Fully Completely
The Tragically Hip
1992
- Album Summary
This album has been submitted by a user and is not included in any edition of the book.
Fully Completely is the third studio album by Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip. The album was released in October 1992 and produced by Chris Tsangarides. The album produced six singles: "Locked in the Trunk of a Car", "Fifty Mission Cap", "Courage (For Hugh MacLennan)", "At the Hundredth Meridian", "Looking for a Place to Happen", and "Fully Completely".
The cover art for Fully Completely was designed by Dutch artist Lieve Prins. Prins was given the idea of a "bacchanalian sort of scene – lots of decadence, decay and rebirth," by Hip guitarist Rob Baker, and was left to work with the idea. Prins also drew inspiration from I ching symbols and numbers. The final artwork was created using a Canon colour photocopier. The cover consists of 30 segmented photocopied images pasted together. The band was granted licensing privileges to the artwork, but Prins retained the ownership of the actual artwork. In the late 1990s, the Tragically Hip bought the piece from a gallery in Los Angeles. It now hangs prominently in their studio near Kingston, Ontario.
At the 2017 Polaris Music Prize, the album won the public vote for the Heritage Prize in the 1986-1995 category.

Not a bad album. Not an award winner, but there's nothing awful going on by any means. Same sorta vibe as the first Live album, funnily enough - almost a cross between Spin Doctors and the Screaming Trees. I think the only real downside to it is that, much like the first Live album, all the songs blend together and by the end I couldn't remember any of it. But it was pleasant enough. 4/5.

Great album by the Hip. On this record the band is a guitar rock powerhouse. A little more consistent, but also a bit less raw than Road Apples. Nearly every song is good, highlights are Courage and Eldorado.

I’ve heard of this band but can’t recall ever hearing any songs. Anyway this album was pretty entertaining rock.

It still boggles my mind that there is no Tragically Hip on the original list. Maybe the biggest oversight of this whole project. 4 stars.

Well-played, expressive grunge era rock that has aged well. I don't have much to critique other than that stylistically some of the songs kind of blur together for me, to the point of being unmemorable.
Fave Songs: Wheat Kings, Pigeon Camera, Courage (for Hugh MacLennan), Locked in the Trunk of a Car, Looking for a Place to Happen

Some nice grunge elements here and there, but nothing wholly notable once the full LP has come to a conclusion. This one seems stuck in 2nd gear, the solid chugging riffs never giving way to the explosive chorus they build towards.
