Gord Downie OWNS THIS RECORD! I completely disagree with people saying he is oversinging. He completely hits this one out of the ballpark. It is Gord's shining moment and he stands head and shoulders above all other bandmates. I don't think this is a bad thing, though. We all love Robby, Gord S, Johnny, and Paul but Gord is the star of the show and always will be. It bugs me when Gord misses a lot of lyrics when singing live but he makes up for it with his live energy and effort. On this album, Gord delivers in every way possible. I don't think it's possible for a current lead singer to measure up to Gord's performance on this cd. The lyrics are not his strongest on this cd but his singing is off the charts tremendous.
