I like it better than their last 3 albums. The only thing I don't like is some of it seems to be over produced. Some restraint on the production end might have suited some songs nicely. But overall, I was pleasantly suprised by this album. The Hip managed to sound more fresh and exciting again with this record, rather than continuing to rehash the same old sound everyone expects from them. There is still vintage Hip on this record, but a few songs that you wouldn't expect either. "the Kids Don't Get It" might be my favourite song of theirs for a long while.
