Scroll down to see the other Weakerthans CD's and Weakerthans concert review. On the right are the four Weakerthans Webisodes check them out!

Just a couple weeks ago the Weakerthans released their latest CD "Reunion Tour." It is probably the best CD yet, they also made four funny webisodes about making the CD's, I have all four of them posted on the right they are VERY funny! The first song Civil Twilight about a bus driver in Winnipeg who, every evening around twilight has to pass a house that something very bad happened. He might have seen something or someone for the last time or made a mistake and he was thinking about how hard it would be to do that. The third song is called "Relative Surplus Value" which is about a downfall of a compnay. A really funny song that they talk about in one of the Webisodes is called "Tournament of Hearts" which is obviously about curling any Canadian would know that but for those USians curling is a sport in which you throw a rock a try to get it in a ring of circles, it may sound boring but apparently the average Canadian curls at least four times a week. John K Samson even curls two times a week when he's not on tour. Probably two of my favourite songs on the CD are called "Sun in an Empty Room" and Night Windows." I think that "Sun in an Empty Room" has some very nice harmony and that "Night Windows" is quite haunting. Some other songs on the album include a song about someone who saw Bigfoot and about the countless bands that have gone on Reunion Tours.

Once again this is a VERY good CD and please watch the very funny Webisodes on the right.
