As with most of the Hip's later output, this is an album with many highs and lows. The difference here, however, is that the highs are much greater and even the most jaded veteran Tragically Hip fans can find themselves enjoying tracks such as "At Transformation". Gord Downie's songwriting really shines where his lyrics and and the band's performance really clicks, on standout tracks such as "Goodnight Attawapiskat". The number of throwaway tracks, on the other hand, really hold back this album from taking off as the Hip's true return to form.

While this is not going to be called a comeback album and their mojo seems to be in a long, slow decline, they are still putting out fine music. They have not gone bad.
