5.0 out of 5 stars Best album of "the poets" , August 25, 2004

By	J. H. Infante (Guadalajara, Ja, Mex) - See all my reviews

The canadian poets have offered to us their best album "up to here" with their all time classic "New Orleans is sinking", great rock n roll with heavy blues and southern rythms, amazing style a very defined personality , Mr Gordon Downie is a genious also a man with a great inspiration and artistic sensibility, we need more songwritters like him, The Tragically Hip is also a very united band, members have remain the same for over 20 years they havent fall into the trap of fame and their style doesnt change for commercial success , they feel happy with their legion of die hard fans like me that will always love the hip as our little selfish secret

I saw the hip , in 90 or 91 , at the metropolis in harrisburg pa, after hearing airplay of "New Orleans is sinking".... they were the opening act for Eric Johnson"...( another sterling canadian product; along with Rush, Cowboy Junkies, and the RHEOSTATICS ( whom after 16 years of listening to the HIP I find it astronomically impossible to have missed for this long))... 2006 first listen... let's just say I was instantly transormed....best tracks on Up to Here...

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this CD, January 6, 2006

By	Christopher Hivner (Dallastown, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One of the best rock n' roll CDs there is. When I heard "New Orleans is Sinking" for the first time I waited for the Hip to break big in the U.S. I still don't know why that didn't happen, but after ten years plus, Up to Here has lost none of its luster. A marvelous combination of straight ahead bluesy rock with sly, heartfelt lyrics. Gord Downie's interesting vocal style blends perfectly with a rambling, imprecise guitar sound. "New Orleans is Sinking" is still one of my all-time favorite songs and I also particularly like "Blow at High Dough", "I'll Believe in You (or I'll Be Leaving You)" and the ballad "38 Years Old", but there isn't a bad song on the CD. I'm glad my local rock station played these guys for a few weeks all those years ago or I would never have heard of them and missed out on this great CD.
