I've been a big fan of the Hip ever since I was oh around 13 or 14 when I got my first hip CD Day for Night.
I just picked up the box set last night, and was listening to the live world premier of the release of it with the hip on the radio and it was a really good 1.5 hr segment, they played some stuff from the box set, there 2 new tracks from it and talked a bit about the live DVD "that night in Toronto"
If you looking to pickup some more albums sine your a recent fan I recommend you put the $50 down and get the box set, it is well worth it. I'm proud to say I placed my vote for what songs to make the box set online a few months back

And there are quite a few American's who do like the hip, you would be surprised, I have a few friends in the states as far as texas and south cali and there big hip fans.
