Product Description

We've been keeping an eye on Our Lady Peace for a few years now, and their widescreen melodies and spine-crunching riffs have rarely let us down. At the same time, we always knew this band were capable of so much more. With Gravity, the Toronto quartet finally deliver their big rock album. Working with producer Bob Rock, the man who took Metallica mainstream, Our Lady Peace have come up with 10 songs that channel their therapeutic thunder to remarkable effect. "I wasted too much time," sings Raine Maida on the passionate "Sorry." The expert playing and towering choruses of slow-burners like "Somewhere Out There" and "Sell My Soul" make up for it, as the front man--part Chad Kroeger, part Jeff Buckley--finally comes across as a force to reckon with. --Aidin Vaziri

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.,
By Inkogneato (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gravity (Audio CD)
I'm not sure why I decided to write a review of this Album two years after it's release, but I guess this would be more of an opinion of the band's current sound as a whole, as opposed to the tracks on this album.I've been a die-hard OLP fan since the release of Naveed, until now that is. Any true OLP fan knows that the band was always at it's best when not over produced and the music not too thought-out...when the tracks just came together as they did on Naveed and Spiritual Machines. These albums just seemed more...raw, more edgy. There was one member who undoubtedly influenced this aspect of OLP's music - former guitarist Mike Turner. There are only a couple of tracks on this album for which he is credited and you can still hear his influence on them. Why did Mike leave? Though I've never been able to find a difinitive answer (other than the standard "atristic differences"), I've come to assume that it resulted from Raine's (and the record label - Sony) desire to make the music more accessible (meaning, alter the sound) to the masses and go after the American market - more money, even though the band was wildly successful here at home. Mr. Turner, apparently was more worried about his artisitic integrity than breaking into new markets. Hooray for him. Though I will never disparage Raine's lyrical or vocal talents, nor those of Mr. Turner's replacement Steve Mazur, I can't say that I'm a fan anymore. Mike took the soul of he band when he left. I can't blame him for not wanting to put his name on the watered-down, popped-up, whiny version of a formerly great sound that exists today.

Great, but a step back,

This review is from: Gravity (Audio CD)
This is a solid rock album. But it's not as good as their previous effort "Spiritual Machines". The sound has more bottom to it (thanks to Bob Rock -- or no thanks?) but at the same time it isn't heavier, which is strange. At first I was very disappointed with the album (I have all their previous recordings), but it eventually grew on me. However, if this is a new direction for the band, I don't know if I like where it's going.

Good OLP record,
By Anthony "RSG" (NB, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gravity (Audio CD)
The songs are almost all good, a very few as excellent, and most are just great. Personally for thirty-six minutes of music, I felt robbed for paying $18.99 . It really wasn't worth the asking price, but if you're a devoted fan of the band, then of course you'll buy it, and you will like it. I've heard a couple other songs from the band a while back, that I really like, even more so than most on this album. I really think they either rushed (or were rushed by the record company which can happen, (look at Meat Loaf) into making this album, or they don't have enough talent to put more on the disc. Don't get me wrong, it is a great album, overall, but when it all comes down to it, you really should be paying $12.00 at the most!!The tracks that came to mind are, made of steel, innocent, somewhere out there, not enough, bring back the sun. To sum it all up in a sentence, a short album with all nice tracks but lacks work.
