Glad to see IVL near the top of a few other lists. With the exception of the opening track, I still think it's one of the best put together albums the band has done.

I agree. Sonically speaking, the last great sounding Hip album IMO. Engineered and mixed by Hugh Padgham at Compass Point Studios, Nassau (Johnny's second home). Plus it has The Dire Wolf and The Dark Canuck on it :music

I still enjoy IVL. I always thought it sounded a little too slick production-wise, but it's certainly not as excessive as the Bob Rock era. Overall I think Hugh Padgham did a pretty decent job. There are some really great songs on that record (Darkest One, Good Life, Leave, Beautiful Thing, Dire Wolf, Dark Canuck). Also, Gord's singing is excellent throughout.
