Question for Tragically Hip fans

I found there cd titled "Up to Here" several years ago and love every song on it. Recently I've picked up their latest titled "in Violet Light". These have a totally different sound, doesn't even sound like the same band to me. The "Violet Light" cd is a far more mellow sound. I prefer the rock sound of "Up to Here". Do any of you know if any of there other cd's sound similar to the "Hip" tunes I am used to? Maybe even where to get them, they are hard to come by.

Hi there,

I've been trying to get folks interested in the Hip here on the 'Gon. Glad to see a fellow Hip fan, they are one of the best live acts I've seen. I'd strongly recommend "Day for Night" as their best ever (My favourite Hip tune is Nautical Disaster), but if you like their harder rock stuff "Road Apples" and "Fully, Completely" are great choices. It's worth buying "Live Between Us" just to listen to Gord's bizarre banter. BTW, I bought "Day for Night" on vinyl off the Hip's website :

I'll be curious to hear what their new release will be like, "Vaccination Scar" is due out shortly. Enjoy the band! Jeff
