You can Pre- order WATS on iTunes with a bonus track Hush
And big news on MONDAY! YAY!

[Tthip]

After hearing LIAF, I wonder if Country Day is going to be a slow/sad song, or if they keep given 'er till the end.

Country Day is not a slow/sad song.
It is a "rocker".

Starting Friday, February 27th, through iTunes Canada, We Are The Same can be pre-ordered.

All purchasers will receive the full album on Tuesday, April 7th. The pre-order version also comes with an exclusive bonus track, 'Hush'.
Just when you thought this news could not get any better, when you purchase the album, you will also receive an Instant Gratification Gift from iTunes. At time of purchase, 'Love Is A First', will be downloaded into your iTunes player for your listening pleasure.

Stay tuned to thehip.com and your inboxes for the next wave of exciting news on Monday morning, including more album pre-sale options

Oh, you jerks.

How can I get a Canadian iTunes account? Is it as easy as downloading it off of the Canadian site? I'd love to be able to pre-order/buy the whole thing there, it beats my IBE/WC strategy of paying 35 bucks to order the import album off Amazon and get release day shipping.

Also, betting Monday they announce tour dates.

C'mon Vinyl/ CD package pre order with shirt and mug!

Boo*&#*(&$&urns on the "bonus track" through preorder. This is the LAMEst thing to come from the digital world of music.

So now I have to preorder an album, end up buying it legally on iTunes then go out and buy it again at my local record store? I absolutely hate it when bands do this. Luckily for the Hip I will suck it up and pay $25 for two copies of an album.

This news most certainly could get better. We could buy the "bonus track" without having to preoder.

[SoylentGreg]

MAv, you are almost certainly asleep, but I must ask - is "Hush" the song with the "greatest Hip moment" you mentioned, the song you said we'd "probably hear at some point?"

[metronome]

I really don't want to have to pay for the entire album twice. I have to have a physical copy (I just do, I'm sure you can all relate), but obviously I need the bonus track as well. I was really hoping the Hip wouldn't do this.

[mintgreenbird]

buy the cd... steal the bonus track... :rambo:

buy the cd... steal the bonus track... :rambo:

I'm sure a lot of this is going to happen...

"The Depression Suite" is nearly nine and half minutes. Wow. hock:

[greenscor]

On the Hip Website "Love Is A First" is now on for the Song fo the Day!!!

[Dark Canuck17]

When I first heard the song I was like not bad but the more I listen I am really starting to dig it. On the SOTD when LIAF is over and then goes to MM talk about a change up...I think they are going to do an unbelievable job of mixing it up on this one. Not many bands out there can mix it up like these guys and give us something as different as this one :music

[SoylentGreg]

"The Depression Suite" is nearly nine and half minutes. Wow. hock:

I'm betting it's The Dark Canuck II, rhythm changes and all. And that's awesome.

[trevor]

So I like Love is a First...listened to it a couple of times and it's pretty good.
Lots of ranting by Gord, especially in the background. Anyone make out what he is saying?
