Parade Magazine

Magazine's three-disc box set is a mess. Breaking the group's history down to two eras spread across the first two-thirds of the box and adding a fantastic and well-needed third disc dedicated solely to Peel Sessions, it's yet another multi-disc package that half-pleases both fan and neophyte. Only four of the 45 tracks come directly from the band's four studio LPs. Oddly enough, seven-tenths of the decent live album Play is strewn across the first two discs.

The indie rock combo Wolf Parade formed in 2003 in Montreal. Their debut album, "Apologies to the Queen Mary", was released on Sub Pop Records in September 2005. The album title derived from an incident where the band members were removed from the ocean liner Queen Mary. Time Magazine picked "Apologies…" as one of "Canada's Most Anticipated Indie Albums Of The Year".
