Product Description
Product Description
"Coalition Music recording artists Our Lady Peace have proven to be fighters in the nearly two decades since they first burst onto the scene with the Modern Rock anthem, ?Starseed.? Fittingly, the new single - the chart-topping Rock Radio hit, Heavyweight - and the album cover art (featuring a youthful former Canadian Heavyweight champ in one George Chuvalo) for the band`s eighth studio recording, curve, are themed accordingly.? There's something about being beaten up and being able to get up, dust yourself off and feel like you can take on the world again,"" says vocalist/lyricist and founding member Raine Maida about the new album, which was once again recorded in Toronto and his own L.A. home recording studio with co-producer Jason Lader. Lader's impressive r‚sum‚ includes production work on Jay-Z's ""99 Problems,"" along with Mars Volta, Julian Casablancas, Rilo Kiley, & Elvis Costello. ""This feels the most like it did in the early days,"" says drummer Jeremy Taggart, who has bee"

Seems like forever waiting for this album, and much of it is hit and miss. Allowance, Fire In the Henhouse, Heavyweight, As Fast As You Can and Rabbits are all pretty good songs, but the rest is quite slow and lacklustre. The power and emotion of the old OLP is still missing, and from what I can tell Maida's vanishing falsetto only appears in the verses of Heavyweight and Allowance (better than none at all, I guess). Overall this is still a solid album and the music is still very impressive in comparison to almost all other music today.

If you are a fan of Our Lady Peace definitely buy this CD! It is different from there previous CDs, new style for them . . . Features the hit "Heavyweight" and there's bound to be more songs on the CD that will certainly appeal to you.

Lack of Grunge and Heart has me wishing for Raine's Aye-eee-aye-eee-aye-eee-yeah wail

I love Our Lady Peace and, as a huge fan, I own every cd. I love OLP's first four cds the best and the last four have seemed much... tamer. Curve is no different. My favourite song on Curve is "Heavyweight" and I'd hoped I would love the other songs just as much, but no, Curve isn't like previous albums where I find hidden gems not played on the radio (though I rather enjoyed "Fire in the Henhouse" since it sounded a bit more like the old and beloved OLP). I miss Raine's grungy vocals from OLP's earliest cds, no songs on Curve are reminiscent of "Superman's Dead". Curve is definitely more mainstream than OLP's older albums, with no grunge and little rock, it has an experimental sound mixed with ballads and lots of pop. A decent cd, but a bit of a disappointment for fans like me wishing for a return to rock.

FIGHT BACK
Ok this album has been a long time coming, like most fans I love the first four OLP albums. For me Spiritual Machines is the best album ever made. Read more

OLP is Back
Like many OLP fans, I was very dissapointed with their last two albums (even the earlier work on Curve was leading me to expect another resoundingly mediocre album to throw in my... Read more

Going....Going.....Gone.
Is this really the same band that produced amazing albums like Naveed, Clumsy, Happiness, Spiritual Machines and Gravity? There's no intensity in these songs at all. Read more

Solid album - from a long time OLP fan.
I've been a fan of OLP since 'Naveed' was released in '94. Like many fans, I can say that their first four albums are easily and by far their best (Naveed, Clumsy, Happiness.... Read more

As Expected, It's Pretty Mellow And Boring
I have been a fan of Our Lady Peace since "Naveed" was released in the U.S. But my love for OLP has dwindled since they released "Healthy In Paranoid Times". Read more
