Imagine us here... - Andre Cardinal - 09-29-2004

AND HERE WE ARE!

I notice that's twice now that the band chooses to open with Makeshift. That's really good news. Could this possibly mean that by the time the Canadian tour starts, we'll be hearing "Makeshift" getting regular airplay on the radio as the next single?

What a fantastic song to open with.

I love that line in that song. It is one of many highlights from the album

700 ft. in the ste...WOW

700 ft is a nice suprise, hopefully more treats will be coming.

You're as quiet as a fish, I only sing for the whole sea....pure genius!!

I hope this one hits the radio, every time I get to this song on my CD I put it on repeat for 2 rounds.

GOULET!!!

Finally people make sense! I remember some decidedly negative early responses to that song. It should be a single, it's rousing and catchy. Too bad the vocals are mixed so low, but it still kicks.

three lines which rock.....

"let's shake some snow off of our shoulder's"
"let's shake some snow off of the roof"

"you imagine us here, and here we are...."

awesome...

- skippy the wonder dog - 09-30-2004

I think Gord threw in that let's shake some snow tongue twister just to throw off people who like to sing along.

KWT, count me among the many who didn't like Makeshift at first listen. Now, however, although it's not my fave song on the record, I like it a lot and would never skip over it...would love to hear it live! As of now, Heart Of The Melt is the only song that I don't like but someday might (Heaven will NEVER grow on me).

- tigerthelion - 09-30-2004

That's interesting. It's funny because Heaven to me sounds a lot like REM. You being a big REM fan, I would have figured that to be one of your favourites. I like Heaven, love Gord's vocals and the energy.

Heart of The Melt & Makeshift (along with Josephine) are among my favourite Hip songs ever!

- Stephen Dame - 09-30-2004

Great song to open with, and always one of my favourites on IBE. "Weaklings make trouble you played on your guitar" and Gord belting that last "WE ARE!" are my highlights...

Dude on the NG posted a complaint about the live arrangement though... said the way they play it live prevents the crowd from chanting along, and actually dissapointed a bunch of folks at the show. They played it just like teh album version when I heard it live, so I can't comapre, has anyone heard this new arrangement?

- Andre Cardinal - 09-30-2004

Heaven is really growing on me.

- grooveless touque - 09-30-2004

Well, tiger (what's your name, if you don't mind me asking?) I do hear the R.E.M. jangle in there. And I do SORT of like the song...like I can hear a potentially good song in there...but it just doesn't do anything for me. Gord's voice is just too hysterical and there's not really any interesting changes throughout the song...I am not a musician by trade, but I knows what I likes. Don't ask me why - I don't "hate" this song, but I like it as much as I ever will and it just isn't growing on me one bit.

- fingernailsonhull - 10-02-2004

To be honest, I don't really like this tune. The harmony does not sound good at all on "are" during the chorus. Hearing it live, I really liked it, but perhaps it will grow on me. Is Meanstreak a standout track for anyone else on this disc? I love the lyrics, very awesome.
