At Transformation - World Premier - HNIC
#61

Why? I actually like it?

want to be a nobody without peer
want to be a thought that's never done
want to shake your faith in human nature
want to break the hearts of everyone
want to be your wheezing screen door
want to be your stars of Algonquin
want to be your roaring floorboard
want to break the hearts of everyone

Probably refering to getting back to the raw basics. No plan B - just back to the original plan.

They could name it anything and I'd be happy, as long as all the tracks are as fantastic as "At Transformation". :wink: I love it!

I think it speaks volumes to the Hip's attitude towards their music that they chose to premiere the full song on a 'new rock' station like the Edge rather than going to 'classic rock' Q107.

To those who heard the single - was it any longer than the version on HNIC?

I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

Whaaaat dude are you kidding me? That's a killer title.

Totally unexpected. Unconventional. That's the best thing about this band. They don't keep trying the same things. It's always about the new. If the new is off the wall, then you know what, for a band of 30 years, all I can say is goddamn thank you for trying.

I get why they're calling it what they are; it's a return to their roots, back to basics, etc.

But really, where's the clever, literate side of the band? A title like In Between Evolution leaves a bit of mystery, whereas And Now For Plan A is just so obvious. Every single interview they'll do beforehand will talk about how the band is getting "Back to their roots," and it'll become a stale concept.

Thanks for the link. Man, what a killer song! Definitely a throwback to an earlier, edgier sound. And the mix is fantastic. Love how the guitars are right up in your face where they should be, and Gord's vocals are amazing.

Definitely enjoying the tune so far.
Not sure I agree about the mix though, sounds slightly overproduced on my first listen. I'll withhold judgement until the whole thing comes out!
