    I am starting to really love the album, happily. :)

    But btw, I think the album cover is awful. I hate it.

    agreed on the cover art. it's weird. it's like their version of Nevermind.

    So now that we've all had time to absorb the new album, thoughts? I actually love it. Best Hip album since Day for Night IMO.

    Bold statement but well played.

    I liked TATH and Phantom Power more than this album.This still is a respectable offering from a very respected institution.

    TATH and PP both have absolutely incredible songs on them (and huge hits, by Hip standards), like Bobcaygeon, Poets, Gift Shop, and Ahead by a Century. They are both really incredible albums (I also really like Now for Plan A a fair bit). But as a complete, cohesive album, I think MMP is better (not by much mind you)... maybe because it's a little more weird. I'm attracted to that.

    Favourite songs from MMP?

    Mine are "Man", "Great Soul", "Machine", and "Here, In the Dark".

    Whole album is fabulous, though. <3

    Edit: Yeah, I think the cover art is atrocious. I find The Hip have been really hit-or-miss with album covers. I don't mind the arms part of the photo (used on the back cover), but the baby ... he looks like he's wearing a mullet wig. I'm hoping the band will have MMP merch that doesn't feature Baby Wayne Gretzky. :neutral:

    More merch thoughts ... I know they're selling a Tired As Fuck mug in the Gift Shop already, but I'd like to see that on a t-shirt.

    Hard to believe the tour's coming up already.

    the new cd is def one of the harder ones to click for me. having said that i know what happens when that happens...when it finally clicks i will only then realize what a complete gem it is. no hip cd has ever let me down. same as the tours. same as the setlists etc etc
    the band just announced a lottery for each show on the new tour. 50 pairs of tickets to be released by lottery day of the show. good luck to all who enter!

    I am really jealous of your weekend show. Crowds are so much more fun on Fridays and Saturdays! I'm stuck with a Tuesday, which is possible the worst possibly day for a show (I did take Wednesday off though - I can't sleep after a great show). Not that I'm complaining... well, okay I am kind of, lol. But it will still be a great show, just not as great as a weekend one might be.

    Where is a good place to grab some beverages and dinner before the show tonight? Never been to Victoria before. Thanks for any advice.

    Close to the Save On there isnt that much.
    There is a Kareoke bar right close called Sopranos but as far as food goes Id eat downtown then come to the arena.
    Pagliachis is amazing if you like italian food.
    It gets busy so its best to be there when they open for dinner at 5 i think.
    Places like Earls or the Cactus club on Douglas arent too bad.
    Depends what your hungry for.....

    There's a couple options for places to eat by the arena in Victoria.

    Sopranos closed down about two years ago, but there is a restaurant by the arena called White Spot. It's not the hippest place but it's about a 3-5 minute walk to the arena.

    Romeo's is another one that is about a 3-5 minute walk away on Blanshard St.

    Show should be a good one. The Killers, Noel Gallagher, Pearl Jam and Tragically Hip in a week is a pretty rock solid list.
