Sound: Our Lady Peace has redeemed themselves from "Healthy In Paranoid Times" with their great new album, "Curve". Not that "HIPT" was a bad album, just not what most listeners wanted to hear. What really makes OLP interesting is that they try new sounds and styles with every album. Maida says that this album is what the band has been trying to sound like for years. The chords are beautiful, the progressions are superb, and every minute detail within each song fits so perfectly together...

It is difficult to approach an album such as Curve. At least it is for me. My high school years pre-getting absorbed in punk and post-hardcore were spent listening to songs on the radio and watching a lot of VH1 on Saturday mornings. While I enjoyed a number of bands from said era, Our Lady Peace was one of the first I would be inclined to say I went head over heels for. There was, and always has been, something different about this band that brought me back to them through the years...

Our Lady peace had a hell of a four-album run to open their career. 1994's Naveed burst the act into the mainstream within the confines of their native Canada, with help from singles such as "Birdman" and the record's title track. Clumsy followed and catapulted the quartet onto rock radio stateside on the heels of "Superman's Dead". Things then got interesting as 1999's Happiness .....

Sound: 'So they have a new guitarist, it sounds the same to me.' I said that during the piano-driven opening seconds of 'All For You', the first track on Our Lady Peace's fifth album, Gravity. I felt at ease, safe, knowing that good ol' OLP (Our Lady Peace) had produced another emotionally zany CD filled to the brim with jazzy drums and Mike Turner's jangling guitars. Needless to say, my security was soon dashed, enter Steve Mazur...

Sound: Spiritual Machines, the fourth album from Canadian band, Our Lady Peace, is the greatest album the band has ever produced in terms of creativity. The record has a little but of everything the band has ever produced in the past. It's also the last album that Mike Turner (ex-guitarist) worked on with the band. 01. Right Behind You (Mafia) - a great choice for the first song on the album. This track is bursting with power and puts you right in the mood for the rest of the record...

Sound: This is the newest album from an awesome band. It took like 2 years to make this album and it's pretty good. The guitar is great and the drums are great as always, but I dunno, the songs just weren't quite as catchy as their previous albums in my opinion. // 8 Lyrics and Singing: Raine writes some great lyrics, and the words always have awesome rhythm. He's an extremely talented singer and a great songwriter. // 10 Impression: This is pretty new, OLP is quite innovative...

Sound: Rarely has there ever been as cohesive and slick a debut album as 'Naveed' by Our Lady Peace. That is to say that Our Lady Peace, while caught in an era of post-grunge, comes off as extremely polished and heavy. From the unnerving opening riff of 'The Birdman' to the stormy crunch of 'Neon Crossing' Our Lady Peace rarely lets up...

Sound: Our Lady Peace did a great theme with this album soundwise. Tracks like Thief and Waited capture a more polished side of the band even though most of this album is not very polished and smooth. Tracks like Annie, Lying Awake, Concequences of Laughing and Is Anybody Home capture some of the most upbeat and unique sounds Our Lady Peace has produced...

Sound: The sound of the music is pretty well put together and it flows well. The music really goes well with the lyrics and all. In "carnival", the music sounds exactly like a carnival, with the light drum beats over and over and the guitar that creates a perfect image of a carnival. On the other hand,about raine's voice you can either love it or f--ckin' think it's the most damn annoying thing on earth. I like it, but I know people who think it's like a cat whining...
