I just bought Happiness...

Post by rustynation »

and y'all are right. It's my favourite. I listened to the first nine songs straight through before I realized it was a CD and not the ambient noise that I should hear in my life. Right now I have Naveed-Clumsy-Happiness-Spiritual Machines-Gravity in my CD changer. It's an Our Lady Peace night. Probably cuz it rained all day ;)

Have you never heard Happiness... before prior? Jeebus, you're deprived.

Happiness was my favorite for the longest time. I'm coming out of a Naveed phase and into a Spiritual Machines mood, currently. Clumsy was what started it all, so it gets it's credit, there.

8O I enjoy Happiness... the least out of the 5 albums. I dunno, maybe I just haven't listened to it enough. I think Clumsy is my favourite.
Some of you probably think I left. But was I ever here to start?

I'm interested in why you feel that way. Most everyone puts it on their top 2, and then all of a sudden we come accross a couple who just rate it lowest.

Hmm... I don't really know why I don't like it. The only songs I like on it are the three singles, plus Happiness and the Fish, believe it or not. As of now, this is how I rank the CD's.
1. Clumsy
2. Gravity
3. Spiritual Machines
4. Naveed
5. Happiness...

I know a lot of people will disagree with that. :(

wow 8O

Mine's:

5. Gravity
4. Naveed
3. Clumsy
2. SM
1. Happiness. :nod:

Clumsy's what got me into OLP, though. There's a big diff between 5 and 4...but only a marginal diff between the last 4
HARDCORE!!!

OMG. I can't believe I din't think fo you
until now because when I think on
a scale of one to ten you're like YWELVE.
No, seriously?

8O u JUST bought happiness!?!? :wtf: how have you been living before this??

but yeah that's gotta be my favorite album too, it was the first one i actually bought, even though i'd heard some of clumsy before, and i was just captivated from one man army. i think i listened to the whole thing the first time through while just standing and staring at my stereo.

I got Clumsy at a garage sale before I had even heard of OLP. It was only 25 cents and at the time I had no cd's. So I thought, "what the hey?". I listened to it, and almost through it away. Then I dug it up around the time of Happiness..., and I've been listening to Our Lady Peace ever since. :mrgreen:

Wow, most people have Clumsy as one of the least two favorite songs...and Gravity as the least. Xavier, you're different, but we love you here.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

lol, I think Clumsy and 4am is what got me into OLP. I bought Happiness and I was like, "WTF? Where are those songs I love?" I bought Clumsy the next week. So, I got Happiness before Clumsy, even though clumsy was what got me into OLP

I could have sworn people rated the OLP cd's on here and Gravity usually came in last, and Clumsy was rarely in the top two.
