Question for Tragically Hip fans

I found there cd titled "Up to Here" several years ago and love every song on it. Recently I've picked up their latest titled "in Violet Light". These have a totally different sound, doesn't even sound like the same band to me. The "Violet Light" cd is a far more mellow sound. I prefer the rock sound of "Up to Here". Do any of you know if any of there other cd's sound similar to the "Hip" tunes I am used to? Maybe even where to get them, they are hard to come by.

Yes, the albums are good, but THE LIVE SHOWS ARE WHAT
IT'S ALL ABOUT. I have seen them live 34 times, mostly
in the U.S. at smaller venues. They allow taping of thier
shows like PHISH and other jambands. There are many
great recordings of live shows out there. Gordie is
the most inspired LIVE SHOWMAN since Jim Morrison.
I haven't ever been the same since my first
show at COYOTE'S in Tucson, Arizona. "THE TRAGICALLY HIP
PUT THE ROCK 'N' ROLL INTO ROCK 'N' ROLL!!"

It's really too bad how underappreciated this band is in the USA, it really just boggles my mind how its even possible for a band this good to go unnoticed. BTW if you're Canadian and haven't heard any of the Hip's music, shame on you cause they're national icons. And oh yeah, Steelhead knows whats going on here. Peace.

The Hip's first four Albums are their best, but without a doubt they pale to a live Hip concert.The band is absolutely at their best.The energy is scarey. You MUST see them live to appreciate their power.Best Songs? Three way tie.
