Match-up #63 - Nautical Disaster Vs. Locked In The Trunk Of A Car
I ask you to listen to the two songs in the match-up Back to Back, and consider the lyrics of the song. Feel free to post an unbiased analysis of both songs in this thread, but please refrain from cheerleading or making predictions for your favourites.

This local freebie weekly has been shoutin' out the mad praise for the Hip for years. I remember first reading about the Hip in '92 as the gig of the week. They've had many gushing blurbs since then. Here's a link to the latest:

Thanks to Lance Robinson for the song titles.

There were lots of microphone check "Hey! HEY! Yeah!"s and a lot of apparent microphone placement. Pretty sure there were about ten to twelve tracks total with about half of them being songs...

Anyone know what I'm talking about? I lost my copy and would love to se it up on the tracker...

Who opened for the Hip in Cincinnati in August of 1996? I was there, but I can't remember for the life of me...and now it's bugging me. Thanks in advance.

For those of us who were part of the early Hip trading community and FTP back in the day, the early leak of M@W was such a huge gift seeing as we had it months before it actually released. This gave us the opportunity to grow attached to the songs before the huge tour they did for that album.

This was also the album tour that I saw the most shows for (six or seven dates).

Just listening to it this morning and I've instantly been trasnported back to my last days in Montreal...

Which album do you most closely identify with?
