Can anyone p.m. me the new track they previewed? I’m getting antsy and jealous of those who might be getting three new tracks. lol

About when Better Than Here was recorded, I'm guessing it was fairly early in the HIPT sessions. I remember someone from the band, I think it was Raine, saying that it was done when they were still considering recording the entire album live off the floor. They enjoyed the vibe of the song and that ...

OLP's official facebook account also mentioned a big announcement to come and said that 2014 would be a busy year. Whatever this is, I get a feeling that it involves more than a remastered album release. Originally I'd thought b-sides/rarities album to tide people over until the next record but now ...

Our Lady Peace has grown and changed as a band – from their late 90s distinctive sound to their recent twist to the slightly more mainstream rock – it’s a band that’s moved with the times while trying to keep ...

The more I read album reviews for Curve, the more I'm convinced that "music critic" must be the easiest field in the world to get a job in. Judging by the absolutely ridiculous statements made in some of the reviews here (I'm not talking about negative opinions, I'm talking about things that just ...

I was a fan of both versions. Don't really want to give up anything in the CD version, but I do agree it could have used a little more falsetto.

Even here: m

You can can hear it a little more at the forefront in the mix during the outro. Still outstanding to me though.

I think I am in the same ...

I also meant to ask, does anyone have a link for the original version of If This Is It? There was a video on youtube of the version that someone ripped from their ustream broadcast but now I can't find it. I really just want to listen and compare it to the final version of the song.

Why would you need to download it again, though? Once you have it, what would it serve to do it again?

Well there's the possibility of the file getting corrupted or losing your internet connection while downloading for one. Also, if you lose your CD and/or your computer goes down... you don't ...

the download became available today also. Can only do one time though.

(...)

Allowance and and Fire in The Henhouse almost have that Kings Of Leon feel with the guitar. I call it the rubberband effect.

I meant to comment on the one-time download thing too. The fact that you can only download a ...

A few things about pre-ordering and some comments on the CD itself:

Bands love having pre-orders because it plays on people's "I want it now" desires. The excitement of announcing a pre-order makes people feel like they're buying the album early, even though it's only an early commitment to plop ...

The entire Curve is now on Youtube! The user is WhiteNoise417 and he put a rating for each songs! I wonder if the videos will be banned...well i think not because from today the album is released...

P.S A PM with CD quality for a poor european? thanks in advance and in every case!

You do realize ...

Anyone receive their digital copy from Rhino yet? I'm supposed to get one with the CD (which I also haven't received) and was wondering if anyone else has been more successful -- I also dunno if I have to go somewhere to download it or if it'll come via e-mail like the mp3 of Heavyweight did.

Anyone know when/how to access the digital copy of the album for those of us who pre-ordered via Rhino? Will it be up at midnight EST and, if so, do we get an e-mail or is there someplace we have to go to download it?

Just out of curiosity, has OLP ever done a full band version of Thief live? I prefered how they played it at the Cornfest and in LA this past summer with Steve on electric. It's one of my fave songs but the acoustic version just isn't as good... is there something technically difficult about pulling ...

I was hoping my pre-order would come in today as well so it's nice to hear that's a possibility. I placed mine early and usually have pretty good luck with things coming sooner than expected so hopefully I get an early surprise in the mail today too! Let us know how it sounds at CD quality!

Edit ...

Was One Man Army a new mix too or was it simply remastered as well, does anybody know?
One Man Army was a new mix, the beginning is very different, a lot of things are panned differently (drums and the sampled noises are basically reversed) while others are panned similar to the original (the ...

I think we can all see the first pressing will be great quality in terms of production, as even the low-quality web rip sounded very tight (with the exception of that one part on Find Our Way, I think).

But remastering can make a huge difference. Listen to 4AM or One Man Army on the A Decade CD vs ...

And how will we know which CDs are the better copies? I doubt iTunes or other online stores will switch tracks if new ones are released/updated. I doubt the difference will really be that great, though, at least with normal speakers/headphones.

I was wondering the same thing. I'd be very pissed ...

Instrumentally the neutered it at the end, it could have had an epic outra like the live version had, but they pretty much muted it

I can kinda see that. The song just sort of dies off. Did the original not end the similarly? Did it ever have an established ending?

Also, was window seat written ...

I must say, I was disappointed with something I read in that Montreal Gazette Q&A someone posted several pages back. Jason Lader had someone he knew remaster one of the songs from the album and Raine admitted it sounded a lot better. When the journalist asked him if he'd give in and let the guy ...
