The Tragically Hip is the best and most profound band to hit the music scene in years. They've been putting out cds for almost 10 years now and have quite a large fanbase. Fully Completely is one of their earlier works, and although for me it is an impossible task to pinpoint the most outstanding Hip cd, if i had to, this would probably be it.

Without a doubt, one of the most underrated bands in the world. "Fully Completely" lends itself to both simplicity and complexity. The lyrics, which are sometimes disturbing, but always intriguing, never become awash among the myriad of powerful guitar and bass licks. This is just honest-to-goodness Rock and Roll. The way it was meant to be heard. The Tragically Hip are truly outstanding artists.

You don't have to be a Tragically Hip fan to own this one. Great all around music. You're CD collection just isn't complete without it! Every song is cool!!

Interwoven with classic canadian references like David Milgaard, Jaques Cartier, the CBC, Bill Barilko, les Fils de Rois, this is the album that brought the Hip to the mainstream. Buy it now!

Simply the best album by one of the most talented and under-rated bands in the world today. The lyrics are sometimes difficult, but always intelligent and beautiful. The music is powerful and compelling. It's a tragedy that more people haven't listened to this super hip band.

Without a question, their best work to date. This one flows from start to finish flawlessly. It rocks - It's smooth when it needs to be. This one will knock your socks off (no head bang crap - just really good honest rock). BUY THIS CD

Easily The Hip's best album and perhaps their darkest. Half of the songs were released as singles, and they flooded the Canadian radio airwaves. Gordon Downie is at the peak of his lyrical/songwriting. Bobby Baker and Paul Langlois both provide awesome guitar parts with amazing tonal variance throughout the whole album. Everything from the hard rock to the softer acoustic stuff (Bobby Baker's awesome with the slide). This album easily ranks at the top with the best Canadian albums ever made.

Take this one on the road with you! It's the best CD that these guys have put out.

They are Canadian eh?

A great rock band and Fully Completely is a terrific record to get! What ya got here is pounding rock tunes with attitude and cool lyrical flair. If yer lookin' for stadium, sell-out anthem rock, look elsewhere. The tragically Hip are going to be too cool for you. If you want good riffs, snarky-street lyrics with references to Canadian legends and rock tunes that make you wanna drink beer & kick it all night...just get this disc!

I first heard these guys and purchased this CD while visiting Canada a few years back. It still sits in my CD changer (as do my other Hip CDs), The music compliments the poetic nature of the lyrics, lending itself to thoughts that are at times amusingly poignant.
