"In View" kicked off The Tragically Hip's tenth studio album, World Container, going out ahead of it as the lead single in August 2006, and it's a tight, bright, radio-sized rocker with Bob Rock producing. All five members share the writing credit, and it sounds like a band pulling in one direction: Rob Baker and Paul Langlois lock their electric guitars together, Gord Sinclair and Johnny Fay keep the floor solid, and guest Jamie Edwards adds keyboards while Gord Downie rides over the top, wiry and urgent.
At home it went all the way, topping Billboard's Canada Rock chart as well as the Canada Rock Top 30 in Radio & Records.
