When I first read your post I was thinking, "why is this guy being an asshole, I know what a triple album is" then I realized it is all true. Is it just me or can you see how I would mis-interpret your response as a typical, snarky internet forum reply.

First off, wow.
Morning Moon: Interesting song but I just can't get into it. Love the strings.
Honey, Please: Seems kind of light. In View equivalent with better lyrics.
The Last Recluse: some of the most powerful vocals from Gord I've ever heard and my second favorite song on the album.
Now The Struggle Has A Name: Not my cup of tea, still listenable.
The Depression Suite: Glorious. Makes 9 minutes seem like three.
The Exact Feeling: Weakest song on the album. Not bad, just generic.
Queen of the Furrows: Holy solo, batman! Came out of nowhere.
Speed River: Nice song, smooth. Sounds kind of Phantom Power-esque.
Frozen in my Tracks: Freaks me out. Strangest song since Tiger the Lion. Love it to death.
Love is a First: Radio-friendly, nice beat. Good rant.
Country Day: If this was sadly the last album it couldn't close much better than this.

Agreed, but my gut tells me they got one more album to make. Thats me not knowing what their contractual obligations are, but I dont think this is the last one.
Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”

Stop talking this madness...Gord is only 45, guys like Bono are still going and he is 49 with no talk of a last album yet. Let's hope they keep playing and producing into their 50's. :thumb:

I've given it multiple listens now, and I'm very, very disappointed. I really want to like it, especially after reading all of the glowing reviews here, but this easily settles to the bottom of my Hip Album Rankings. I hope it grows on me, but I'm doubtful. I really can't stand the strings. It ruins the songs.
However, I am looking forward to hearing these songs live at all three Calgary shows.

Gord said in an interview before that they would continue to make music indefinitely, health permitting. I'm fairly certain that the interview was relatively recent, around the world container launch. So unless there has been news to the contrary, there is no reason to assume this is the last, or second last album.

I've been meaning to say - someone mentioned "muddy" production awhile back and I'm pretty sure it's just the shitty rip. It's only 160 kbps and it sounds really quiet, so hopefully the proper release will be crisper. Given how ridiculously loud WC was, I find it hard to believe that I'll have to crank WATS in order to hear it across the room (as I do with the current rip).
