That was mocking laughter by the way.
I don't get what you people are saying, just cause Crash Karma sounds a bit like Our Lady Peace - of course it does! But whats wrong with that?.....
You people obviously love pop music, I prefer rock and whats called alternative - I can't understand how you can think Our Lady Peace's new albums have anything in common with the past.
And why you say Happiness is not a Fish and Spiritual Machines, probably two of their best albums still, was the reason Mike Turner was booted out is stupid. You guys are insane.
I would love to know what kind of other music you buy or have listened to but its not the same as me I am sure.
If Mike Turner came back and they used Arnold Lanni or perhaps another producer, you would soon see what a real Our Lady Peace album should sound like.
And Steve Mazur may play differently on every album, but....he's a one man band, he doesn't contribute to the overall sound of the band like Mike did. Raine Maida needs to harden up and be more "rock"......and the band need to stop talking about the music and play it.
They release a dvd off healthy in paranoid times (Their worse album) of them talking about how painful the recording process was.....so inspirational.

Gravity wasn't trying anything new, it was selling out to the record label.
I don't expect Our Lady Peace to sound just like they did in the past, but the reality is, they haven't progressed or come up with anything new.
"Slow, meandering" songs is not progressing no matter what anyone will tell you. It also doesn't matter how long your songs "clock in" at - (like tool).
The reality is I admired Our Lady Peaces unique sound in the past, but now they have just become annoying.
Taking years to record albums, years of trying different approaches to the "recording process" while it seems along the way they forgot how to write a proper song.
Thats what Mike was focusing on, the songs......not the "direction."
The direction of the band works itself out on its own, they had their own identity and sound and they just messed it all up, and I think their record label and Bob Rock were the culprits, and the band of course, for being such a bunch of "pushovers..."

I kinda feel bad for Mike. He was probably hoping that OLP would be like an 80's hair band that didn't change anything for 30 years. Then, the Intervention banner was up when he walked into the studio one day.
