World Container by The Tragically Hip
World Container is an album by The Tragically Hip, released in 2006. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 9 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “In View”, on 5 lists with a best position of #10.
World Container, the Tragically Hip's tenth album, came out in Canada on October 17, 2006, with Bob Rock producing and sessions scattered from Maui to Vancouver to Toronto. The Kingston band sound lean and loud under Rock's hand: Rob Baker and Paul Langlois lock their guitars together, Gord Sinclair and Johnny Fay drive the bottom end, and Gord Downie sings like a man with a secret. He even joked from the stage that the title was a typo for "World Contain Her".
"In View" went out first and hit number one on Billboard's Canada Rock chart, and "The Lonely End of the Rink" got the most Canadian premiere imaginable, on Hockey Night in Canada. "Fly" had been kicking around for a while: Downie was already reciting pieces of it in the middle of "At the Hundredth Meridian" at the 2004 Toronto show that became That Night in Toronto.
