Drip Drip sounded really great when I heard it live. It would be so sad if that song got cut in favour of these generic songs.

"We Want To Be It" is one of the lines in the chorus. I'm guessing that song is what we've been calling "Drip Drip Drip."

Oh good. Relieved.

They've done worse. Much worse. The cover of M@W is still aesthetically offensive. I don't mind this one actually. It's a wee bit saucy.

I like the cover. It doesn't really fit the Hip I guess and doesn't fit the sound of these songs, but I think it's okay.

Getting some frenetic drumming from Johnny on Streets Ahead. I'm liking the album version better than the couple of times I heard it live.

It looks like a Death Cab For Cutie album.

I liked At Transformation, not feeling Streets Ahead so much - but then again I didn't like it that much live either.

I was going to say just that. Interesting to find out who the artist is...

Since it's a sausage fest here I have some POTENTIALLY BREAKTHROUGH interpretation of the album cover.

"Plan B" is otherwise known as The Morning After Pill.

And "Plan A," therefore, off screen of the end of a twister game, the opposite of "Plan B," may (or may not) be taking place.

In that light, therefore, I think I very much like this album cover. Haven't we all learned by now, after a career spanning some 30 years, that lyrics, phrases, and imagery, may not be as they seem?

Not a chance. I think the album cover is gold.

I'm a fan of the cover! Diggin it!

Like most of the Hip's songs they are open to interpertation.... The cover is certainly open to many possibilities. Simple but yet could be as complicated as you want it to be.

Streets Ahead... Not sure about it. I can't understand what he's singing... They were way, they were way? Too bad he doesn't just name the song what's in the chorus anymore. I dunno guys. I'm not big on this one. The drums are great though.

I agree on your points. I like the melody and the rhythm but (I am probably in the minority here) I was hoping for a more acoustic sound for that song... It's a solid album cut (along the lines of Freak Turbulance or Heart of the Melt etc)

Just my two cents

BTW....it's just great to have new (somewhat new) music from the band to talk about again :thumb:

I like the cover. The boy has nice legs. Streets ahead is going to take a few listens (although I've loved it live already). This version sounds unfinished or something. Or maybe I just have bad sound.
