A solid review (more praise for L&T), but I disagree that the sound is more mainstream than Gravity.

Seems like its getting a great response so far.

What an awful review from the Toronto Sun! That's terrible! More commercial than the last release? Are you joking? A "polished pop" album? Give me a break. Whoever wrote this review has serious problems.

too bad it was in such a big paper as the Sun too.

naseoj · Post by **naseoj** » 8/29/2005, 11:56 am

Yeah that really sucks. It's gonna send so many people the wrong message.

naveed99 · Post by **naveed99** » 8/29/2005, 12:00 pm

That was the first semi-bad review Ive read.

Yah, there's going to be a ton of people reading this review, which is too bad, because Its a really great album/

naseoj · Post by **naseoj** » 8/29/2005, 12:03 pm

Don't be fooled by my number of posts - I'm a huge OLP fan and I think this album may end up my favourite. I am offended by the review.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 8/29/2005, 12:06 pm

Read it again. They aren't saying that it's more mainstream of Gravity, just that it's more mainstream than the band's previous releases. They go on to mention that the first album in this mainstream direction was Gravity.

naseoj · Post by **naseoj** » 8/29/2005, 12:20 pm

Healthy In Paranoid Times generally continues in the same mainstream direction that began with Gravity

That's just completely not true.

the resulting sound is even more commercial -- with less shrieking rock and more polished pop -- than previous OLP efforts.

If you'll notice, they say "even more commercial", which implies that it is more commercial than any of the other albums.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 8/29/2005, 12:24 pm

"than previous" not "than all previous".

Either way it's a shoddily written review at best.

naseoj · Post by **naseoj** » 8/29/2005, 12:25 pm

Agreed.
