Can anyone even stomach listening to this song anymore? I tried to listen to it yesterday and gave up about a minute in. Blech.
My World Container contains only the following:
Yer Not the Ocean
Fly
Kids
Drop Off
Family Band
World Container
Last Night I Dreamed and Luv (Sic) get occasional attention. I don't hate Pretend. But Rink stinks and In View should be tied up in a sack weighted with stones and sunk in the bottom of a cold dark lake somewhere in Northern Ontari-ari-o.
just felt the need to vent that bit o'spleen.

I'm with you on that one. Last night at the Jays' game there was a delay at the start of an inning because the home plate umpire got hurt and they played In View from start to finish while we were waiting. It was the first time I'd heard it in months, and it was still as chessy as ever.
Other than it and Pretend, I still love the rest of WC though.

According to ITunes its my most listened to song on WC — partly becuase my girlfriend loves it.
Still dig the song.

Never will I be able to enjoy In View. Its just too much of a packaged single. I dont like it. The album is good, but not great. I don't think it comes close to IBE.
Notice that that robs solo on Las Night I dreamed is like, the only solo on the album...NOT COOL.

I think they need to start working on a new album,or a few new songs. Go in a different direction all together. A heavier sound, a real rock album that canadians can party too. Thats what the fans want and expect from these guys. Throw some swear words in and get angry gord. lol.....that would be hot!!

Im sure the reason you Canadian fans are sick of it is bc its played on the radio and such, however here in the states the hip is NEVER played. The only place i have found to sell the hip is FYE and Best Buy in the states. I dont think In View is that bad of a song, in fact i think its catchy, however i think its like every Nickleback song in the states.... Way over played

Everyone will debate this song till the cows come home! Seems like its a love it or hate it thing. I actually love it. Just as much as I love some obscure tunes from the Hip. I think a lot of TLC was put into making it. It got a huge amount of airplay here in the Detroit/Windsor area, probably the closest thing to a hit here.
Top 3 on WC:
In View
WC
Fly
Just for the record it was cool as hell to see and hear Downie doing In View by himself during the soundcheck for one of the Detroit State theater shows.... what a voice this guy has.
AND, I'm probably in the minority on this but I'd like the guys to do a mostly acoustic and bluesy cd next....

One year later and it still sucks, maybe more.

In view is a girly song, I never thought the male fans would dig it. I think its a cute song but it only appeals to certain people, you really have to be in a perky, giddy, childlike mood to get into it. Somedays it sounds great ,somedays its very annoying.

That sums Bonner up pretty good!
That song was made for him. :thumb:
