you most likely have but don't realize it. download 'downtime' or 'the first day of spring'. they are an awesome band! i remember liking them right around the time i discovered our lady peace, but haven't really heard of them since.

Definitely Spiritual Machines. It was the first OLP album I ever bought, I remember seeing the video to "In Repair" and thinking (actually more like recognizing) "Hey, it's Our Lady Peace!". But it wasn't until I saw the video to "Life" that I made it my mission to get that album...I just totally related to that song at the time. In gr. 10, I did an English presentation on "Made to Heal" and to this day "In Repair" remains as my favourite OLP song.

A very close second is Happiness..."Is Anybody Home?" is my favourite OLP video..that was when I started paying attention to the band. The entire album is just great..."Thief" has made me cry a few times and I rarely ever cry when listening to a song. I don't like "Waited", though..so that's probably why this album doesn't surpass SM for me.

As for Clumsy and Naveed...I still like those albums..but I like them less. The songs are good it's just I haven't been in the mood for the longest time to listen to them. I appreciate Gravity more..there are some really good songs on that album such as "Bring Back the Sun" and I don't think it's such a bad thing to have one album where Raine's voice is "normal". Gravity is probably more experimental than SM in OLP's case. :lol:
And if I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
What's wrong

Wait, your post confuses me... SM was the first OLP album you bought, but Happiness was when you started really paying attention to them? You *do* realize that SM came out after Happiness right?

... or am I missing something? :Johnathan:

I think it was just written out of order.

She really liked the singles from Happiness, and so when they came out with Spiritual Machines, she was like "hey, its that band I like" and bought the album. Then she bought Happiness later.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

I don't like "Waited", though


are you kidding me? i think waited is one of the more musically pleasing songs on that CD, it easily couldve been a single.

Yeah, that's what I meant. IAH made me recognize OLP but it wasn't until SM that I became a fan.

"Waited" is just blah..maybe it's the tune but I just don't like that song. :lol:
