Wrath of Khanna's Album of the Week: Twice Removed by Sloan

First off, if you're gonna make Bucky nominations today, I suggest you vote for "Best Video" and "Best Live Act," okay? Secondly, I'm going "old" and "Canadian" this week! This is rare but, in honour of their special appearance at HPX tomorrow night, I've chosen Sloan's Twice Removed as my Album of the Week and you can win a CD copy of it by listening closely to today's show.
To Sloan's own befuddlement, critics and fans generally seem to agree that Twice Removed is the band's best album. Kinda like the Beatles' initial ascent after landing in America (hey, I said "kinda." Take it easy), I think this has as much to do with fortune and timing, as it does the fact that the album is amazing. Twice Removed arrived at a formative point for my generation, kinda post-grunge and its dreary, sarcastic nihilism. We needed something that was clever and edgy but also had some sincerity and refinement to it, and Sloan, themselves in transition artistically, more than fit the bill. The record was a pain in the ass for them to make (their label was not happy with their new "pop" direction) and so, I think they have mixed feelings about it. At the same time, they realize it means the world to people and are performing it in its entirety at HPX this week.
