Match-up #39 - The Dark Canuck Vs. Scared
Listen to the two songs in the match-up Back to Back, and consider the lyrics of the song. Feel free to post an unbiased analysis of both songs in this thread, but please refrain from cheerleading or making predictions for your favourites.

Is it just me, or does this matchup not seem to have that "powerhouse" feel compared to the last few?

Scared is one of my all-time favorite Hip tunes. There's just so much imagery in those lyrics, and the sound is so dark.
The Dark Canuck is the Hip's first stab at a multi-movement song (although it's not listed as such) and I love how it changes.
This was a tough choice.

This does not have the luster of a Fiddler's vs. Last of the unplucked Gems or Three Pistols vs. Long time running
The perfectly descriptive lyrics of Scared should put it in the next round.....

I have a soft spot in my heart for most everything on IVL - I just keep thinking I should be listening to Problem Bears immediately after The Dark Canuck!!! :thumb:

i particularly love the drums that go into the distance all static-y as The Dark Canuck ends on the album - definitely a great closer.

I love the The Dark Canuck - it's too bad it's taking a decent beating from a worthy opponent!
