New Album news!!

[A2K]

I wonder if they'll make Robin an official member at the same time they add a new drummer?

http://www.thezone.fm/now/newmusic-our-lady-peace/ posted by MattCTUSA in the other thread...interview with Raine and also with "Won't Turn Back" in the middle...i heard Won't Turn Back and maybe we can extract a better version (in terms of quality) respect the one from the edge!

So I reached out to my local alternative station last night and asked them if they'd heard the new single. The DJ said he hadn't heard about it but that he'd give it a listen and get back to me. They played it at their music meeting this morning and decided it's not alternative enough for the station and would probably do better on pop/adult channels. I'm disappointed, but while I disagree that it doesn't fit with what they've been playing lately (there are several songs by alternative artists that sound like they belong on the local Top 40 channels), I do agree that the single is not really that alternative.

Guess I'll just have to content myself with listening to the album when it comes out, and requesting the "old school" OLP on the radio when I can.

Just want me some of that iTunes version because I can't stand Mr. Radio DJ talking over the intro.

[Flynner]

I really like the picture for the cover art...except for the writing for our lady peace

[Teedus]

Never thought I'd see the day when OLP was written in rainbow colours.

[OLPManiac]

Am I the only that like this artwork? However for people that listened to the iTunes rip...is there something "new" on the song respect the radio rip?

[Flynner]

Nothing new that I noticed, just better quality

Yeah I thought the lettering was strange, and really not a fit with the band. Meh.

[DG]

Yeah... That styling of OLP is not my favorite thing ever. Well, at all. I do like the contrast it was going for, tho.

Interesting interview...about the new album i'm curious about this statement:
"Maida adds that it’s a pretty good barometer for the album to come (referring to Won't Turn Back), while stating that it certainly won’t be Curve or Clumsy Part Two. He explains that the band have embraced a sound that is more catchy rhythmically, has a danceability to it, all the while maintaining an aggressive underlying tone. It’s not “fluffy,” he assures."
Well we need only to wait guys! And he doesn't tell nothing about a new drummer...however i'm not afraid of Elizondo..i read that he is also the producer of Avenged Sevenfold that for me is a great band (can you listen the new single from the last album "Hail to the king", of course is another genre totally different from OLP)...i'm afraid (like we can read on the interview) of the new direction that the band want to take! Let's see what happen..

[matt292]

That's a pretty good interview! He seems really enthusiastic about the new material

"another really amazing song we’ve recorded is called ‘Falling into Place,’” he offers. “It’s about all of the experience you have in life and everything you encounter – the struggles especially – and taking all of that in stride. That’s part of life, man. If it was easy, you’d be bored."

"" three songs, [“Won’t Turn Back”] included, that are three of my favourite OLP songs that we’ve recorded in a long time. I don’t know how it happened, but the reaction’s been amazing."


Interesting stuff!

[RileyLewis]

If their goal is to put out an album that is catchy and you can dance to...that is discouraging.

Raine had announced a week or so before on Twitter or Instagram that a new song was done and would coming out shortly, but yeah it was not a widespread announcement. Easy to miss, or to write off due to the usual Raine/OLP time delays.

I think that Trusty did the art for the single, but it sounds like they're squeezing work in just whenever the new producer has time and don't really have a firm timeline/plan for the album. Releasing Won't Turn Back right now seems to be more to soften the blow of Jeremy leaving, rather than to kickstart the promotion cycle for the next album, and I don't expect to hear a whole lot until their plans have solidified a little bit.

I put the song on youtube after a "trusted authorization"...it gots yet 600 viewers in 2 days (i'm not an official channel)....it's interesting to see like some people dislike the song and commented that the band is almost finished...of course all of you can join the discussion! I'm trying to answer to all

[A2K]

You know, OLP has always been a pop band, and quite frankly they've always been damn good at it. Aside from U2 and Bon Jovi there are few bands that have reinvented themselves with the quality that OLP has and it's the only reason their still around. If Clumsy sounded like Naveed they would have disappeared. If Gravity sounded like Spiritual Machines they would have dissapeared.

Each of their albums with the exception of Curve has been a direct reflection of that time in popular rock music, and it is no coincidence that the affore mentioned album is the only one without a hit single, and I don't mean that as a knock on Curve it was a fine album but it was the diversion not Won't Turn Back, most of us probably feel that OLP was best around the Happiness.. And Spiritual Machines era, but those albums were not a huge experiment when compared to Smashing Pumpkins or Radio Head it just so happens that pop music was better in those days.
