I agree about Vancouver. It has some good parts, and a few great tracks, but overall was one of Matt's weaker solo albums. However, thematically it was very consistent in sound, and some people enjoyed it, so I can't knock people for liking it even if I didn't as much. Trust me that Arrows of Desire is one of his best ever. One song in particular (Garden of Knives) is knock-your-socks-off great, it's so strong and intense. He really knocked it out of the park with the studio editing on this one. Whereas Vancouver felt kind of hollow with some empty spaces, this one feels rich with sound. I also agree that he has much more luxury in terms of the creative process than OLP. He does all the writing and instrument planning himself, and then simply hires his live band (which changes every few years) to help him record (and provide input as well). What I like (and what lots of people don't know) is that most of the guys from the original Matthew Good Band have rejoined him over the years to play again and help create music. That's awesome.

I am sorry but I obviously like Our Lady Peace alot more than you people - maybe I just hate 98 per cent of most music since the year 2000 - but I never really started buying Our Lady Peace records until 2002, up to then I had just been listening to them on the radio, and I really didn't like Gravity at all.
So its bitter for me, because just as I think Our Lady Peace were getting to their best - they go and take years of and start releasing mundane music, some of it unbearable.
Well whatever - can't wait till the next one......

govtschemes wrote:To say Bob Rock doesn't have influence over Our Lady Peace is foolish, he does, because I have yet to see Our Lady Peace even return to their experimental style of music they were doing on the first 3 albums.
