    If this is the final record from the Tragically Hip, then let’s congratulate the band for going out as fiercely inventive and committed as when it came into the world.

    Man Machine Poem is the Tragically Hip's most cohesive release since at least Music @ Work.

    Usually the album is quietly roiling, sometimes drifting toward the meditative (as on the otherwise profane "Tired as F***"), yet always circling back to fierce, searching spiritual rock.

    Like all Hip records, this is a snapshot of a band constantly moving away from their past and toward a strange musical unknown.
