The Hip: Hip Once Again

Aside from being Canada's favorite band, The Tragically Hip have managed to pull the same trick with me with each new release. Even though Music @ Work has been out for a year or so, I only enjoyed the title track.

Until I started listening to it a lot. Now I love it.

The same thing has happend with every previous album clear back to Fully Completely: At first listen I don't like the music, but after a few revolutions of the album it becomes a regular selection in my playlist.

Now I have Music @ Work on infinite loop. It isn't their best album, but I'm sold on it as a solid musical effort.

How does this band keep luring me in like this?
