephine", the closing song on this CD is just as sublime as it gets. If you can hear it. Otherwise, you might as well go buy some shiny perfect Dave Matthews stuff. It's rare to encounter a band that means anything.
