Living in Canada, going to high school around the time Sloan was being played to death on MuchMusic etc. I had to vote crap. They were a StuPar fave and fodder for assembly cover bands....

They do have a few good songs that I remember, maybe I should give them a fresh chance...

I agree with everyone's opines on "never hear the end of it." I was skeptical when I heard the premise for the last lp but it really slays the last 2. They hit a block of like 8 songs about 2/3 in that just whomp me over the head. solid n/c.

On another forum, I wrote:I met Sloan after their latest Saskatoon show and had an awkward conversation with Chris and Patrick, the latter of whom was trying to hit on a few ladies. See, I was getting my copy of Never Hear The End Of It signed and because I don't like just gettin' regular autographs I asked them to sign in the liners beside their favourite songs. Chris seemed interested and marked it down gladly, thanked me for telling him he put on an awesome show (which he did - if you can see Sloan live, do yourself a favour), and then signed my brother's CD because my brother suddenly became a chicken and didn't want to bother him. The conversation proceeded to go like this:

"So who's this for?"
My brother.
"Oh, is he at home or something?"
No, he's just over there. (wait why would you say that john)
"Oh. Why didn't he come over?"
I uh, I guess he just got nervous.
"I don't know why. I'm not a mean guy."
*awkward silence*
Yeah, sorry. Thanks for signing my CD though. Come back and play for us again!
"Sure thing."

Whereas Chris seemed to like the idea of signing beside his favourite song, Patrick seemed pissed off. Not because the idea was bad and not because I was interrupting his time with the ladies - signing autographs seemed to score him points with them, actually - but because, in his words, "I'm not signing someone else's song."

Under his breath, he mumbled, "Only got four fuckin' songs on the album anyways."

Funny this thread got dredged up at this particular time.
I've been off the forums for a few days because I was in Toronto interviewing, drinking & eating with Sloan.
Kismet, I guess.

Great guys.
One of my favorite bands of all time.

Very generous with their time. I can't say enough good things about them.

poor Jay. He wrote four kickass songs for that record. He does look like the one everyone would pick on, though.
