I'm listening to Our Lady Peace

Don't really know them well enough to comment, I'm just getting into them now.

I've had Life on a CD for a couple of years though, great track!

Come say hi on twitter @MattMerritt

Spiritual Machines i'm not big on either, but there are a couple of tracks from it i like. Clumsy, Happiness, and Healthy in Paranoid Times...i liked all 3 of those though.

Yeah, I'd agree with that. The later albums do have some decent tracks on them, but they just aren't as consistant, and don't 'flow' as well as Naveed. They were great live though (funnily enough, they opened with Naveed which was fantastic! Big Grin)

I've only seen OLP live once and that was in Moncton with The Hip and The Stones. OLP's live show didn't really impress in Moncton. Raine was shaky. The drums sounded great but overall, OLP didn't leave a lasting impression on me. Maybe it was just a mediocore show for them, I dunno.

They are hit and miss live, unfortunately they miss more often. Ive seen them 5 or 6 times and some shows were awesome and others were crap. I get that from a lot of other fans as well. Raine just isnt a live kind of singer, he tends to oversing and stray too far from his mic at times. The rest of the band is pretty good, Taggert can really pound the kit.

Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”

I was a pretty big OLP fan back in high school, but they lost me after Mike Turner left. Saw them in conert a few times and thought they put on a pretty good live show at the time, but the last time I saw them was probably in 2000 or 2001 so I can't comment on what they're like now. And I agree with everyone who said that Naveed is their best album, for me it is the only one that has stood the test of time...

I wasn't really impressed with OLP in Magnetic Hill opening for the Stones either. A friend of mine is a fan, and he wasn't really impressed with them either opening for the Stones, but he went to see them in Moncton a few months later on their arena tour & said they were amazing.
