Well, I'm sure that everyone here can agree that Gravity was the worst of all the OLP albums hands down. I find myself cringing at the sound of the singles as they play on the Egde (Torontos rock radio station) and listing to the old OLP cds constantly. I haven't listened to Gravity in well over 5 months. I got my best friend into OLP and he enjoys Gavity upon all others. Is the time for old school fans of OLP over?
I remember hearing Raine say once that its great Nickleback is getting so much fame but he wouldn't trade his fanbase for anything. Well, Im afraid thats what happened. I find myself listeneing to Gravitys songs once befroe getting sick of them (BBTS and Not Enough not encluded) when I can easly listen to any of the previous 4 albums fifty times over and still love it just as much as the first.
What brought this along? What caused such an outrage that we call Gravity?
I am and will be an avid OLP fan. I WILL be there when they come to town and I will stand beside them no matter what they do in respect for Naveed, Clumsy, Happiness, and Spiritual Machines.
But we have to ask... why?

Gravity is done and over with. A lot of fans seemed to enjoy their new song Not Afraid. I'm more interested in what their next album will sound like than why Gravity was Gravity.

Am I the only one who thinks gravity is not that bad.....in fact i listen to it more than Clumsy thats for sure. I can listen to all the albums beginning to end like 1000 times over and not get sick of any of them. I think the next album will rock though....hopefully it includes Not Afraid and Our Time Is Fading, and 10 more awesome rock songs.....cant wait.........and everyone stop hating gravity....its actually pretty good!!!!!!!!!!
Is there something good, something more?
Is there anything worth dying for?

InUnison put it the exact way i felt when gravity came out, it's a very good rock album and is all quality work, but it's not a good OLP album

It's just coincidence that oil men will wage war in an oil rich land
And this one goes out to my man taking cover in the trenches with a gun in his hand
Then gets home and no one flinches when he can't feed his fam...

Ok, let me claer a few things up. Yes, it was my opinion (even tho I didnt really word it that way). And it is old news (thank god) but when I wrote that earlier today i was in a pretty pissed off mood. In all Gravity was not a bad rock album. With songs like All for you, BBTS, etc, I have to say that it was still better then what alot of people are producing today. When I say that it was a bad album, Im talking compared to the other albums.
And now the whole Gravity subject for me is dropped.
I come to these sites to celebrate the love for OLP we all share, not to bash what we can and I hope noone feels hostile towards me. I am actually a really laid back person but like I said I was mad and this is the first thing I looked up when I got home. Sorry if I offended anyone about what I said about it. After all, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
And of course I remember you Suz

I liked Gravity. Sure, it's no Happiness... or anything, but it's still a good cd. Most bands out there would kill to release a cd like this one. It may not be as complete as a Spiritual Machines, but it's better than anything we could do on here.
Theo. Shut up. If the person wanted to know our feelings on the cd, he could have checked the other threads about how people think Gravity is the devil.

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
Did you just call Alan "bitch"?
