Just listened to the Alan Cross interview with Paul, and he sounds pretty confident that a new Hip record will be released in 2011. Says the guys are all in a good head space, jamming, having fun, and the goal is "let's go in and make a killer record." Says they have a two month window right now where they'll be able to get a lot done. No mention of a producer, so I get the impression that they're producing it themselves. Sounds very promising. Here's the interview:

Sounds great...don't want to get flamed but ditch Bob Rock please.

I think fans of the Bob Rock albums can agree that its time for a change.
Agreed wasn't meant to be a monster slam. Just time for a change...things did sound very promising.

They're not working with him this time around.
Fresh and creative are always good...
I love what Paul said about making it fun. The whole band staying over at the bathouse, jamming late night. Great to hear!

Possibly tour dates this summer ... good news!!! And album too!
Here's hoping for a good old rock'n roll album
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW you just made my day. I was hoping the Hip would take their next album into their own hands!! Its going to be a ridiculous record. I wonder what they mean by 2011 hopeful... I would kick a small child for a new album by the summer.
Would love to see a Butch Vig produced album. Won't happen but i can dream.. :-)
Smashing Pumpkins, Soul Asylum, Nirvana, Green Day, and of course Garbage - some of my all time favs in there.

I am a Huge fan of the self titled album and Road Apples as well a huge fan of World Container & We Are The Same and yes I agree it's time to drop Bob Rock. Heck drop all producers Paul & Johnny have produced records for other bands why not put their collective heads together and produce their own album. It is time they do that!!!
A Tragically Hip Album produced solely by The Hip!!
