Don't let the thudding, ponderous beats fool you. Our Lady Peace makes deceptively complex, nuanced music on its new album, "Gravity." Sure, the quartet anchors that rock music with heavy-handed bass and drum beats. But it modulates it with subtle tempo changes that surprise you, melodic choruses that grab you and smart lyrics that can floor you. Take "Innocent." It's about "Tina's losing faith in what she knows/Hates her music/Hates all of her clothes/Thinks of surgery/ And a new nose...And that she'd never heard of cancer."

....WTF? Is this guy seriously getting paid for this? I think the tribune needs to find a new Music Critic, one who charges more than a loaf of bread and a bottle of gin

did you read that other review that was on olp.cc? the one by pop matters

http://www.ourladypeace.cc/articles/Art ... atters.htm

Another creepy influence pops up on the second half of Gravity: Creed. A good chunk of the later songs have that turgid, plodding beat that is the Creed staple, but none more than "Not Enough". If there is anyone less deserving of being an influential songwriter than Rob Thomas, it's Scott Stapp. The chorus of "Sell My Soul" also has Creed's "stamp" all over it, never mind the title. Thankfully, the rest of the lyrics dwell on more earthly matters.

me:

Am I not reading this correctly, or is he saying that OLP is like Creed? And, Not Enough being like Creed?!?!?!?! :wtf:

I didn't read that one...arrgghh...that makes me SO mad. OLP should never be compared to Creed. They're nothing alike. I can think of 50 bands that sound more like Creed than OLP, and to compare them lyrically...yow that's just painful. :mad:

Who's Tina?

It's in the song. In Innocent.

I always thought it was Judith, until I checked the liner notes.

Joey · Post by **Joey** » 8/16/2002, 10:35 am

I'm a moron .. I always thought he was saying "Dreams of losing faith in what she knows" huh .. I didn't know it was a name :|

LOL, you're not a moron.

It's hard to hear, anyway. You know how Raine slurs sometimes.

Joey · Post by **Joey** » 8/16/2002, 10:41 am

I like the way it sounds with 'Dreams' better .. I'm never gonna get used to saying Tina now :lol:

That's ok. I still don't know all of the words to certain songs. :oops:

It's kinda embarrassing, because I listen to OLP religiously, and I finally just figured some stuff. I think Raine does that purposely. :mrgreen:

Yah, "dreams" does sound better.

Nope. Check the Gravity liner notes.

Joey · Post by **Joey** » 8/16/2002, 10:47 am

Yeah I even double checked and went to Rich and Shelley's site and it's Tina :wtf:

Stop confusing me! :freak:

I believe we got Judith from the lyrics that were posted by people with advanced copies, who made their best guesses at the lyrics.

superboots · Post by **superboots** » 8/16/2002, 10:51 am

What? I swore that r&s had "Judith"

wow. strange stuff. :freak:

lol. I never touch my Gravity liner notes. It's my baby. it just sits there on my shelf and sometimes I look at it, just like I look at my greenwheel drumstick :nod:
