they went from writing ground-breaking original sounding hard rocking music to making watered down uninspired radio fodder. they went from making bold artistic statements with their albums and the accompanying artwork, to having virtually no artistic merit and a big picture of themselves on the cover of their last cd. WTF happened to sol? this was the band that shot short films just for their tour, and now their music videos are like fucking cell-phone commercials, pure and utter garbage. as far as i'm concerned OLP ended when Mike Turner left, everybody knows that he was the driving force behind the band, and when he left it all went straight down the crapper.

Yeah, Mike Turner was a big part of the good sound they had going. On the new CD, the only songs I could get into were the ones that he had writing credits on.
Another thing though, is that with the new album, they switched producers. Naveed, Clumsy, Happiness and Spiritual Machines were ALL produced by Arnold Lanni, the new one is from Bob Rock.
I'd actually heard rumours that Arnold Lanni was the real creative genius behind OLP's albums and that he more or less told the band what to do. I even heard that Raine was the only musician from the band who actually is on the recording of Naveed.
It sounds crazy I know, but the exact same thing happened with Finger 11. They had two albums with Arnold Lanni that were pretty great in my opinion, and then when they left Arnold, they totally changed their style to something a little more...pop.
All speculation of course...probably outrageous lies...
