iTunes Review
After more than 20 years together (and a year after being inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame), Canada’s most popular and influential band continues to give their many fans what they want. The sound is mostly dense and punchy here, with big choruses, bigger guitars, and anthems like “Yer Not the Ocean,” “The Drop- Off,” and the catchy “Family Band” clearly signaling that the Hip are in a mood to rock on their 10th studio release. Though these veterans aren’t making radical changes to their sound now, there are a few things that make this release different, most notably some light reggae guitar touches (“The Lonely End of the Rink,” “The Kids Don’t Get It”) and the addition of keyboards on several songs, such as the tender and straight-forward (for them, at least) piano ballad “Pretend.” Singer and lyricist Gordon Downie is up to his usual inspired wordplay on World Container, and his voice is clear and booming thanks in part to some shiny production. Overall another solid offering by the Hip.
Recent Customer Reviews
Best Hip album in YEARS
by tikitavi7... some of these reviews crack me up. This band's fans are among the most loyal in the music biz—so loyal, in fact, that they sometimes miss the forest for the trees. This is BY FAR the best Hip album in years. You pretty much have to go back to Phantom Power, and "Daredevil" (off Day for Night), to find the Hip sounding as good as they do here.
Except for a single dumb bow (in "The Lonely End of the Rink") to the dance-punk crud that was oh-so-trendy in '06, this World Container holds some pretty sweet rock n' roll. Gordo's keening is blessedly restrained (for Gordo), as is that two-pronged guitar nonsense that on prior Hip outings often made for acoustic sludge. Man, when these guys keep it lean, they ROCK, which is the main reason that they're normally so much better live than recorded. World Container is stripped down and energetic—whoever produced this did a GREAT job keeping his touch light (like those bells in "In View"), and reminding the Hip that as a band, they are 20 years YOUNG!
Good, but not Great
by SlogsloshI've been a Hip fan for some time now and have been to many of their live performances. I am still a faithful fan, but I have to say that I think this album lacks the lustre of some of their previous work. I am used to the very unique and catchy guitar riffs present in a lot of their previous songs, but I think that most the tunes on this CD are fairly bland and lack the creativity the band once had.
Powerful
by BUF/ORDThe Hip continue to escalate album after album. Their lyrics, subject matter are agressive and delivered with passionate; in some cases, fierce vocals and percussion sound. Another great album by far for The Tragically Hip.
Last Night I Dream, Kid’s Don’t Get It and Luv (Sic) - You can imagine how awesome these are live.
