Three months-ish after We Are The Same has been released.
I think Now The Struggle Has A Name could quite possibly be one of the best Hip songs I've ever heard. Everything about it kicks my ass. I guess consider this an "appreciation" thread. When the chorus kicks back in after the final verse, it's pure Hip bliss for me. I can't pick between this and The Depression Suite... but I was far more impressed with Struggle live than the Suite. Together though, they make one of the best 1, 2 punches I've heard on a Hip record for a long time.
With songs like this, I would not mind if it was announced tomorrow that the next Hip studio album will be produced by Bob Rock. A trilogy if you will.
...and Honey Watson, I struggle on!
