CD Reviews

Song-for-song, their best work
K | Brampton, Ontario Canada | 04/08/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"The fact that this altogether excellent album suffered from relatively underwhelming sales confirms one of two theories: either listeners have begun to take the band's dependability for granted, or the multi-faceted system in place to promote quality rock music has faltered though sheer laziness and indifference. Music @ Work mirrors the structural strides made by the last release - producer Steve Berlin has been a godsend - while imparting significantly more aural interest. Variety is the key; a quick spin through the disk exposes straightforward rave-ups ("Freak Turbulence", the tilte track), moody devastation ("Sharks", "The Bear"), big-guitar bombast ("Tiger the Lion"), and acoustic tenderness ("Stay", "As I Wind Down the Pines"). To be blunt, everything impresses and nothing disappoints"
Lose Gord's Doctoral Thesis Song and we're good...

"As I mentioned praising "Violet Light" I always find "Tiger The Lion" a jarring, disruptive tune that I think puts a lot of people off playing this record through. I just don't get why it's there - and I take no real issue with the Hip's other 100 songs, just this beast on track #2 of this otherwise fine CD.



This record did not do very well. (Damn that track #2!) Yet it has as many good tunes as their best sellers. I generally skip tracks playing any CD (opinionated as I am) yet most of this CD has me glued to the speakers rather than the skip button.



There are essential tunes on this CD for any Hip music consumer. And they sound great which is a bonus."
My first Hip album ever...

"Music @ Work was my first TTH album ever, and remains one of my favorites. The band has come a long way from this style of music with the recent release of 'In Between Evolution' and the difference is quite stark. The days of 'Music @ Work' seemed to have been simpler times, with simpler, more 'popular' tunes and solid, stick-with-you songs. "The Completists", "Tiger the Lion", and "Sharks" sit high on my favorite Hip songs list. A definite must-have for your Hip listening pleasure. There is just something about song lyrics that actually mean something..."
