That was my first thoughts exactly when I first heard it. There's some unbelievably fantastic moments on this album that are just pure Hip genius, you just have to listen for them and don't get too lost in the production. Like your "weed" reference you almost have to see past it all and get taken away by it, is anybody feeling me?
A few quick random thoughts:
I cant wait to hear "Here in the Dark" live, that song is a monster, I think it will blow people away live.
Hot Mic, wow..this song could slot in on Day for Night with ease, really took me back in time.
In Sarnia, my early favorite, shades of Music@Work I think this one could be an all time favorite. I can stop listening to it.
Man, beautiful song, great album opener, has a Grace Too vibe, but I have this gut feeling its a NFPA leftover, Gord's been working on his Man Machine Poem opus for awhile now, and here's the results, simply amazing.
The band has channeled the best of itself and laid it out here, forgoing the heavy rock anthems of old and whats left is a beautiful album full of emotion and musical prowess.
Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”
