The World According to Gob by Gob
The World According to Gob is an album by Gob, released in 2001. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “I Hear You Calling”, on 3 lists with a best position of #48.
The World According to Gob, the third album from the Langley, British Columbia punk band Gob, is the one that put them over: it went gold in Canada in 2002 and stands as the band's most successful record. Tom Thacker handles guitar and lead vocals, and the songs come fast and bratty, sugar-rush punk with big melodic choruses and a pop streak a mile wide.
It was a singles machine, too: "I Hear You Calling", "For the Moment" and "No Regrets", plus "That's the Way" as a radio-only single. "I Hear You Calling" had so much life in it that the band cut it again for their next album, Foot in Mouth Disease, and it later turned up in sports video games.
