Music @ Work

Released in the spring of 2000, Music @ Work was an eclectic work of musical genres, swinging from the soft folk of "The Completists" to the almost grunge-rock tracks "Tiger the Lion" and "The Bastard." From front to back, this album is one of the Hip's heavier works, and for that reason it earned the band its 12th Juno Award, this time for best rock album. At a time when the grungy sound of bands like Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains was falling out of style, the Tragically Hip managed to achieve great success with its chunky guitar tone and abstract lyricism, earning them platinum status, twice over, in Canada.
