"I've been a fan of the hip since a friend played me the "Phantom Power" album and a couple of choice tracks like "New Orleans is Sinking".



I really loved the Phantom Power album and I have always found a number of new favorites on their subsequent albums (tracks like "It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken'" from the "In Violet Light" album and "Vaccination Scar" from the "In Between Evolution" album). However, when I heard their last album "World Container" I was completely blown away! Every track on that album sounded fantastic and stuck in my head.



I really thought that it would be the high point for the Hip and as such I was worried about "We are the Same" - could it be as good? The answer is YES! Wow..."We are the Same" is a fantastic album filled with great tracks such as "The Last Recluse", "Morning Moon", and "Honey, Please". It's distinctively a tragically hip album, and yet it's different to anything else that they have done. This feels like a more mature album that takes you through so many different styles and moods - there is something for everyone here! The beauty is that the hip have experimented and grown as a band, while keeping all of the fantastic qualities that set them apart from other bands. I mean seriously, can you beat these vocals and lyrics??? :)



Fantastic - highly recommended."

Great CD!
