Detractors might find their arty whims--from an album saluting the Group of Seven (Music Inspired by the Group of Seven) to a disc soundtracking a children's story (1999's The Story of Harmelodia)--off-putting, but no other Canadian band has so successfully blended so many disparate influences, from country to punk to folk to pop. Introducing Happiness, the group's fourth proper album, is a sprawling, complex record offering both instant pleasures--the title track, the much too beautiful \"Claire,\" \"Me and Stupid\"--and layered tunes requiring time and patience. Of the latter there is almost no end on this 22-song monster, from opener \"Fan Letter to Michael Jackson\" to a strikingly different cover of Jane Siberry's \"One More Colour,\" and from \"Cephallus Worm\/Uncle Henry\" (perhaps the weirdest track these weirdos have ever recorded) to the closing fever dream \"Onilley's Strange Dream.\" An album as rewarding as a good novel, Introducing Happiness is further proof that the Rheostatics are a national treasure whose influence will be felt for as long as young Canadians play guitars. --Shawn Conner\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 093624567028\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0093624567028\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e CDW45670\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47401062203651,"sku":"WS-1C38-N4BV","price":3.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/71QE8PrBqdL.jpg?v=1762445089","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/introducing-happiness","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
