...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

I could be wrong. But there weren't many pages and lots of room seemed to be taken up with the list of numbers. We'll just have to wait and see ...
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Tons of bands release albums without lyrics in the sleeve. This doesn't decrease the quality of the album.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Hey, has anyone read this article from the Canadian Games? I dunno if anyone else has seen it but I haven't.
http://www.2005jeuxducanadagames.com/en ... s_Jul6.pdf
The snippets about OLP are down the bottom. It mentions how Raine fired Bob and Bob also quit during the sessions. Raine was unhappy with Bob compromising the artistic integrity. Interesting read.
The link doesn't work, so I'll copy and paste here.
Several years in the making, the creation of Healthy In Paranoid Times – Our Lady Peace’s sixth studio album – was at once invigorating and at other moments nearly tore the band apart. The 13 songs OLP eventually assembled for the album are some of their strongest, most infectious and most poignant to date.
"When you're a brand new band, there's a tingly sort of feeling you get when you play a song thatyou just wrote," explains frontman Raine Maida. "With this album, we kept working until we gotthat feeling from every song."
Unlike their methodology on previous albums, the process consisted of multiple lengthy writing sessions and time off in between to reflect on the new material. The band pieced together andrecorded a full 45 songs before they had the right tracks for the final cut. The paring down process was incredibly frustrating, testing the band's faith, confidence and resolve. There weremany heated debates and nearly everyone threatened to quit.
"I remember Raine once stormed out and walked up a hill and I thought that was it for him," saysbassist Duncan Coutts. "We were having an impromptu discussion about our future on the sideof a canyon in Malibu overlooking a cliff. It was kind of metaphoric. Is the band going to fallover the cliff? Is the band going to keep going?"
"I fired [producer] Bob Rock at one point and I think he quit at another," Maida says. "It was avery emotional process because we were fighting to not compromise our artistic vision and bringas much artistry as possible back into our music."
Ultimately, the group’s patience pays off. "Walking in Circles" evolves from a simple, stabbing beat and an encircling pattern of guitar lines to an urgent and explosive climax. Then there’s "Boy" which combines trickling guitars and buoyant bass with earthy vocals, and peaks with thekind of a mighty galvanic riff that unites nations. And the opening track "Will the Future Blame Us”—with lyrics inspired by the state of the world and its wars--starts with a driving, ringingrhythm that drops down for the verse before blossoming into an exultant chorus.
For Maida, the intensity of making Healthy in Paranoid Times was equaled by his activities during downtime from recording. As an active member of the charity War Child, Maida hastraveled to Iraq, Darfur and Sudan over the past three years to help film documentaries about thepoverty, suffering and pride of these third world regions. "Those trips have defined my life even more so than my music," he said. "And you can't help but let that stuff seep into the lyrics and even the sensibilities you're trying to get out of the songwriting and the emotion we're trying to get out of the music."
The first single, "Where Are You," addresses the search for spirituality in a sea of corruption. "After spending some time in the Middle East and Africa, I came back and saw just howpowerful the religious right wing of North America is," Maida says. "I thought it was a cultureshock going over to these places, but the real culture shock was coming back home."Now a decade into their recorded career, Our Lady Peace have reached a new creative andconceptual peak with Healthy in Paranoid Times: from challenging themselves with newwriting/recording techniques and redefining the goals of the band, to addressing global issues ofconsumerism and capitalism head-on. "This record is a perfect representation of our personalities and our perspectives on things at thecurrent moment," says drummer Jeremy Taggart.
Add Maida: “This is the real Our Lady Peace. It's the four of us making music together and an honest reflection of the seed of everything we planted 10 years ago."

I can't access the article but it comes up in the quote..
from all I have heard it seems this record was a very emotional cd to make.. It is a miricle they surviived, but I think it made thier bond as aband much stronger. I think the fact they are somewhat friends and not just bandmates helps..
I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Yeah, I noticed the Copy and Paste didn't work too well
Still, interesting stuff. As excited as I am with this record, my star-gazing has me looking even past it, because it could be an interesting year for OLP.
I find it interesting how Raine said he wanted to bring as much art "back into the music" as possible. Perhaps I'm reading into it too much, but maybe this is a concession from Raine that Gravity was too generic and not OLP enough. His quote at the end of the article seems to support this.

this works for me, I'm not sure why your link isn't working.

:OOOO go raine!
wow this album was hard/emotional to make.
maybe raine is having an epiphany about gravity and bob rock.. if you consider that 'bringing the artistry back into music' thing.

I think someone at the weekend was questioning that if this is what they're telling us about, what else went on that they're not letting on about? I'm not sure if that's really cynical or not ...
