However ironic that by responding you just did the EXACT OPPOSITE!
Way to go!
You're my hero!

Seen OLP twice over the last few weeks. Read a few interviews with the band. It just solidifies my thoughts that if there is to be another CD from The Hip I hope the band goes a different route.

Ive done the same in the last few years. Ever since OLP produced their own album, they are improving. I believe the Hip would do the same without Bob Rock.

I enjoyed the last two CD's as much as anyone. Just some thoughts for the future... :music

Ditto.
For me that song is fairly decent on the album, but it comes alive in concert like nothing else in their catalogue. I saw the Hip on back-to-back nights in San Francisco last year, and that song absolutely blew my mind at both shows. That tune is freakin' EPIC.

As a long time Hip fan here in the good old USA, I feel the responcibilty of USA Hip fans to tell you to please go find another band to screw up and commercialize. Before you showed up the Hip put out music such as Day for Night, Henhouse, Fully Completely,etc. and now with you at the helm we get World Container and We are the same, with songs like "In View "and "Pretend" What is that? Whatever happened to epics like an inch an hour or pidgeon camera?
If I want pop music I'll listen to REM or U2. The Hip had a sound, and identifiable wall of resonance draped with PERFECT guitar weaving and base lines. Now we have "Honey, Please".
Can I ask you a question? Can you leave the Hip alone?
Stick to Metalica. I miss the old/real hip style.

Please dont speak for us "US" fans. No two Hip albums sound the same, they (the band) do this on purpose.

This is the problem with fans of the Rock produced albums: at best they overcompensate and at worst they are completely delusional. To say that DS comes alive like nothing else in their catalogue is pure nonsense. All the Rock produced songs are better live, but I could come up with 75 other songs that blow DS out of the water.

I love the passion the haters have for Bob. In the end we are all Hip fans and besides that it's hard to argue against a persons opinion. But what the Hell, I'll give it a try.
Yo Haters, get over yourselves!
I am so sick and tired of all you "experts" bitching about how Bob Rock ruined the band. Your the same geniuses who drove the band into a wall with all your "live from the floor" bullshit. Get over it. You people remind me of a parable The Paul once told. One fine summer day Paul was hanging out at the cottage knocking back a few cold ones and having a good time with his friends and family. When all of the sudden up walks some friendly neighbor type who drunkenly asks Paul " Why don't you make Tragically Hip songs like you used to?" At that point Paul hauls off and clocked the punk square in the face with a left hook. I may have added that last bit about the punching in the face. BUT HE SHOULD HAVE!
Don't be that guy.
The band has grown up and so should you.

Well said Phil :thumb:
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!

Talk about "sick and tired." This argument that the band has "grown up" is pure foolishness. Unless you definition of growing up means that you move from the "rock" section of the music store to the "adult contemporary" section. Under Bob Rock's direction, the Hip have not grown up, but instead grown old.

Okay great then your not a fan anymore see you later :rambo:
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
