  Building on their earlier success, Fully Completely deepens The Tragically Hip’s exploration of Canadian identity with dark stories from lost places within those vast borders. This is where the Hip fully locked into the balance between bar-band force and literary ambition that made them unique. Gord Downie’s lyrics move through history, surreal imagery, humor, and emotional fragmentation without sounding pretentious or detached from the music’s momentum. “Courage,” “At the Hundredth Meridian,” and “Locked in the Trunk of a Car” remain powerful because the band gives the songs real physical drive underneath the words. A cold wind blowing over your private parts.
