'' (or '''''Music @ Work''''') is the seventh full-length
Album by
Canadian Rock Band The Tragically Hip . It was released in
2000 (see
2000 In Music ).
The album's title comes from the slogan of a
Toronto soft rock station,
EZRock . Its use is meant to be ironic; the first line of the title track is "Everything is bleak, it's the middle of the night/you're all alone and the dummies might be right." The music video for "Music at Work" is filmed in the lobby of
Commerce Court North, part of the headquarters of the Canadian bank
CIBC .
Much like their previous album, ''
Phantom Power '', it had decent sales in Canada, but among hard-core followers of the Hip it is widely considered to be their weakest album of recent years.
After the album was released, singer
Gordon Downie released a solo album of
Music and
Poetry called ''
Coke Machine Glow ''.
All songs were written by The Tragically Hip.
