Found this on the rounder site:

Battle of the Nudes is the second solo album from Gordon Downie, lead singer and chief lyricist of Canadian superstars The Tragically Hip. From the wistful opening track "Into the Night," to the bouncy single "Pascal's Submarine," Downie's poetic vision focuses on both the real and the imagined. Battle of the Nudes is a stunning step forward for the restless creative force that is Gordon Downie.

Great to see figment and we're hardcore on there. #3 and 7 sound a bit familar too. Can't wait to hear it. Here's the link: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.rounder.com/album.asp?catalog_id=6483">http://www.rounder.com/album.asp?catalog_id=6483</a><!-- m -->

Still can't believe the album is so short? O well

[Drez7]

Yeah, that is extremely short, but if it's good it will be worth it. Does anyone know if this album will resemble Coke Machine Glow in any way. There are some songs on there that I enjoy but it is very "different" to say the least. I guess that's just Gord!

If it were anyone but Gord, it would be rather hard to justify spending $20 on what looks like a 37 minute album...it's a shame it's not lengthier, since CMG was so flawless, but I'll have to buy it nonetheless. But still...in this day and age, sometimes it seems like a ripoff to spend all that money (I'm a student) for something so short, even if it is great.

Which, of course, I have no doubt that BOTN will be!

Let's hope it doesnt cost as much as a regular cd...maybe ep price
