[Killer Whale Tank]

NT kills, but I seem to remember it receiving a decidedly mixed response on this site when it came out all those eons ago. I think of it as among the first 'later era Hip' rockers - spikier and less anthemic than the earlier stuff, with Gord's thinner and more stab-like vocal stylings pushing it outside the comfort zone of mainline FM radio (which, I daresay, is the primary sonic reference point for many Hip fans - though not me personally). It's much closer in spirit to IBE or 'Goodnight Attawapiskat' than, say, 'Courage.'
